Dear mike clem,

I would like to register a complaint regarding the vicious dog incident that occurred on hampton lane 03/09/2022 at approximately 3:17pm.

(1) the call to 911, which was automatically transferred to animal control, should have been treated like a real emergency. The gentleman from spectrum services could not do his job at my residence as he genuinely feared for his safety and could not safely reach his vehicle.

We were both held hostage by the vicious dog for approximately one (1) hour. This vicious dog temporarily left my property to terrorize a sheriff’s deputy onsite on the royals property. This vicious dog attempted to attack you, mike. You feared for your safety and pulled out your handgun. You also sprayed this dog with what i can only assume was mace.

(2) mr. Clem, you drove up to my home and did not even address me. You spoke with the man from spectrum, you told him that you had his back, you stood between the dog and the spectrum employee to guard his safety. Where was the protection for me? You left the vicious dog running at large without regard for the safety of the citizens who live on hampton lane.

(3) you made some comment regarding the fact that you could not get close enough to the dog to apply the catcher’s noose and basically stated that there was nothing you could do.

The deputy onsite at the royals residence spoke to you and assisted you onto my next-door neighbor’s property. What happened? You made a comment that you could not confiscate the animal while the dog was not on its own property. You stated that you could not take the animal as that would constitute theft.

(4) you stated that you could not receive assistance from other law enforcement personnel and that you were the only deputy on shift. You had the assistance of another sheriff’s deputy, why did he leave before the animal was secured?

You offered to bring a trap to my residence on the morning of 03/10/2022, but did not deliver the trap. I stated that i would not be able to put food into the trap as the two (2) dogs involved have become increasingly more vicious over the last two (2) years.

I stated that the female dog attempted to attack me when i was on the side of my own home adjusting window screens. I stated that the male killed one of my chickens and has been more confrontational lately.

(5) the date of this incident was not the first i called animal control regarding vicious dogs. The last time i contacted the sheriff’s office regarding this same animal, sheriff’s deputy came to my home to ask me where the dog was.

I stated the dog was running at large, why would the deputies believe i would have possession of this vicious dog. That sheriff’s deputy also stated that he could not confiscate this vicious animal unless it is on my property.

Does the sheriff’s office expect me to lure every vicious dog into my fenced backyard so that it would be easier for law enforcement to do their job?

(6) i researched the alabama code, title 3, chapter 1, section 3-1-*. The law reads similar to an animal and farmer’s rights statute, it describes specific remedies and restitutions, it assigns a legal criminal classification which includes the legal punishment, it specifies the amount of the fines, etc.

What i did not find in the statutes was verbiage stating that a vicious animal running at large could not be confiscated unless it was physically on the complaintant’s property or in the complaintant’s possession!

(7) it appears to me that the limestone county sheriff’s office, in my opinion, has some kind of prejudicial reason for what, i do not know. Case in point:

On 08/18/2015 police incident report number 1508-1444 was written by deputy j. King which recorded the incident type as harassment. The report also recorded an incident with other neighbor’s dogs on my property as well as an issue regarding their use of drones flying all over my property to create a hostile environment.

A copy of this incident report was obtained the following day. This document had been marked “administratively cleared” and the case status was marked “inactive.” on 09/21/2015 police incident report number 1509-1536 was written g. Moore which recorded an incident regarding neighbors throwing food into my dog yard and that one of my dogs was fed bologna laced with poison, which killed the puppy.

Deputy moore also said that he spoke with Neighbors) about their dogs running at large. He told them that i had video of dogS) coming onto my property. This report also recorded dates that i did not understand, i.E., sept. 8th and aug 23rd. This document does not indicate the case status or the disposition like 1508-1444.

On 10/24/2015 police incident report number 1510-1674 was written by danny craig who recorded the type of incident was poison dogs and said that victim went to the doctor and when she came back home someone fed her dogs chicken, victim states she could smell it on them. Deputy craig also noted that victim wishes to speak to deputy gil moore.

Other reports indicated the same types of incidents regarding the same issues of harassment and dogs running at large. The first incident was actually written in 2014 by jonathan hardiman. The last incident report was written in 2018 by mark zivat. These incident types are still occurring today.

(8) i, denise karen leone-mccafferrey, have suffered a great deal at the hands of neighbors and the lack of support from the limestone county sheriff’s office, including their animal control department. I have had issues with my neighbors’ dogs running loose, invading my property, causing damage, killing my chickens, etc.

