NH AG’s Office, Delaney & Tracy covering up SECRET CASH TRANSACTION between Chief of Police Gary Phillips & Subordinate Officer Eric Ammann?

AG’s office helps cover up one Public Official giving another Public Official money in exchange for favors? A BRIBE?

It was reported to the AG’s office, Gary Phillips, Chief gave Eric Ammann of NH State Police money from his own pocket in exchange for Ammann to come work for him full time.

Why is the AG’s office doing nothing about our corrupt NH Cops?

An investigation? Or a cover up?

Does the AG’s Office put the community and the general public at risk by ignoring reports about corrupt practices of our public officials?

A seasoned law enforcement official and criminal investigator for the NH Attorney General’s Office, Richard (Dick) Tracy, gives a wishy-washy explanation about Phillips lame-ass excuse for how Eric Ammann came to have this extra money in exchange for coming to the WPD full time.

Tracy reports, Phillips begged Ammann to come work for him at the WPD and he gave Ammann a personal check, drawn on his own personal account in exchange for doing so.

Phillips admits to Tracy it was $2,000.

Instead of asking Phillips how Ammann got the money, who gave him the money and who wrote the check he did nothing to find out exactly where the money came from, Tracy blows over that little detail.

Something to hide?

Instead of asking for a copy of the check – an easy way to figure out where the money came from, he didn’t bother.

According to Tracy, he drove 1 ½ to 2 hours to go all the way to Winchester for a face to face interview with Phillips and according to his report, couldn’t get an answer to the question – WAS the payout part of salary or did it come from Phillips himself?

Makes no sense does it? Why bother wasting the taxpayer’s money if you don’t want to look in the cave after you spend your time and gas money driving to it?

Tracy, you could have stayed in Concord and summoned Phillips up there for all the nothing you accomplished.

When is the NH Attorney General's office going to finally admit that they can't hide the corruption anymore and that they have bad cops in the State of NH they refuse to deal with while putting the public at risk?

And what about the Town of Winchester and the officials running the Town who knew about this?

Phillips admitted giving Ammann money, Ammann has said he got a check from Phillips personal account and NOT FROM THE TOWN OF WINCHESTER, in exchange for him agreeing to immediately come to work at the WPD at the time the offer was presented.

Hmmmmmmmm. If it smells like a bribe???? What else can you call it? Read the RSA on Corruption and Bribes. See copy of document.

From Tracy’s report: “Approximately 2 years ago, Eric Ammann was working as a full time dispatcher for the NH State Police and a part time officer with Winchester. He had been trying to land a full time position as a police officer but was not able to pass the physical test. Chief Phillips approached Ammann and asked him to work full time with the department in the hopes that Ammann would eventually pass the PT test in the near future. Ammann was reluctant to do so noting that he needed the full time benefits that he had with State Police. Reportedly the Chief gave Ammann $1,500.00 out of his own pocket if Ammann would take a full time position with his department.” Open link to see copy of document.

Phillips tells him: “A few years back Eric expressed his desire to work full time as a police officer, Winchester, was short handed having lost two officers to Hinsdale PD with a third officer out on workman comp everyone was working more overtime than they cared to. Phillips approached Eric who was working as a full time police dispatcher reference working at Winchester on a full time basis. Eric was hesitant to do that as he would lose benefits that he had with the state. Philips offered Eric $2,000 bonus to offset the loss. Phillips noted that he was desperate at the time, his officers were working more hours than they should and he feared for their safety from being overtired. Eric would accept the Chief’s offer…..” Open link to see copy of document.

Tracy’s Summary of the reported crime: “The Chief paid Ammann $1,500 dollar to take a job with the department. That allegation shocked Chief Phillips. First the Chief doesn’t understand how that would benefit him or the department. Secondly the Chief pointed out that Ammann is a local guy who the Chief feels would fit in real well with the community and the department. Phillips assisted Ammann with getting a membership at the local gym. Phillips stated that around two years ago his department was shorthanded. Everyone was working additional hours, which became a safety concern for the Chief. He approached Ammann requesting that he work full time for the PD instead of part time. Ammann a dispatcher with the NHSP was concerned with losing his benefits. Phillips offered Ammann a $2,000 bonus to help offset the cost of benefits he would lose if he came to work for full time for Winchester.” Open link to see copy of document.

