Police came with a search warrant for one of our tenants who was not home at the time. (Note: Police knew this as the tenant quickly left the house minutes before they came. The tenant had to ride his moped right pass these officers as witnessed by a neighbor).
My ex (homeowner), myself, his best friend of 56 years and my girlfriend who stopped by to use the computer before work were home. My ex and friend were in the office out back. A detached building with a workshop and motorcycles and two large vaults with an estimated $600,000 gun collection that belonged to my ex 86 year old dad. And a large office. I was walking out the gate to go grocery shopping when a bunch of men with masks came approaching my front porch. Being the month of Oct. and having such friends with an odd sense of humor, I thought I was getting a Halloween O Gram. lol I really thought this. But soon realized these guys were serious. As we were all handcuffed and placed in the backyard, the police continued to tear up our bedrooms. I asked what this was all about and an officer said "Were' here for this guy" pointing at a piece of paper I assumed was a warrant. The name was our tenants. When asked if I could see this warrant, I was told to shut up and my questions will be answered later.
Next, they wanted to combo to the vaults. Which I thought was odd since if you didn't know these vaults were there, you wouldn't know it. But they did right away and my ex could not give them the combo. They relentlessly pressed and pressed for this combo. Just so you know. My ex and I have enjoyed smoking pot and recreational drugs for over 40 years. We are private people and literally do it in our closets. We work hard, I work out every day, I make dinner every night at 6 and I am mom. My son lives here also. I collect trinket things. I have many different little trinkets throughout my house. One of my favorites was given to my by my grandfather. It is a silver blimp. It had gone missing for some time until I saw it on our tenants desk. I told him to please not touch my things and took it back throwing it my nightstand forgetting about it. The police went through my personal belongings finding this blimp. The twisted the top off and found 3 baggies of meth inside. I was sick.
I was arrested for sales and possession, my ex for gun sales!!! and our two guests for possession. Apparently they found a gram between the two of them. While at the station they continued to call to get the combo. Finally they called the fire dept down. when they couldn't get the vaults open, they called a special lock smith. As witnessed by the next door neighbor, when the vault doors opened all officers did a victory happy dance. Took all the guns, the ammo and left.
It will be two years this month since we were arrested. We have been to court 27 times and every time there is an excuse as to why we have to make another date. We finally just had a prelim. And we have been ordered to answer these charges. We thought this would have been dismissed. We thought a judge would read the 5 different amended police reports and ask if this was a joke. Note: THE TENANT THAT WASN'T THERE AND THE WARRANT WAS FOR?? On amended police report #4 and 5 the tenant was there at the time of our arrests. AND STATES MY EX AND THIS TENANT ALSO HAD OPEN FIREARMS!!!
The tenant....was arrested, no excuse me, turned himself in ONE YEAR LATER. I'm sure you can figure out why (before we motioned to reveal C.I. tenant turned himself in)
I have spent thousands on an attorney who bragged that he was the next best thing to God and said he could get the guns back.
On Sept 31st Labor Day weekend 2014, police came back and broke down out new front door down. handcuffed me, my son and my ex and our new tenant. Went and searched in all the same places as before. Found a pipe in my closet. Found to old bong stems in the back office. Oh and a bag in my vanity. I do acrylic nails. This was a very thick baggie used to put acrylic powder in. There was just a light film of powder in it. The police said it was .05 of what appears to be drugs. I tried to explain to them what it was and that the bag itself weighs .05. I was told to shut up. That this was his city and he was going to come back every week until I was run out.
Our tenant told us that the police wanted him to work with him and tell them where my ex gets his dope. But they discovered the tenant also had drugs. which I found unbelievable. He is an old guy who came with great references and worked everyday. No arrest records. So no more deal making.
Everything I have written here is the complete truth. Nothing changed, Nothing exaggerated. Our lives have been destroyed. Every penny of our money has been spent. Now we face something called crime bail crime. Where our bail will be more. I'm out of money. I am out of hope. I am not going back to jail. I am done.
Everything I was raised to believe about police officers and the justice system has been destroyed. Ok, so I do things that aren't good or legal. But they were done in the privacy of my own house. I pay taxes and I work hard for a living. Everyone including these cops do things in the privacy of their own homes. But no one is breaking down their doors and taking peoples constitutional rights away!!! THIS IS WRONG BUT NO JUDGE WILL READ THE REPORTS. THEY HAVE TAKEN ALL THE MONEY THEY WILL GET FROM ME.
