ORANGE COUNTY SHOULD STOP WASTING TAXPAYER MONEY PROTECTING A ROGUE, DIRTY COP
On July 7, 2007, Laguna Niguel resident Toy White, a beautiful, petite 5'1" blonde was beaten down in her home by a posse of Orange County sheriff deputies. Leading the pack was dogcatcher Harold Holmes. The dirty, ugly facts can be read in depth here. Download file
Today, the City of Mission Viejo settled Mrs. White's claims against City based on the dogcatcher's unlawful actions. Holmes' part in the ruckus was his insistence that Mrs. White relinquish her dog to him for quarantine even though the dog had its rabies shots, and the dog qualified for home quarantine.
Holmes burst into the house to take the dog, and four sheriff deputies burst in behind him, threw Mrs. White to the ground causing her serious injury, handcuffed her, arrested her for resisting arrest and battery on an officer, sent her to jail where she was strip searched, and caused her to be prosecuted.
Once the DA got the full picture, the DA dropped the charges.
But why isn't the County of Orange taking responsibility? Why? It was the cops who beat this tiny cosmetics rep into the ground in her own house. It was the cops who had her wrongfully prosecuted, having trumped up false charges to cover their dirty acts.
And the piece de resistence is that we've all heard about one of the dirty cops. Allan Waters. Ring a bell? Remember the rash of news stories about how a Sheriff's deputy let a raging drunk Waters drive home after a vehicle stop, only to have Walters hit another car head on, sending the elderly occupant to the hospital? Read about it HERE.
Yeah, that's our boy, Allan Waters. In his spare time, when he's not drinking, he's beating up 5'1" blonde cosmetic executives.
Well, he not only beat up little Toy White, he beat up another guy. That guy's name is Robert Isaac. Lo and Behold, Waters busted into Isaacs house, too, causing him injury. And guess what, the County of Orange is defending this cop who is on administrative leave and is pending two really serious civil rights suits.
Attorney Steve Ehrlich from Orange County represents the plaintiff in the Isaac beat down. I represent Mrs. White in the White beat down.
The County of Orange taxpayers are paying two high-priced lawfirms maybe $200 per hour to represent this dirty cop on two separate cases. How many tens of thousands of dollars will the taxpayers be forced to spend on the lawfirm of Sullivan & Ballog, who represents Waters in my case, and the firm of Lawrence, Beach, Allen & Choy in the Isaac beat down case. I guarantee you that by the end of both of these litigations, the County of Orange will have well exceeded $100,000 in attorney fees and litigations costs defending a dirty cop.
It's sickening. The taxayers should stand up and say "We're madder than hell and we're not going to take it any more." They should send the high-priced civil attorneys packing, along with their crummy client. Protect little elderly people from being smashed to smithereens by this drunkard Waters. Protect nice, law abiding cosmetic executives from being attacked in their houses by Waters. Protect whomever from whenever they run into Waters.