The benefit to Phillips, in case Tracy missed some training classes on the way up to Concord, is that Phillips gets to keep his job and doesn’t get booted out on his ass.

What more did Tracy need? Phillips admits offering Ammann $2,000 and instead Tracy PLAYS WITH his OWN WORDS, figuring people won’t or are too stupid to catch on, “Philips offered Eric $2,000 bonus to offset the loss” and that “Eric would accept the Chief’s offer”.

He offered the money, Ammann accepted the pay off and started working fulltime for Phillips.

Headlines the AG's is afraid of. Extra, Extra, Read all about it.............  

“Chief of Police gives his personal money to a subordinate officer in exchange for that officer having to meet conditions he set forth such as coming to work for him at the PD!”

And,

“By-passes the Town approved budgets for police officers salaries by admitting to propping up the salary of one of them by going outside the scope of how employees at the Town of Winchester are paid!”

Is that what the AG’s office is afraid of? Afraid of the headlines that don’t make them look good?

Phillips and his cronies need to be reminded of who pays their salaries.

Was this exchange of money reported to the Internal Revenue Service and State of NH, so that the proper amount of taxes and pension were paid?

What about a 1099? Did Phillips provide Ammann with a 1099?

Why can’t NH citizens get the AG's to do a proper investigations of our elected and appointed official’s misdeeds? Has the NH AG’s office and Delaney turned it’s back on all of NH or just Winchester, NH and the honest and decent people who live here?

Are we left to fend for ourselves and wait for more harm to come to the citizenry of this town? More lawsuits, more injuries and more scandals?

The AG’s office could have and should have applied for search warrants of both Phillips and Ammann’s financial records when Tracy first learned money passed hands between Phillips and Ammann? Why didn’t Delaney order this be done and why hasn’t it been done? They have the power.

The AG’s office, Delaney, Tracy et al, can’t keep standing behind the wall and saying there is no evidence any crimes being committed by our NH Police Force when they refuse to get the evidence that exists that proves crimes are committed.

When Tracy got to Winchester he knew that Phillips and Roberts were being investigated for bank fraud. Couldn’t he put 2 and 2 together?

Isn’t presenting fake documents and fraudulent information to a bank, regardless of the reason or excuse, illegal? Criminal? Against the Law? Something Prosecutor’s prosecute people for? Something the Police charge people with? Something people go to jail for?

I don't recall seeing a PS at the end of the NH Criminal Statute with a bunch of but if's or because this or because that.

It doesn't matter anyway, the AG’s office find them in violation. And since they were in violation of the by-laws, why weren’t they found to be in violation of the criminal laws?

Let’s see – bet the AG’s said we’ll just tell ‘em we just don’t think it wasn’t intentional, then we don’t have to do anything, we can close the case.

Or maybe they said that they’re just a little confused about the laws and didn’t realize that they had to follow the laws too, they thought the laws .

Another get out of jail free card? Why did the AG’s office let them off the hook on that one? 

Were they looking the other way and pretending none of it ever happened?

If the police can be bought and sold so easily out in the open in broad daylight, what are they doing behind the closed doors we never find out about? How can we trust or believe anything they say?

Tracy didn’t follow through on information he was given and that information, was information that he could have easily substantiated what Phillips did was WRONG and ILLEGAL. Why not? Why didn’t he? Because he doesn’t have to? Not a valid excuse. It’s up to the AG Office to police the police. That’s one of their jobs.

Phillips had a BIG PR problem. Phillips also has a BIG EGO PROBLEM.

He didn’t want the word to get out that his police department was in shambles due to his mismanagement, he could lose his job if he were to be found an incompetent. Lose his job, his benefits, his paycheck. MOTIVE to BREAK the LAW?

Emails from the Town show the money didn’t come in a payroll check. Tracy should have done his job and asked this one simple questions from Town Hall.

Email to the Town dated 10/23/10:

“It is my understanding that when Eric Ammann was hired fulltime at the Winchester Police Department, the Town paid him a substantial sign on bonus.”
“Can you tell me specifically how much this additional salary cost the taxpayers?”
“I would also like to analyze the line item that shows this money being paid to him.”
“Who authorized this sign on bonus? Was this done by Selectmen’s vote? If so, can you tell me at what BOS meeting this vote took place during?”
Also, how much did Fred Ziegler or any of the other new police officers get for sign on bonuses and what line item was to record them?” Open link to see copy of document.