Not all of my chickens were killed by the dogs, several were killed by neighbors themselves. I have made many complaints from august 2015 to present regarding vandalism and problems with dogs running loose in my area. Some of these dogs were very vicious, like the pit bull and other mixed breed dogs. One pit bull was deliberately trained to attack people on command.

One of my neighbors actually put this pit bull through “attack training.” the woman from the blake residence used a clicker to give the dog the command to viciously charge, then used the clicker command to halt. This pit bull stunned me!

To witness a whole lot of muscle and speed come charging onto my land and toward my home, then suddenly come to a complete stop, was one of the most frightening things i have ever witnessed. I know about attack training because one of my uncles had his german shepard trained, then brought him to me for my protection.

The children in my neighborhood, as well as the adults, loved to antagonize and terrorize me by calling a black pit bull, as well as other dogs, onto my property. My next-door neighbors, blake golden according to police incident reports, used to take their dogs off their leashes, walk them to my property line, and let them loose to terrorize my rooster.

I had video proof from the infrared game cameras, which were viewed by a limestone county sheriff’s deputy by the name of gil moore. At times, someone from the blake residence would drive their vehicle into their back yard, place it in such a manner so as to blind the game cameras with the headlights.

Sheriff’s incident report number 1612-1041 dated 12/15/2016, written by gil moore, stated: “on date and time above victim stated offenders Neighbors) will not keep dogs on property. Victim stated this has been going on for months.

Animal control set a trap on victim property and trapped dogs but offenders went to animal shelter and got them out and they Dogs) back on victim property again. Victim stated she don’t know what else to do except get a warrant or court date. One brown and white pit, one blk with only 3 legs-blake golden owner.”

At some point between 2014 and 2018, i received a visit from an animal control deputy. This deputy handed me a copy of the alabama code, title 3, chapter 1, section 3-1-5 regarding permitting dogs to run at large. I was told that i could get into a lot of trouble if i continued to make calls to the sheriff’s office regarding my issues with other dogs running loose on my property.

As he left my home, i just began to cry. At some point, i purchased a small caliber handgun and actually shot at the vicious pit bull. I had sheriff deputies come to my home, some chastised me vehemently, threatened to arrest me, etc. Again, i just burst into tears. Some of the deputies just talked to me about the dangers of shooting a gun.

They gave me some examples of real incidents that turned out so tragically. They wanted me to understand the real risks that come with firing a handgun. They told me that someone shot off a gun, the bullet entered the tail-light of a vehicle, traveled through the vehicle, and struck the driver.

Now, i can really see the total destruction of my home due to vandalism committed by my neighbors. My home has been dismantled from under the house, the carpeting is shredded and damaged with water stains from water the neighbors poured into the sub-floors.

The exterior siding has been cut often and in so many places, including the metal lip that sealed the siding in place. The earthquake components have been removed, the tie-down straps cut and the frame has been removed. The heavy steel beams and steel girders have been lifted off the ground and set on top of small concrete blocks and stabilized with wood shims.

My disabilities have progressively worsened over the years to the point of being debilitating. I am now sixty-nine (69) years old and can barely function physically, in or out of my home. I now find myself in a peculiar situation, i have been forced to order groceries and supplies online. I have had to pay delivery fees, file numerous disputes with my financial institutions due to fraudulent over-billing, or was forced to physically struggle in an attempt to pick-up the necessary items myself.

All this hardship, stress, and frustration is due to a monopoly in the online shop & delivery business, known as instacart. Now, to do the pickup orders, i am forced to shop at a store i do not prefer due to poor meat quality. I cannot find suitable services to meet my new needs and have suffered financial set-backs as i live on my social security income.

I cannot get justice, protection, or support from the limestone county sheriff’s office. I recently attempted to discuss the issues with the limestone county commission representative for my district as the alabama statutes taught me that the sheriff’s office was accountable to the county commission. I am a homeowner, a tax payer, an upstanding member of this community, and i do not have a criminal record.

Consistently telling me that all you can do to protect my person and personal property is to “put on extra patrols” is insulting, asinine, and non-responsive law enforcement. Cordially, denise mccafferrey

Statement of facts

What led to the destruction of my home was related to issues with people living in my neighborhood. I do not understand what motivated my neighbors, who criminally trespassed onto my property to commit crimes against my person, my home, and my land. My neighbors started with harassment on august 3, 2015 and by august 8, 2015, one of my dogs was dead. Someone took a piece of bologna, laced it with malathion, and tossed it into my fenced-in dog yard at night. The assault on my person, home, and land continues to this day. That is six (6) years and seven (7) months of some sort of violent vibrations and other type of power that could not be detected by electricians or utility professionals.

