The following was posted on 8-21-25, though the 8-26-25 meeting had yet to happen. The reason for that is that I started a post on that day intending to insert the meeting minutes from July 15, but they weren't approved until September 2. Then I went back to that blank post and wrote about the meeting of 8-26-25.
I've been arrested two more times since then, on September 2 and October 8. The last warrant was sealed; and when I tried to resist, police called my landlord and he gave them access. I recently posted the list of the charges I am facing which were recently sent to me by the attorney who was court-appointed to me after the district attorney, Kent Murdick, wanted to jail me for about a month for violations of bail conditions which were an unlawful violation of my right to free speech.
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 made public comment, and I handed the chief of police, David St. Pierre, my complaint. The new city administrator, Bryan Kaenrath, 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 recording was stopped.
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 $560.
The arrest warrant in Lincoln County was issued on June 12 after I failed to appear for my arraignment; I'm being charged with 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 two weeks earlier had caused much irritation in both eyes.
At the meeting 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.
