Subject_topic=small town police out of control

message text=On January 14,2000 my daughter was fired from her job as a food
handler from a local restaurant. My daughter and I went to the restaurant to
get her final pay check. The owners had left and instructed their employees
to call the police if we showed up, which they did. Some time later officer
Osborn came to my home and threatened my daughter and me with arrest if we
ever went back to the restaurant again. I told him that this was getting out
of hand and requested he get the Chief to come over so we could get this
cleared up. He refused and left. My wife and I both complained to the now
deceased Councilman McCaleb who was reported to be the police commissioner at
the time about the officers conduct. Nothing was done. The next day my
daughter and I went to Chief Johnson's home to complain about officer
Osborn's conduct and was told he was just trying to be profesional. We told
the Chief we needed to go back to the restaurant to get her pay check. He
advised us not to talk to the woman owner as she was a "Loose Cannon" but to
talk to the man owner. We went directly to the restaurant and were told she
could get her check on the following Wednesday and left. The owner said he
was calling the police as we were leaving. The Shady Cove Police then filed
CRIMINAL TRESPASS SECOND DEGREE A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR with the Jackson
County district attorney Case #SCPD-00-059/TB/cw. The above caused warrants
to be issued for our arrest since the notice to appear was sent to our
physical address and not to our PO Box. We had to retain a attorney which
cost $1200.00 to clear up this mess.Jackson County case#00-o467-A/B-MI. The
attorney got the charges reduced to violations and we were both fined
$100.00 I can identify with the trouble Weaver and Podlech are having.

Sincerely,

Ken Olson