My neighbors began by attaching inexpensive two-way rf radio signal devices on the windows of my home. I do not understand how these radio signals were strategically placed in other areas of my home, but it was extremely unnerving and annoying. With the radio signals in place, they stalked me in my own home and listened to everything that was taking place inside. They harassed me at all hours of the day and night with noise to prevent this 63 to 69-year-old disabled woman from getting any sleep or rest. In 2015, i was suffering with severe pain from injuries sustained in an f3 tornado on april 28, 2014. My injuries included a break in the neck at the c2 vertebrae, head trauma, multiple and severe hematomas all over my legs, nerve damage to the groin and glutes, etc. My entire way of life has been completely stripped away from my person and my home.

People in my neighborhood did the following with “malice aforethought:”

(1) tapped into my electrical system to utilize the home’s power for their own purposes, i.E., to cause damage to the home and its occupant;

(2) when i began to cut the power off to my home, neighbors constructed their own electrical system to utilize the power from other sources, i.E., neighboring homes, clements high school, etc.;

(3) applied so much power to the home that the vibration caused a break in one of the main mating beams on the floor of the home. This incident initiated the earthquake repair process, i.E., top-level flooring broke away and is contained in the subfloor level, the hydraulics system fluctuated entire rooms to relevel the floors, the roller system was then initiated to restore the padding under the carpets and vinyl flooring,

A) this process could possibly have the potential capability to disturb some of the home’s systems, which would be unknown to the homeowner. However, this homeowner did not detect any leaks or other problems for years;

(4) drilled holes in the roof to install unknown electrical devices as well has electrical wiring that was attached to the furnace without authorized access from the homeowner;

(5) constantly climbed up on my roof over approximately two (2) year period, at one point, a person almost fell off the roof. So much damage was made to the roofing that it had to be replaced sometime in 2017;

(6) erected some type of a room under the master bedroom;

(7) began to dismantle items of the home to install unknown devices of their own;

(8) broke into the brick retaining wall to gain access to the crawlspace without visual detection by the homeowner;

(9) disturbed the hard dirt pad, which is basically the foundation, which prompted an inspection by afs foundation & waterproofing specialists on october 2, 2018;

(10) made cut-outs in the metal lip that used to secure the exterior’s siding to the home. This was performed so that the neighbors could attach some type of metal rods to deliver a massive amount of power to the home and its occupant;

(11) constructed some sort of a control panel of their own so that they could turn their nasty power rods on and off as they pleased;

(12) regraded my land five (5) times on one side of the home and three (3) times on the other side disturbing the septic tank and plumbing, as well as regraded the gravel driveway in front of the home;

(13) systematically soaked the flooring throughout the house until the carpet fibers started to break down and there was a partial collapse of the flooring in the kitchen/dining area;

(14) removed a lot of insulation, which looked like foam mattresses, and through them all over the crawlspace;

(15) consistently tampered with an expensive water hydrant installed at the back of my land until they broke the plumbing;

(16) dismantled many items from the house to remove the frame, cut the metal straps, severely damaged the concrete footing portion of the foundation, stack the metal frame pieces on some sort of old-style cinder block and used wood wedges to stabilized the beam and girders;

(17) strong vibrations from their devices, as well as actual tampering with the heating and cooling system generated excessive maintenance repair costs to the heating and cooling system, i.E., at one point the unit was completely drained of coolant at an expense in the amount of $720;

(18) they cut into the siding to create some sort of a slot to insert some sort of disc in which to torture my disabled body, especially the neck and upper back, specifically the two vertebrae that were damaged and eventually caused my disabilities. They also targeted my left leg that was badly injured in the 2014 tornado;

(19) literally made cut-outs under the carpet in the master bedroom location of the home so that i could hear them talk, threaten, and terrorize the homeowner;

(20) someone placed a rather large pile of rat poison, formed in a perfect circle, in between my washer and dryer inside my home. “one of my dogs kept trying to get at something between the two appliances, so i rushed them outside. I do not recall what distracted me, let the dogs back in the house, then remembered that i had not cleaned up the pile of rat poison. When i went to do that, the pile of rat poison was completely gone. Not long after that, another one of my dogs was dead;”