Email back to Morel dated 10/29/10.

“I appreciate you getting back to me on this, but this information doesn’t make sense. I have come across public records where Gary Phillips stated he offered Eric a $2,000.00 sign on bonus, to offset his lose in benefits to go to the WPD full-time and that Eric accepted that offer.”

Email dated 11/8/10, Morel writes back:
“This is written in response to both of your concerns, namely the gym memberships and sign-on bonus.”

“As explained in my email of 10/28/10, the Finance Department has looked into the financial, payroll and personnel files regarding your sign-on requests, and has reported back that the Town of Winchester has not authorized any sign-on bonuses for any member of the Police Department and there is no line item for this.”

In a response back to Morel in an email dated 11/10/10 which can be seen at the above link.

“Specifically, how much did the town pay for Eric Ammann’s gym membership or reimbursement, to whom it was paid and when was it paid.”

The response from Morel on 11/10/10.

“Your request does not stipulate any particular governmental record, only questions to be answered. However, if you are referring to documentation regarding this request, the cost of three (3) pages copied is $1.50. Please remit that amount to the Town, and copies will be provided to you”.

Then in yet another email dated 11/9/10 the Town is again asked, this time from a different requestor of information and is as follows:

“Have the selectmen authorized or approved any bonuses for Eric Amman? If so what are the dates and amounts of these bonuses?”

“Have the selectmen authorized or approved any payments or reimbursements to Eric Ammann for the purpose of a gym membership?”

“Have any of the WPD employees or any other members of the Town’s employees been reimbursed or approved to receive any monetary or monetary equivalents above their budgeted salary and benefits as outlined in the budget?”

"If so, who made the authorizations? Were any votes taken and if so when? If so who received the benefit, date and purpose of benefit and what budget lines are these items charged to?” Open link below to see copy of document.

Response from Morel on 11/10/10:

“Your request does not stipulate any particular governmental record, only questions to be answered. However, if you are referring to documentation regarding this request, the cost is .50 per page.”

“Requests about Eric Amman are reasonably described, and the three (3) pages will be copied for you at a cost of $1.50. Please remit that amount to the Town, and copies will be provided to you”

“Please be more specific about the rest of your questions so that we may estimate the cost involved and be of assistance to you.”

Was this more preferential treatment that Eric Ammann received, in the form of additional income, beyond what he got from Phillips? Was this additional income included by the Town when they reported his wages and earnings to the State and Federal Governments and to the retirement system?

The responses pretty well substantiate that the money that Ammann received for coming to the WPD full time didn’t come from the taxpayers, which substantiates the fact that the money did come from an outside source and gives credence to Ammann stating it came from Phillips personally. Which was exactly what was reported to the AG’s office and precisely what Phillips was questioned on by the AG’s office, to which Phillips admitted to Tracy he did in fact offer money to Ammann and that Ammann accepted that offer. This all acknowledged by the AG’s office in it’s own report that Phillips said he offered Ammann $2,000 and Ammann accepted the offer.

So in nutshell –

1.Phillips asked Ammann to come to the WPD to work full time.
2.Ammann said NO, he couldn’t afford to because of some benefit he was getting from SP.
3.Phillips, instead of taking "NO" for an answer, offered Ammann $2,000 out of his own pocket to cover that loss if he agrees to immediately sign on with Winchester.
4. Ammann agrees to accept the new offer under the new terms and takes the $2,000 personal check from Phillips and immediately goes full time at the WPD.
5. Down the road, Ammann confesses to other officers about the incident and circumstances who in turn report the bribe.
6. The AG’s gets involved when they are made aware of the allegation, they question Phillips and Phillips admits to giving Ammann a $2,000 bonus and also admits that Ammann accepted it.
7. According to Tracy's report, Reppucci gets questioned and he tells Tracy he was told the money came from Phillips personally and not from the Town.
8. Tracy does nothing further. He doesn’t even question Ammann.

