Statement of Arrest; November 26, 2005 - Andy


On the evening of November 25, 2005 OPP Officer Moore arrived alone and had entered our home at 53 Sprucedale Ave in the town of Cardiff, Ontario and arrested me. He stated that since I refused mediation with Mr. Young he had to arrest me. (I did not feel that mediation with Mr. Young was in my or my wife's best interest for safety reasons or legally in my best interest because charges were pending again Mr. Young for criminal trespass, vandalism and continual death threats.) I tried to explain to Officer Moore I was ill and had taken sleeping pills; I asked could we please to this tomorrow. Officer Moore raised his voice, saying no you are going now. I got my boots on and presented my hands, hoping he would hand cuff me with my hands in front, instead of behind my back. I had been knocked to the ground in a logging mishap a while ago; I'm still sore on the right side. I presented my hand this way when I presented myself for arrest at the police station the 6 days earlier knowing that I would not be doing mediation with Mr. Young. He then asked if I had a gun or a bow. I said yes I have a cross bow but it does not work. He said get it. I did. Noel got her long bow. He wanted the arrows or as he said bolts which we did not have here. He asked where the drawstring was. I said it doesn't have one. Officer Moore then took them outside. I went into the bathroom to take some Tylenol 1's. I heard Noel ask if she would be getting it back (her long bow) , Officer Moore said yes (I take that to be a promise).

I was co operative even gesturing to open the police car door. I wanted to get going, it is bad for business being arrested. Officer Moore then turned on the inside car light, I covered my eyes. Light hurts my eyes when I'm in pain with a bad headache. We sat in the driveway for what seemed like an eternity. In shame (unwarranted) I crossed my arms and lowered my head. I stayed this way most of the night, unless Officer Moore ordered otherwise. (See video footage from the two incarcerations at the police station) Officer Moore asked me if I wanted a lawyer. I clearly said no. Officer Moore raised his voice. Said I asked you if you wanted a lawyer?? I said NO THANK YOU. A lawyer that helped me once before told me what to do if I was ever arrested. (Sign the papers, be polite and keep my mouth shut.)

Officer Moore quickly arrived at the police station. He ordered me to follow him. We entered a painted cinder-block room. He ordered me to remove my boots, coat and empty my pockets; I did just that. I had no cash, only two Tylenol #1's and some chapstick. Officer Moore then asked me again if I wanted to call a lawyer, I said no. He ordered me into the cage. I entered and sat on the floor, sitting in a manner to shield my eyes from the bright lights. Later he returned, to take pictures of me. He then fingered printed me. Told me to wash my hands. I did, I then cleaned the sink counter where cleaning fluid and water spilled. I stepped back. He then stated that I had to be printed again, for the RCMP. I submitted again washed up and cleaned the counter again. He then ordered me back into the cage. I sat in the same place in the same protective manner. Officer Moore again left. Later he returned and released me from the jail cell.

I was ordered to sign papers. I glanced at them and did as I was told.

Officer Moore gave me conditions for my release. He stated that if I even wave at Mr. Young I would be locked up. As Officer Moore knows, I was raped over a two year period when I was 12, being locked in a cage with men who don't respect the laws of our land scared the hell out of me, hence I will not break laws. (This is a point of great fear and ongoing worry and stress for my lovely spouse and myself) I'm going to show some of my cards to the Crown so that this point can be cleared up. Mr Young has publicly insinuated that I broke into his home and stole his hero's of the Third Reich stamp collection. Honest I didn't and would never do such a thing for several reasons. I would like Judge Hunter, to tell me, Andy even though a provincial court judge made your little survivor organization possible, and even though you have done everything you said you would do (so far), a neo-Nazi who calls you fag and Jew boy and was selling drugs to kids has more credibility than you. I'm merely a victim of childhood abuse that has dedicated his life to stopping the ongoing tragedy. I don't feel that is reasonable in our great country. I'm afraid to leave my home, because as it stands Mr. Young simply can say Andy waved at me, and Officer Moore will respond by locking me up! I must spend hundreds of dollars in equipment and lose thousands of dollars in lost wages and then wait weeks after providing proof of Mr. young's crimes - only to be arrested and charged with an indictable offence. The police tell me get a video camera and spotlight. Then they arrest me for installing that light because Mr. Young complains that it bothers him because he can't vandalize my property under the cover of darkness. It's blind luck that I did not install a camera as some of the officers attending to our house had suggested. Officer Dickson or Moore (the story changed) conducted an illegal search the day after the attempted arson looking for a video camera. I had closed the garage doors the night of the attempted arson and my wife found the larger garage door half open the next morning when we went outside. I feel because of this that there is collusion between Officers Moore and Dickson and Mr. Young. My wife had asked Officer Dickson when he phoned a day or two later if Mr. Young or the police had been in our garage the day after the incident. He told her it was Officer Moore and he thought it occurred that night. My wife and I both know that is not the case and we had secured the garage. Officer Dickson has dirty hands.

Officer Moore has advised me to move, my wife and I were truly shocked. Now I'm just hoping to leave Ontario with my life and wife. I have put the house on the market, the real estate agent said get a small loan and fix it up. I was in the process of refinancing so I could do that. Now because of charges I would have to lie on the loan application, I will not break the law. I will have to lose about $20,000 to get out of this town where I have been continually harassed by my neighbour, Mr. Young. I pay my bills, the bank will help. I need to deal with this situation now. Noel's birthday is on Xmas I can't even share a bottle of our homemade chokecherry wine with her, let alone buy her the gifts she derserves for helping Survivors.

Please help speed up the wheels of justice, before we get crushed by them.