(21) they were shooting in the wooded area on my property, i witnessed groups of feathers, they were killing birds; scattered bird-shot across the back of my property as i walked toward the chicken coop; shot off a gun near the end of the fenced-in dog yard, inside property lines;

(22) they loosened the boards in both porches creating a safety hazard as the nails kept coming up and caused injuries;

(23) i literally witnessed people from the blake residence next door deliberately take their dogs off their leashes to bring them onto my property to harass the rooster. They did this at all hours of the night and early morning. I had them on video driving their car to position it in such a manner that the headlights would cause a white-out effect on the game camera. This activity caused my main waterline to recede in that area between the two back yards;

I purchased two game cameras, set them up on my back porch, turned in opposite directions. I had proof that my neighbors were criminally trespassing onto my property in the form of 494 video clips dated from march 2016 to september 2021. Deputy gil moore, of the limestone county sheriff’s office, viewed many of these video clips that i had downloaded from the game cameras. Deputy moore conducted an investigation and spoke with some of my neighbors. At some point, the sheriff’s office stopped coming to my home. Their stock answer was that they would set up extra patrols in my neighborhood.

I do have some police reports and documentation regarding the damages to my home by someone other than myself, as i am not easily capable of crawling under my home to do much of anything without experiencing horrific pain. Now comes home first agency, my home insurance policy administrator, and all they do is deny every claim. Case in point, claim# 201526127, assigned to reggie lane. Denied as “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: settling.” claim# 201705055, assigned to chelsey ellenburg, was also denied. The documentation specifying the explanation cannot be located. Claim# 201812655, assigned to autumn potter, was denied. The documentation states “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: no direct physical loss or damage to the dwelling caused by a covered peril at the time of the inspection.” claim# 201822712 assigned to autumn potter was denied. The documentation states “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: no direct physical loss or damage to the dwelling caused by a covered peril at the time of the inspection.”

Claim# 202106501, assigned to aaron esmark was not denied. The letter states, “in order to expedite this claim, please send an official police report which details the stolen items and any damage to your home and/or personal effects. Please complete, date and sign the enclosed personal effects summary sheetS) and burglary-robbery-theft claim form. List each stolen item along with the original date and place of purchase, and proof of ownership. Please list each item separately. Pictures are needed to verify the damage to your home and/or personal effects along with two (2) estimates on company letterhead for repairs or replacement of the damaged itemS), please return the requested information by march 30, 2021. If you have any questions, please contact me at 800-804-9389, extension 5592. Please have your claim number ready when you call. Sincerely, aaron esmark, claim representative, direct fax number – 865-380-3973. Attached please find a proof of loss form that is required for you to complete and return to my attention as soon as possible. Please be aware that this form must be notarized and the original must be returned prior to any funds being released. If you have any questions, please contact me at 800-804-9389, extension 5592. Please have your claim number ready when you call. Sincerely, aaron esmark, claim representative, direct fax number – 865-380-3973.”

My homeowners plus program, section i – conditions, item 2 states, “your duties after loss. In case of a loss to which this insurance may apply, you shall see that the following duties are performed: A) give immediate notice to us or our agent, and in case of theft also to the police; B) protect the property from further damage, make reasonable and necessary repairs required to protect the property, and keep an accurate record of repair expenditures; C) prepare an inventory of damaged personal property showing in detail, the quantity, description, actual cash value and amount of loss. Attach to the inventory all bills, receipts and related documents that substantiate the figures in the inventory.” refer to exhibit d for the remaining policy statements.

I continued to file claims for vandalism, i.E., 202113102, assigned to reggie lane and was denied stating, “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: no direct physical loss found to the home at time of inspection.” claim number 202106501 which was assigned to brandi christopher and was denied stating, “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: wear and tear to the dwelling.” brandi christopher denied 202106501 for the second time stating, “our investigation indicates that your loss is due to: animal damage to the flooring.” brandi christopher opened claim number 202203578, acknowledged on february 15, 2022 based on a report submitted by david tuck in early december 2021. Brandi christopher paid this claim in the amount of $3,159.62. However, the payment check came with a detailed and itemized list of repair instructions that basically was a remodel of the home, see exhibit e. I filed complaints with the alabama department of insurance Aldoi), possibly the alabama attorney general, possibly scamion, etc. In my opinion, i have successfully completed my due diligence responsibility and now require an unbiased opinion.