So the original allegation made against Phillips of questionable and illegal activity Phillips had engaged in when he offered his personal money to persuade a public official, Ammann, to come work for him has been established as an allegation based on truth and facts and that indeed money changed hands between the two of them for their own selfish gain.

Phillips is of questionable character.

He has the propensity (tendency, inclination) to be a liar. So much so that anything he does say is questionable.

Moammar Phillips?

TITLE LXII CRIMINAL CODE

CHAPTER 640 CORRUPT PRACTICES

Section 640:2

640:2 Bribery in Official and Political Matters.

I. A person is guilty of a class B felony if:
a) He, promises, offers, or gives any pecuniary benefit to another with the purpose of influencing the other's action, decision,…or other exercise of discretion as a public servant, …
b) Being a public servant, party official, candidate for electoral office, or voter, he solicits, accepts or agrees to accept any pecuniary benefit from another knowing or believing the other's purpose to be as described in subparagraph I(a), or fails to report to a law enforcement officer that he has been offered or promised a pecuniary benefit in violation of subparagraph I(a).

II. .. the following definitions apply:
(a) "Public servant" means any officer or employee of the state or any political subdivision thereof, including judges, legislators, consultants, jurors, and persons otherwise performing a governmental function. A person is considered a public servant upon his election, appointment or other designation as such, although he may not yet officially occupy that position. A person is a candidate for electoral office upon his public announcement of his candidacy.
(c) "Pecuniary benefit" means any advantage in the form of money, property, commercial interest or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic gain; it does not include economic advantage applicable to the public generally, such as tax reduction or increased prosperity generally.
Source. 1971, 518:1, eff Nov. 1, 1973.

RSA 640:2 pretty well confirms that Phillips committed a class B felony when he promised, offered and gave Ammann a pecuniary benefit, in this case cash from his own pocket with the promise of a full time position with the WPD. Cash given for the sole purpose of influencing Ammann’s decision to immediately quit his job with State Police to come work for the him after Ammann told him he could not financially afford to immediately quit State Police and go to work at Winchester full time.

Another words Phillips cash payout is a cash bribe?

But one has to guess the Prosecutors decided not to prosecute, how convenient for all. And yeah, it's true, they don't like it when people get in their faces about it.

Under the same RSA Ammann committed a class B felony when he, being a public servant accepted and agreed to accept a monetary benefit from Phillips knowing that Phillips purpose for doing so was to sway Ammann to agree to be hired immediately. To make matters worse, Ammann, a sworn police officer who worked part time for 10 years and knew or should have known the statues, was obligated under the statute to report to a law enforcement officer that he has been offered or promised a pecuniary benefit in violation of the law.

Or, to be put into simple terms even Phillips and Tracy hope you don’t understand, Phillips offered him a cash bribe to come to work for Winchester immediately and Ammann accepted it. Amman then kept quiet about for almost a year and half. He finally told other officer who in turn reported the bribe. The crime was then “officially” reported, but again not by Ammann. Up until now it’s been kept a pretty quiet secret and little was known about the truth surrounding the entire events. The story has now been opened up for public view.

Know Yor Rights...When Civil Rights "Color of Law" Abuses Occur Contact the FBI.......Because Color of Law Abuses Are Crimes!!!

Contact The FBI When Those In Authority Violate Your Rights........... it’s a federal crime for anyone acting under “color of law” willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. “Color of law” simply means that the person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state, or federal government agency.  

For more information and to file a complaint with the FBI, go to the FBI's Website:
  
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/color_of_law

Color of Law Abuses ARE Crimes.

U.S. law enforcement officers and other officials like judges, prosecutors, and security guards have been given tremendous power by local, state, and federal government agencies—authority they must have to enforce the law and ensure justice in our country. These powers include the authority to detain and arrest suspects, to search and seize property, to bring criminal charges, to make rulings in court, and to use deadly force in certain situations.

Preventing abuse of this authority, however, is equally necessary to the health of our nation’s democracy. That’s why it’s a federal crime for anyone acting under “color of law” willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. “Color of law” simply means that the person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state, or federal government agency.

The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating color of law abuses, which include acts carried out by government officials operating both within and beyond the limits of their lawful authority. Off-duty conduct may be covered if the perpetrator asserted his or her official status in some way.

