Improper Police Procedure
I contacted the Frederick County Sheriff because Lana Burns of the Echo Village Budget Motel had harassed me over a period of four months. I was instructed by my attorney, Renee Patrick, to contact the Frederick County Sheriff if Ms. Burns or her employees harassed me further. Ms. Burns charged me a $30 pet deposit for my service animal and discriminated against me because I have a disability. Ms. Burns wrote me a letter that I must leave the motel; although I had already paid. Ms. Burns wanted to raise the rent. Ms. Burns and her staff began harassing me by opening my door and entering my room without my permission at 10:30 a.m. although I had paid for the room and had paid a security deposit and pet deposit. Ms. Burns refused to return my $60 deposit. Ms. Burns falsely accused me of defrauding a landlord. Ms. Burns stole $50 that was in my purse in my motel room. Ms. Burns stole my rent receipts that were in my motel room. Ms. Burns and her staff routinely would take possession of belongings in people's motel rooms although those people had paid for the room and left a deposit. Phil, the maintenance man, was employed in removing people's belongings from their room. Phil destroyed several hundred dollars of food that I had purchased with food stamps. Phil emptied my refrigerator and freezer in room 117, although I had stayed there for four months; and had paid for the room.
After hearing Ms. Burns false accusations against me, Deputy White of the Frederick County Sheriff's Department refused to listen to me. Deputy White falsely accused me of "defrauding a landlord" with no documentation. Deputy White then viciously assaulted me.
I called 911 to report that Deputy White had assaulted me - tearing my sweater off of me; and leaving a bruise from my armpit to my elbow.
At the jail, Deputy White committed perjury stating that I had smashed his fingers in the door jamb four times - although there had been no evidence on the door - no skin or blood. There was no evidence I had smashed his fingers in the door - Deputy White's fingers did not have any bruises or breaks or blood - although he falsely stated that I had put my whole body into closing the door on his fingers.
Corporal Holliday of the Frederick County Sheriff's Department interrogated me about Deputy White's assault of me; but then refused press any charges against Deputy White even though I had bruises on my left arm from my armpit down to my elbow. I showed Corporal Holliday the sweater with the ripped fabric from where Deputy White actually tore my sweater off of me. Corporal Holliday refused to take my sweater into evidence. Corporal Holliday stated they were "old bruises." Corporal Holliday did not take any of my statements as true; and would not receive a complaint against Deputy White. Corporal Holliday went away to talk with Deputy White; and only when he returned after consulting with Deputy White and the Commonwealth's Attorney did they indicate that I was under the suspicion of committing an assault against a law enforcement officer. Instead of protecting me from Deputy White, Corporal Holliday allowed Deputy White to further physically abuse me by arresting me for allegedly assaulting him. Deputy White put the handcuffs on too tight and left on bruise on my right wrist. This arrest was done only after Corporal Holliday had arrived; and about a half hour after Deputy White assaulted me.
Deputy White, Corporal Holliday and the Commonwealth's attorney conspired to deny me of my Constitutional rights. Deputy White contacted the Commonwealth's Attorney after Deputy White had assaulted me. Deputy White stated to Corporal Holliday that the Commonwealth's Attorney had stated to Deputy White to arrest me for assaulting a law enforcement officer.
There were eight eyewitnesses to Deputy White's assault of me. I have provided a list of these eyewitnesses to my attorney, Mark Vann.
The magistrate at the NRADC refused to accept a criminal complaint against Deputy White.
Sheriff Williamson refuses to speak with me. Sheriff Williamson refuses to investigate Deputy White's assault of me.
