Tammy Wynette and husband George Richey narrowly avoided having their possessions carted away from their Nashville, Tenn.-area mansion by federal marshals over the weekend. Wynette and Richey filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition last week after a Florida court handed down a $900,000 judgment against them in a dispute with a Boynton Beach, Fla., savings and loan.