Most of these crimes fall into five broad areas:

Excessive force;
Sexual assaults;
False arrest and fabrication of evidence;
Deprivation of property; and
Failure to keep from harm.

Excessive force: In making arrests, maintaining order, and defending life, law enforcement officers are allowed to use whatever force is “reasonably” necessary. The breadth and scope of the use of force is vast—from just the physical presence of the officer…to the use of deadly force. Violations of federal law occur when it can be shown that the force used was willfully “unreasonable” or “excessive.”

Sexual assaults by officials acting under color of law can happen in jails, during traffic stops, or in other settings where officials might use their position of authority to coerce an individual into sexual compliance. The compliance is generally gained because of a threat of an official action against the person if he or she doesn’t comply.

False arrest and fabrication of evidence: The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right against unreasonable searches or seizures. A law enforcement official using authority provided under the color of law is allowed to stop individuals and, under certain circumstances, to search them and retain their property. It is in the abuse of that discretionary power—such as an unlawful detention or illegal confiscation of property—that a violation of a person’s civil rights may occur.

Fabricating evidence against or falsely arresting an individual also violates the color of law statute, taking away the person’s rights of due process and unreasonable seizure. In the case of deprivation of property, the color of law statute would be violated by unlawfully obtaining or maintaining a person’s property, which oversteps or misapplies the official’s authority.

The Fourteenth Amendment secures the right to due process; the Eighth Amendment prohibits the use of cruel and unusual punishment. During an arrest or detention, these rights can be violated by the use of force amounting to punishment (summary judgment). The person accused of a crime must be allowed the opportunity to have a trial and should not be subjected to punishment without having been afforded the opportunity of the legal process.

Failure to keep from harm: The public counts on its law enforcement officials to protect local communities. If it’s shown that an official willfully failed to keep an individual from harm, that official could be in violation of the color of law statute.

Is the day coming that, Phillips, the Chief in Winchester will be in the headlines?

Blatantly lying to law enforcement officials and the public. Is it only a matter of time before his goose too gets cooked and then makes the news in a big way?

He’s law enforcement after all, and shouldn’t he be held accountable for his actions too?

And his second, Lt. Roberts helped him pull it off.

Old news? Perhaps. Still relevant? You betcha.

Phillips whose stories ramble on in a seemingly pathological liar way, has on numerous occasions given deliberately false, misleading, fake and untruthful information to the AG’s office and to other Town and State Agencies in an effort to conceal his actions, as if that is a defense and/or has made excuses for his participation in illegal activity, when he’s been caught in the act.

For some reason, the following actions, brought to the attention of the AG’s office have thus far protected Phillips.

The following information comes from one or more of the many reports and investigations conducted, including those conducted by the AG’s office itself, down in the town of Winchester, NH.

Of interest, the AG’s office and the other criminal investigative reports never reveal or disclose that the allegations are lies and those that brought them forward were either misinformed or lying themselves, instead they skirt around that issue and try to explain away Phillips justification for his crimes, as if that really matters.

1.) Stories such as that of Phillips and NH State Dispatcher, Eric Ammann - money changing hands, money coming from Phillips own pocket and going to Ammann's pocket, in an action that is nothing less than a bribe. What other bribes has he been involved with? On the following links you can find the truth along with the reports and documents that support the truth. Documents from the town that show Phillips lied to the AG’s. Documents from the AG’s office, with statements from Phillips made to the AG’s investigator, Tracy, that contradict both the allegations made against Phillips, the Town’s policy, the Town’s acknowledgement the money didn't come from the Town and that which Phillips told the AG’s office which was in fact true, he offered Amman money and Ammann accepted.

From the Ag’s report:

The alleged crime being investigated: “Reportedly the Chief gave Ammann $1,500.00 out of his own pocket if Ammann would take a fulltime position with the department.”

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2e9vogdF3H_IAUMNNdDpMWj0_98uDErftPUyB5WmdOuAVJJWVZKksptjQzMSLqihhOEnb5bX9G6-_oqtdFoP0z7VfEuu2MHNs5BCUYoNKDA_szVuL90Mx3BVGHXp96BtuetmjhhjgAy0W/s1600/AGR.jpg

Phillips response to the AG’s questioning: “Phillips approached Eric who was working as a full time state police dispatcher reference working at Winchester on a fulltime basis. Eric was hesitant to do that as he would lose benefits he had with the state. Phillips offered Eric a $2,000 bonus to offset the loss. Eric would accept the Chief’s offer.”

