These crimes were committed by my local government officials. I have been denied the right to speak locally at a public forum. My case is complex and unprecedented. It is true that chemicals were used unlawfully on my property with intent to cause serious injury. The chemicals did cause serious injury. Had I not chosen to be forced to flee and remained on my private property I would have lost me life to the illegal intentional chemical exposure. This is nothing short of attempted murder. The motive for this enterprise of  local government officials to commit the criminal offenses they committed was at least in one case for personal financial gain. Mayor Dinwiddie had the opportunity to make a profit from a property he owned that was basically worthless. Worthless because the lot is a legally nonconforming property. The guidelines for redeveloping nonconforming lots are strict. Mayor Dinwiddie’s own statements at the council meetings prove he was aware of the written law and was a willing participant in violating the rights given to me. The other individuals that were in on violating the law and Federally protected rights from the beginning of the attack were, appointed building official/ Fire Chief/council member Mark Holland. on behalf of one person. One of them had to acquire my property. He illegally redeveloped the lot that he purchased from the mayor. With no regard to the State building code and drainage laws.  Illegal issued building permits by the city building official. He chose to build nonconforming structures. I complained after the second structure cause damage and loss of value of $10,000 to three undeveloped lots of my property. The building official refused his duty to address my concerns. He issued 3 more building permit after my complaint. When this neighbor went to have the redevelopment recorded on the county plat map he was denied. Too much square footage of structures for too little square footage of property. He determined the remedy was to acquire my property.  I had purchased my property in 1995. This property  provided my home and my livelihood. I operated an upholstery shop from that location.

The plot began by defaming my character by this neighbor’s brother who at the time was an officer for the County Sheriff’s dept. Soon after he was promoted to Detective. With that he knowingly made false statements that I was associated with illegal drug activity over the police radio. He was stalking me and if the truth were known I would bet that is the cause for this high ranking officer to retire and take a full time job driving a school bus.  Before long the entire community believed that I was going to be busted for illegal drug activity. Anyone with common sense would have realized that the drug task force does not leak any information of that type to the general public. I was never concerned of being busted for any illegal activity. Then defamation of my character was began by a family member, stating that I was crazy, this is the same person the detective was claiming I was associated with in the alleged illegal drug activity. I defended my property against the massive amount of storm water that was intentionally diverted onto my property from the illegal property redevelopment. This was foreseeable by a review of the blueprints by the city building official, required by the State before a permit is ever issued. When the neighbor began unlawfully applying toxic chemicals to my property I could not defend or defeat those. They took me from happy and healthy to a state of unable to function in a rapid time period. I suffered for five years believing at some point somebody would step up and protect my rights, they never did. Even in spite of a civil court order citing my right to enjoy my own property. This neighbor had no concern of ever being held accountable for his trespassing, his intent was to cause me physical harm or death. He was determined to acquire my property at any cost. He had to eliminate me. Evil has won so far.  I have always been one that will take the short end of the stick just to avoid confrontation. I do not have that mindset today. I feel like these criminals are going to get away with the brutal attack they made on me. I feel it is my duty take up arms against my oppressors, I have been more patient than any reasonable person could expect to be.

