Just been catching up on your story Bronx.
Great thing you are doing.
Maybe worth talking to the local press?
Thanks JD. That is something I'm keeping in my back pocket right now. Hell, my uncle was editor of Parade Magazine for like 30 years. Its a local paper stuffer on Sunday editions. I'm sure he can call one of his friends at the paper. This could turn into a potentially big story , I learned a lot today.
First , I now know the name of Mr "upstairs" . Told ya'll I had friends too. He's a police chief for the NY Housing Police that also owns a security company. And yes shockingly
, it's the same company that wants me arrested. Turns out he called the Inspector at my local precinct to put pressure on me. Ya know , have cops come down ask questions , threaten to file felony charges. Normally a case like this would never be pursued in a criminal manner, it would be a civil case (money). Even the cops mentioned that to me. Even they couldn't figure out why. At this point I'm starting to believe they might actually be on my side , because the truth is they're just following orders. One of the Sgt.'s said he had 3 dogs of his own that he rescued off the street.
The truth is coming out soon. That offer yesterday that I pay $5000 + an apology was flat out EXTORTION. Even the cops are figuring it out. $5000 for a $1200 dog. Smells fishy. Probably something like they'd think I would cave under threats of a felony, then I'd either give them the dog back or pay like $4000 and "Mr upstairs" gets a cut.
Another development is that when my "friend" (20 yr retired detective at the same precinct) approached the Inspector, (they are great friends btw) and asked him why I was getting harassed, he flat out told him that "Mr. Upstairs" had been calling him non-stop to pursue criminal charges vs. me. But "Mr. Upstairs" actually told him that I broke in the lot and stole the dog. Lie much? When the Inspector found out the whole story and the fact they were extorting me for $5000 , his tune soon changed. He said he never expected it to get this big and it's out of control now and last I heard he sent the cops out to investigate the Ford dealer on why they would ask for so much money.
Now the way I figure it's like this. A corrupt NYPD Housing Police Chief that runs a security company on the side and uses NYPD foot soldiers to do his dirty work , while keeping watch dogs in his lots in inhumane conditions. Wonder if the NY Daily News would be interested in a story like that?
We'll see what happens now. I'll probably be arrested for petty larceny. Both the Sgt and the Investigator guaranteed me that I won't be charged with a felony. It's a pretty big difference. Petty larceny is like shoplifting.
Should be another exciting day tomorrow.