The following comes from correspondence and dialogue between the Town and RTK requests:

“It is my understanding that when Eric Ammann was hired fulltime at the Winchester Police Department, the Town paid him a substantial sign on bonus.”

“Can you tell me specifically how much this additional salary cost the taxpayers?”

“I would also like to analyze the line item that shows this money being paid to him.”

“Who authorized this sign on bonus? Was this done by Selectmen’s vote? If so, can you tell me at what BOS meeting this vote took place during?”

Also, how much did Fred Ziegler or any of the other new police officers get for sign on bonuses and what line item was to record them?”

In a response from Town Administrator Joan Morel dated 10/28/10.

“The Finance Department has looked into the financial, payroll and personel files regarding your requests, and has reported back that the Town of Winchester has not authorized any sign-on bonuses for any member of the Police Department and there is no line item for this.”

An email back to the Town to ascertain there was NO misunderstanding of the information being requested:

In an email back to Morel dated 10/29/10.

“I appreciate you getting back to me on this, but this information doesn’t make sense. I have come across public records where Gary Phillips stated he offered Eric a $2,000.00 sign on bonus, to offset his loss in benefits to go to the WPD full-time and that Eric accepted that offer.”

“There must be a record of this as taxes and pension contributions would be reflected in the payment.”

“Can you please re-check the records?”

The second response from the Town Administrator:

“This is written in response to both of your concerns, namely the gym memberships and sign-on bonus.”

“As explained in my email of 10/28/10, the Finance Department has looked into the financial, payroll and personel files regarding your sign-on requests, and has reported back that the Town of Winchester has not authorized any sign-on bonuses for any member of the Police Department and there is no line item for this.”

The money didn’t come from the Town, yet Phillips told the AG’s he gave $2,000 to Ammann, he admits Ammann took the offer and Ammann said he got it via personal check belonging to Phillips.

A bribe from one cop to another cop. And covered up by the AG’s office at that.

2.) Then there is the banking fraud – again involving an investigation of the AG’s. They found Phillips to be in violation of the banking laws, yet in a sugary sweet letter glossed over that fact, probably in the hopes no one would notice.

From page 1:

“We reviewed documents and other material provided to this Department alleging illegal activity that resulted in the removal of certain officers in the Winchester Police Association, the installment of successor officers, and changes in control and custody of the Winchester Police Association bank account. Our Findings….”

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMCOl_K8VKqFhrPzblk7qYNcMGxK3EEN0JGF3TIxDlPRXYgYezUKkQGulaKDnM4HvcVtRQIu9Qj4mbwNWiL2rWCrwciyli69OvtJEp9MSHeieq40hcY4V5QLd1prxnOOAG6ACvjM7jRKO/s1600/1a.jpg

Page 2:

“The following receipt of these reports allegations of illegal activity were presented to the Attorney General Director of Charitable Trusts as follows:

• “The Treasurer of the Winchester Police Association, Daniel Reppucci, was removed from the office in violation of the by-laws”

• “Acting Treasurer, Gary A Phillips, removed the Treasurer’s name from the associations bank account and substituted Gary A Phillips and Christopher Roberts as signers on said account without proper authorization and in violation of the by-laws which require a meeting of the membership be called and a secret ballot held to elect new officer’s”

• “Chief Gary A Phillips, Acting Treasurer, Christopher Roberts, Vice-President” (not included in this decision, but an interesting note that is established in the investigation is that Roberts promoted himself to President at the same time Phillips promoted himself to Acting-Treasurer) “and Maryan Platz, Secretary failed to follow the requirements of the bylaws of the Winchester Police Association, in (1) not following proper procedure in order to call a special meeting of the members; (2) nor following the provision of the bylaws in replacing the Treasurer with an Acting Treasurer, an office not authorized in the bylaws; and (3) utilizing a document called “Certificate of Resolution of a Corporation” which references a meeting of the Winchester Police Association that did not conform to the requirements of the bylaws and which ultimately led to the removal of the duly elected Treasurer, Daniel Reppucci’s name from the associations checking account at TD Banknorth.”