 I hired an attorney to sue the city for the nuisance drainage issue the redevelopment caused to my property, prior to the use of chemicals. There is a nuisance drainage ordinance that was ignored by the city and my attorney in my defense. He sent a letter of intent to the neighbor the following day. I hired him to sue the city as they are the libel party, he is the one who advised we would sue both the neighbor and the city, adding the city is where the money is at. I already knew that. That is why I hired him to sue the city. He never did anything in my behalf after the letter of intent. He never filed a complaint against the city. He never filed the injunction as he stated in the letter. He took my money the first day we met specifically to file the complaint against the city. that was in May. In Sept. i get served papers that the neighbor is suing me for, get this, loss of enjoyment of his property. Between the time my lawyer sent the letter of intent and I got served from the neighbor I developed the “rash”, my attorney knew about it. He advise he would file a counter for the drainage, when I handed him my list of witnesses his jaw about hit the floor, he stated “this witness list is compelling in itself” which I already knew. Throughout this time he assured me he did file the complaint against the city. I admit I was naive. I had never needed an attorney before. I requested the attorney to come to the location and review the situation. He declined, again with a snicker stating that he did not need to see it. I took that to mean he had this case in the bag, he definitely had the evidence.  In hindsight perhaps he declined looking at the situation because he is morbidly obese. He needed to set of three or four chairs in the courtroom. There are complaints filed against him by the ABA. A year later when got to court. The neighbor committed multiple counts of perjury, my attorney was well aware of this, he was also aware that the judge misquoted the testimony of his only witness. My witnesses all took the stand even though we all thought they would be testifying against the city. My attorney never asked one single question of any one of my compelling witnesses, not one. When the first witness stepped down from the stand I asked my attorney why didn’t he question him, his testimony was very relevant in regards to the existing berm that was illegally remove, increasing the storm water runoff. My attorney advised me that the judge uses his own common sense. Now I might be naive, but I am not ignorant. A person must be given relevant information to make a sound judgement. It was the final day of that civil case that I asked him “what about the city” he advised me with a “snicker” that he did not want that case any longer. No attorney is that incompetent and passed the bar exams. He clearly did not stand behind his oath to represent my best interest. He sent me a final bill for $4,000. I made a complaint against him to the bar assoc., they determined he had not misrepresented me, but he never sent me another bill. The fact that this neighbor offered me two out of court settlements, had they been submitted to the court, is evidence of admission of guilt. How often does a plaintiff offer out of court settlements to the defendant?

The judge in that case dismissed both complaints citing my “right to enjoy my own property”. He ordered that we split the court fees. I have never paid my half, hoping I would get a bench warrant and access to the judge again but I know that is not going to happen. My attorney did not submit the written affidavits or the photo evidence. I was advised by an online contact to go to the courthouse and see just what he did submit, he submitted nothing. I had the case covered against the city, the was no defense to the behavior these officials  displayed. My attorney did not have to do any leg work. I only needed someone to present it to a judge.

With the dismissal of his case against me the neighbor decided to get on the city council and use his position to continue his vendetta against me. This was  all planned, to allow this neighbor to acquire my property. The police chief did every he was told to do by this neighbor, not according to his duty to enforce the law. He was given the opportunity to resign with a good recommendation to the next department that hired him or be terminated within the year. I understand his resignation was related to ethical behavior. With the County Attorney actively conspiring against me the only option I have left to my knowledge is the FBI. I have contacted every agency, organization and individual I can find. All agree that I have been violated but none seem to have the authority to hold accountable. Senator Grassley has requested two congressional inquiries into my case, no Fed authority has ever reached out to me. I on my own have multiple times called the FBI only recently have I made any progress at all. An agent has agreed to meet with me to review my evidence, but every week he or I have had to canceled, last week he told me that it will be a couple more weeks before he can even consider having the time, I told him the evidence I have takes a good 12 hours to review. He advise that he has no intention of spending 12 hours reviewing my evidence. So how can you determine the status of a case without reviewing all the evidence? I ask myself. He had an attitude from the get go, He seems to have grasped some of what I have told him. I know that reality all the law enforcement have the blue line syndrome, to protect other officers. I have no expectations of anything coming from the half-ass review of my evidence.  The most recent act of conspiracy was in April when the newly elected sheriff told me that he went to city hall and WARNED the city clerk that an investigation was happening, I am not aware of any investigation happening. I asked him what she said and he told me that she told him she didn’t know what he was talking about. By the weekend the city’s webpage had been taken down. The web page contained all the council meeting minutes from 2005 to date. The sheriff conspired with the clerk to suppress evidence. He also told me his guys were investigating my allegations. I have heard no more from him. How much intelligence does it take see that document fraud has been committed by the city clerk, the forgery looks like a kindergarten did it. That is just one count of fraud she committed, do you have the link to my site https://poisonedbymyneighborfromhell.com  

