On 8-26-25 a special meeting was held to discuss the hiring of a new police chief. I spoke at about 10 minutes, 52 minutes, and 1 hour 23 minutes in. The 8-26-25 meeting was streamed and you can view it here.
I spoke at council meeting on April 1 also, just two days after Lewiston officers breached my door. Here is a link to the meeting minutes, in which I'm mentioned on page 1 and 3.
On July 15, I spoke again; and I handed the chief of police, David St. Pierre, my complaint. Those minutes haven't been posted yet, said the new city administrator Bryan Kaenrath, who is a former legislator and was mayor of Waterville. He said the meeting on July 15, lasted 8 hours and that was why it was taking so long to approve and post the minutes. As there was a warrant for my arrest at the time, I left immediately after I gave St. Pierre my complaint. Today I found the Youtube video of the 7-15-25 meeting. I speak at 2:41 seconds into the meeting; we were there longer but the council had gone into executive session prior to that and the recording was paused.
In my complaint, I claim that Lewiston police on March 24 and 30 of 2025 acted on warrants that were based on false claims. Nonetheless, the next morning, July 16 St. Pierre sent officers to my apartment building to arrest me. I wasn't home; Pete called to tell me, and I turned myself in the next afternoon...my freedom costing me $560.
The arrest warrant in Lincoln County was issued after I failed to appear for my arraignment on June 12 on charges of stalking and violation of a protection order. I called the court on June 11 to report that I was unable to appear due to an obstruction in my eye that happened while Pete and I were removing a bush at our property in Saint Agatha. Also eye drops that I had started using had caused much irritation in both eyes.
At the meeting last night I mentioned the threat I had received from a tenant in Aroostook County last summer, and how Lewiston officers did not consider the message to be a threat when it clearly was. Finally I asked for accountability, and new ways to handle protection from abuse orders. I mentioned that alienation of good people from children's lives may be contributing to child abuse and neglect in Maine.