I would like to point out to the claims department the significance of the “tie-down,” this issue alone voids an fha inspection record. That inspection record is then preserved by personnel with the building code agency. If afs had provided their estimate in 2018, this struggle with home first agency would have been dealt with in a timely manner. With regards to the loss settlement check, there are conditions specified in the policy that i believe is misunderstood by someone. Item 14, loss payable clause states: “the word “leinholder” includes trustee. If a lienholder is named in this policy, a loss payable under coverage a, b, or c will be paid to the lienholder and you, as interests appear. If more than one lienholder is named, the order of payment will be the same as the order or precedence of the liens. If we deny your claim, that denial will not apply to a valid claim of the lienholder, if the lienholder, A) notifies us of a change in ownership, occupancy, or substantial change in risk of which the lienholder is aware. B) pays any premium due under this policy on demand, if you have neglected to pay the premium. C) submits a signed, sworn statement of loss within 60 days after receiving notice from us of your failure to do so. Policy conditions relating to appraisal, suit against us, and loss payment apply to the lienholder.”

It is my opinion, that the lienholder would not and should not have been listed on the check issued by home first agency due to the fact that the conditions for their involvement had not been met. A) there has been no change in ownership or occupancy. With regards to “substantial change in risk,” my payments are made on-time every month. There is no risk to the lienholder, my loan amount is not on their balance sheet as bad debt. B) the premium for my home owner’s policy was set up as an escrow account during the closing process. I prefer to have my taxes and insurance paid monthly as opposed to receiving a yearly bill for both taxes and insurance. I just want to clarify that the lienholder is not paying the premium out of their pocket as i pay into the escrow accounts and that amount was added to my monthly mortgage payment. C) i have not failed in my responsibilities to anyone. No such condition currently exists that would authorize home first agency to notify the lienholder of my failure to do anything. If the claims department was confused in this matter, they should have consulted with the underwriting department at home first agency. The home is the largest asset for all americans and we buy insurance to protect this precious commodity.

Sources of legal authority

In accordance with ala. Code, title 13a, ch. 7, sec. 13a-7-4, intrusion upon property, which states in part: “a person commits the crime of criminal trespass in the third degree if he/she knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in or upon premises.” these neighbors did not want me to see and/or catch them on my property. They acted as nothing more than cowards and their arrogance was over-the-top. They boldly came onto my property, peered hard into my windows trying to see inside my home. They tried to gain access to the interior of my home through the sliding glass doors in the back of the house. They brought, what i assumed to be an old blood hound, to sniff out my actual location inside my home. They did try to come through the front door once, then appeared to behave like an ape on my back porch, like a wanton criminal. They taunted me from the back parking lot of clements high school. They pierced the sub-floor level with i do not know what kind of shard to bring me such incredible pain i have never experienced before. They planted inexpensive listening devices throughout my home from the crawlspace or the exterior of my home. All of their actions made it extremely difficult to prove to the limestone county sheriff’s office, i was a nut in their opinion.

In accordance with ala. Code, title 13a, ch. 8, sec. 13a-8-36, criminal trespass, which states in part: “(2) the defendant did so with the intent to damage property and having no right to do so or any reasonable ground to believe he/she had a right to do so.” the people in the neighborhood surrounding my home were never invited or were authorized to be on my property. They have invaded my privacy and property unlike anything i have ever encountered. They had no respect for my person or my property. In my opinion, their wanton, vicious, brutal appetites appear to be 100% criminal. These people used their expertise, i.E., electricians, plumbers, masonry skills, etc., to commit crimes against a 63-year-old In 2015) disabled woman. Why? That is what i would like to know.

In accordance with the 2006 ohio revised code 2921.44, regarding dereliction of duty, which states: “dereliction of duty generally refers to a failure to conform to rules of one’s job, which will vary by tasks involved. It is a failure or refusal to perform assigned duties in a satisfactory manner. Dereliction of duty on the part of an employee may be cause for disciplinary action, which will vary by employer. It may refer to a failure by an organization member to abide by the standing rules of its constitution or by-laws or perform the duties of the position appointed to.” it appears to me that the sheriff’s office is most probably guilty of dereliction of duty as they did not see fit to set up any type of surveillance for my property in spite of the fact that they used to have a deputy’s vehicle stationed in clements high school’s back parking lot directly behind my property. At one point, it looked like they were occasionally performing surveillance of my property from across the street from my home. How did jason black know about the so-called drones? I only surmised that what i thought i saw from my chicken coop was perhaps some kind of drone. However, the game camera video clips confirmed some of what i saw with my own eyes and what gil moore saw when he viewed the same video clips. When i filed a complaint with the federal aviation administration Faa) i included some of the video clips. Later, i learned that the faa implemented a law banning drones from being flown anywhere in the united states unless they were registered with the faa. The limestone county sheriff’s office failed to acknowledge the legitimacy of my complaints.