I knew I was dying, the chemicals he used are lethal, he had been using chemicals on my property for a year before being elected to council. After that he assumed he had the authority to act as the position of street department director. He does not have that authority. The city doesn’t have insurance to cover anyone but the actual street dept. employees.  A neighbor two properties down contacted the EPA.  They only got involved because after he was elected to counsel he decided to apply chemicals to the city easement of my property. Not thinking about it being the point source of a creek that feeds into the Mississippi river. He has connections with the local agri supplier. They would not test our common boundary as I requested. I believe he used something they still had around that has been banned the first year. I believe that due the rapid effect it had on my health. I was disabled in the first year. His intent was to acquire my property. no holds barred. The police chief told me once that he did not want to make this neighbor mad by filing any complaint against him. I needed a trespassing complaint filed if I were to ever get protection from the law. What the heck kind of statement is that, afraid of this guy to the point that he can kill me with illegal application of chemicals? I don’t get it. What is so special about this guy, beside the fact that he is vindictive and an habitual liar? Not one person upheld the law in this case. The county attorney recently retired. I read something about the statue not starting until a violator has left his position, do you know anything about that. I have a limited formal education. I am an upholsterer for crying out loud. It is not my job to protect my rights it’s the job of the city and local police. Sorry but if someone will listen I am compelled to tell what I can squeeze in. Not one person has given me the opportunity to present my case. Only me and this neighbor know the entire story.

I contacted many reputable attorneys in Iowa since the first one threw me under the bus. All agree that I have a case. All had the same reason for not taking my case. They simply do not have time to dedicated to such a complex and unprecedented case. I understand that, but I do not and will not be the only victim in this situation. I have been as patient as anyone can expect. On behalf of my dad I can not let them get away with this. I will do what I feel necessary to expose this enterprise of criminals. Please share with any contact that may have a contact, I really do not want to take the law into my own hands. I want the system to do their job. I am losing hope that will happen. No person has ever been subject to intentional chemical exposure. The law of trespassing has prevented this from happening to anyone else. This is typical to my life. I have been bullied my entire life. This was so significant I cannot simply walk away. Do you understand how I can feel this way?The current county attorney along with several other experts have advised me that this is a case for the FBI.

The city clerk has a conflict of interest. The storm water management manual is put out by FEMA, her husband is the County Fema officer, He would have been the expert for me to go to when the city failed to enforce the nuisance drainage ordinance against this neighbor. But due to the conflict of interest I got an expert opinion from the Lee County Extension officer Robert Dodds. Mr. Dodds came to the location, took photos and wrote me a letter answering my questions, he also sent a copy of the letter along with the storm water drainage laws to Mayor Dinwiddie. It was Robert Dodds who noticed that no fee was charged to this well-connected neighbor for his illegal building permit. I noticed that the building official issued and approved the permit and he signed it, however it was missing the most relevant thing that alleviates the city’s liability, the builder’s signature. Mr. Dodds happened to live in Montrose to, I did not know that until he came to the house that day. He came out of professional courtesy. The building official had the duty to address my concerns and stated to a council member that he had no intention of addressing my concerns. You are familiar with legally nonconforming properties right? They have very strict rule when it comes to redeveloping those properties. This guy was completely allowed to disregard any rules, he built a two-story garage oversize to the degree he altered the direction of the roof surface so that it diverted all storm water directly onto my property. You are required by law to divert storm water to the city drainage ditches, that is the standard procedure whether we are talking about typical or nonconforming property. He never installed drain tile around the slab. I was told that the reason he was building such an over sized nonconforming structure was because he intended to build a living quarters in the upper level. The next spring there was a suspicious fire, that destroyed the small existing double-wide mobile home. I called the State arson hotline. But when the Fire chief is also the building official what are the results going to be? He was issued a permit to build an over sized new home, again both of his structures are illegal. The new home he also had to squeeze onto the property, he altered the roof with this structure also to divert all storm water onto my property. He illegally removed an existing berm, regraded his lot so that all storm water from his entire lot diverted onto my property. All of this is illegal. The permits are illegal. The building official continued to issue three more building  permits to this guy who is above the law. In fact when I first notified the building official that there was a problem with the drainage it was not the city building officials who arrived at his house, it was his brother, a detective for the Lee County Sheriff’s office. This detective has no authority to act as anything in the City of Montrose, he has no jurisdiction in the city. He sure has no authority to act as the building officials. That amounts to a conspiracy as defined by law. I have no authority to prosecute criminal offenses. When Mr. Dodds sent the letter referring to why he was charged $97.00 for a permit for a garden shed, he questioned why this neighbor was charged no fee for the permit for his new home, not to mention the lack of the builder’s signature. The following year the Mayor never ran for election. He began building a beautiful new home on the riverfront. He was the Mayor for 8 terms. He sold this property adjoining mine and hauled butt on my complaint. Not that he was ever considering actually managing the building official to do his job and remedy the drainage issue caused by the illegal redevelopment. This neighbor suspiciously was elected to council. This needs to be investigated as I do not believe the timeline for being a candidate was enforced.

My only duty for a remedy to the drainage was to report the nuisance drainage issue to the building official. Knowing that the previous Mayor most likely did not forward my complaint to the new Mayor I again went to the city council meeting to address this drainage issue again. The neighbor newly elected council member should have been excused to leave the room due to my complaint being about him, but that did not happen. I mentioned to the council that the building permit for the new home showed no fee had been charged. The neighbor sitting as a council member and the building official at the same time spoke up and stated there was a fee paid for that building permit. I knew at that moment document fraud had occurred. A person does not need a degree in criminal justice to figure this situation our. A need for common sense is required. The next day when I knew the clerk was at lunch I went down to city hall and got a copy of the permit that was now on file. Sure enough to contradict the information Mr. Dodds had mentioned in his letter about no fee was charged there was now a fee amount shown on the permit. It looks like a kindergarten did it. It is a criminal offense however and I do not have the authority to prosecute criminal offenses. My point is why should these people not be criminally prosecuted by the justice system for their criminal offenses? The clerk committed multiple counts of fraud on behalf of this well-connected neighbor/council member. Generally civil cases come after criminal cases, such as OJ Simpson for an example. The use of chemicals was intentional to cause me serious injury. The evidence leaves no doubt about that, it is a fact. That is defined as terrorist acts by law. A Federal agent should be anxious to investigate a case alleging public corruption since it is listed as a high priority for the DOJ. I may be wrong but it takes a prosecuting attorney to file criminal complaints against citizens, doesn’t it. Perhaps that’s the reason no attorney would respond. There were attorneys interested due to the detection of Roundup but I had to be diagnosed with cancer or dead first. They were interested in suing Monsanto. If given the opportunity to present my evidence to a higher authority they would know that I had no authority to do anything to stop this criminal enterprise. They conspired to violated my rights in every way. They used chemicals to acquire my property. For crying out loud how can that be acceptable and not deprivation of rights under color of law. I am not skilled in presenting information with computer programs, the slideshows I put together are pretty good in understanding I have been told. Did you have the opportunity to view them? You do understand in summary all my asset are gone. I was blind until 2012 when I was accepted for disability and was able to have my vision restored through Medicaid program. Three of my undeveloped lots lost a value of over $10.000 do to the drainage.You are not allowed to do anything to your property that causes a neighboring property to lose value, that is illegal.

My credit rating was 760 prior to the intentional chemical exposure. I did the Suzie Orman thing. I practiced preventive medicine. I had enough saved to last me six months without income. I had a successful self-employed business that I operated in the workshop that I customized just for upholstery work. I did everything according to Hoyle. Now I live on $730.00 p/mo. I had my property paid in full. I have to pay rent out of my monthly check. There is nothing right about what they put me through. It was torture.  He could not have accomplished this without the assistance of these local city and county officials. The evidence supports Conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under of law.