Ala. Code, title 13a. Ch. 6, art. 2, section 13a-6-20A) states, “a person commits the crime of assault in the first degree if: (1) with intent to cause serious physical injury to another person, he or she causes serious physical injury to any person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument; or (2) with intent to disfigure another person seriously and permanently, or to destroy, amputate, or disable permanently a member or organ of the body of another person, he or she causes such an injury to any person…” my neighbors stalked and harassed me at all hours of the day and night with noise to prevent this 63 to 69-year-old disabled woman from getting any sleep or rest. In 2015, i was suffering with severe pain from injuries sustained in an f3 tornado on april 28, 2014. My injuries included a break in the neck at the c2 vertebrae, head trauma, multiple and severe hematomas all over my legs, nerve damage to the groin and glutes, etc. My entire way of life has been completely stripped away from my person and my home. I used to walk my property, now i utilize my car to get the mail and feed my chickens. In 2014 to 2020 i could walk around my home freely, now i had to utilize a walking stick until today when i primarily have to utilize a walker. In december 2021 i was no longer strong enough to do my own shopping and had to utilize online shopping and delivery services.

Hb493 2 199374 3 states, “acting in concert means a person will be deemed “acting in concert” with another person for purposes of these bylaws it such person knowingly act Whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, arrangement or understanding) in concert with, or towards a common goal relating to the management governance or control of the corporation in parallel with, such other person where A) each person is conscious of the other person’s conduct or intent and this awareness is an element in their decision-making processes and B) at least one additional factor suggests that such persons intend to act in concert or in parallel, which such additional factors may include, without limitation, exchanging information Whether publicly or privately), attending meetings, conducting discussions, or making or soliciting invitations to act in concert or in parallel; provided, that a person shall not be deemed to be acting in concert with any other person solely as a result of the solicitation or receipt of revocable proxies from such other person in connection with a public proxy solicitation pursuant to, and in accordance with, the exchange act. A person that is acting in concert with another person shall also be deemed to be acting in concert with any third party who is also acting in concert with the other person.” i was involved in an email conversation with jason black on december 12, 2021, when a man stealthily walked up my disability ramp to the front door, but did not knock on the door. I watched the man walk back down my disability ramp and noticed that he was holding a gun in his right hand. I was absolutely stunned and mentioned the incident to jason black. He responded by asking me if i was alright, then stated that he would talk to the sheriff and the district attorney the next day. However, mr. Black did not inform me of the results of his conversation with either party.

Ala. Code, title 3, ch. 1, sec. 3-1-5A) states, “every person owning or having in charge any dog of dogs shall at all times confine such dog or dogs is or are regularly kept. Nothing in this section shall prevent the owner of any dog or dogs or other person or persons having such dog or dogs in his or their charge from allowing such dog or dogs to accompany such owner or other person or persons elsewhere than on the premises on which such dog or dogs is or are regularly kept. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than $2.00 nor more than $50.00.” on march 9, 2022 i called 911 to report a vicious dog attack upon a spectrum technician who was on my property to perform his duties as requested. The technician, in fear for his safety, was not able to reach his vehicle. The 911 call was not handled as an emergency as i was automatically transferred to animal control and was forced to leave a message. The animal control deputy, mike clem, upon arrival to my home did not speak to the homeowner. Instead, he assured the spectrum technician that he “had his back.” this deputy wrestled with his apprehension of this vicious dog, fending it off with the catcher’s noose and pepper spray but could not apprehend the animal. However, when it came to the safety of the disabled homeowner his statement was “i can bring you a trap in the morning, if you would like.”

“each commission acts as the executive of the local government, levying local taxes, administering county government services such as correctional institutions, courts, public health oversight, property registration, building code enforcement, and public works E.G. Road maintenance).