“Based upon a review of the allegations the Attorney General Charitable Trust Unit has concluded Gary A Phillips, Christopher Roberts, and Maryan Platz did not follow the bylaws of the Winchester Police Association in electing new officers and in changing the authorized names on the associations bank account and hereby requires the following corrective actions be taken…..”

They didn’t follow the law when they changed the authorized names on the associations bank account?

That means they broke the law. Pure and simple. You can’t present a bank with false, fake and fraudulent documents just because you want someone’s name off a bank account. It’s illegal and against the law.

There are legal mechanisms in place for changing and removing authorized signers on bank accounts and Phillips again, chose to bypass the law in favor of breaking it.

Guilty. The Chief of Police and his Second in command found guilty. Found Guilty of Breaking the Law, Guilty when they gave TD Banknorth fraudulent paperwork for the purpose of causing the change of authorized names on a bank account, not belonging to them, by using an unauthorized means.

Since this investigation was ongoing at the same time the AG’s criminal Investigator Dick Tracy was also conducting his investigation and was made aware of this “other” investigation, one wonders why he didn’t elaborate or include the findings in his report?

He quietly alludes to it, alludes to knowing criminal activity has been alleged, even gets an email from the Charitable Trust Unit. But he ignores it. Wonder why?

These pesty, pesty cover-ups aren’t so covered up anymore. And they speak volumes in a very unkindly way about those that we entrusted to protect us from the scum of the earth and the bad guys. We find out it’s them that we really have to watch out for.

3.) Lastly we’ll use the Phillips got caught lying about the criminal investigation he asked the Cheshire County Sheriff’s office to conduct, as a way to get back at Reppucci as the final example of Phillips perpetual lies. Reported to the Sheriff’s Dept, someone had broken into Phillips office and stolen some documents off his desk. And then made copies. And then returned them secretly with no one knowing. All this in the Sheriff's report.

Caught lying in testimony, we hear him as he testifies under oath, in his own words a big fat lie.

We hear as Phillips lies and it reinforces the idea that perhaps he had an ulterior motive to frame Reppucci as a way to get rid of him.

After all, investigating a break-in and a theft from the police station. A break in at the police department that doesn’t make the newspapers? A crime reported by the Chief of Police, occurring in his own police dept office and the newspapers don’t pick up on that?

Phillips testimony:

And what did you do with that concern?

“With that concern it was a a, kinda a tough situation because it’s somethin’, there would, there would, I couldn’t really investigate it thoroughly because they would cry bias, no matter what I did, investigate it somewhat within, ah you would routinely, what they call farming out or you would ask another agency to investigate a case for you when it’s a member of your own organization, ah that’s committed an offense and then I think it was July 9th , ummm, Dectective Macie came to the police department to interview Sgt. Reppucci to find out, ya know, what he knew about this document and then the first time I told him he needs to answer the questions posed to him by Detective, umm, by Deputy Macie and he told me that he’d answer the questions but only after he had a chance to talk with his attorney and that’s when I told him that it’s not a criminal investigation, it’s an internal investigation, involving an administrative charge”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPs_UWqbJjE&feature=player_embedded

Really Phillips?

How come the letter Sheriff Foote wrote to Reppucci, states it was a criminal investigation Deputy Macie was there to conduct? In fact, the letter says the Sheriff’s Dept hadn’t conducted any internal investigations at Winchester.

“I am in receipt of your request for documents related to investigation report #09-63-OF. The investigation in question is a criminal investigation. It is not an internal investigation. In 2009 the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office was not requested to nor did it conduct any internal investigations on you or any other member of the Winchester Police Department."

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGm0ZAEZCkqSNfLuuxVMZbQ1xcClVhoDp2rax2WTbRiWogTIJZSJrAlDstDTEloZQlmZL1Y3WcOXO8cp9_cBopdFu4_9sZN9UR_XMhb8HPyMzHPwKnhCzNYMXR8IUJK9_wtZEgCZGzwLI/s1600/1.jpg

And how come the Deputy’s criminal investigation shows it was a Misdemeanor crime that was being investigating and not that of an administrative violation as he testified to?

Right under the Confidential Marking, you can see plain as day they were investigating a crime, a Misdemeanor to be exact. It certainly and clearly does not say they were investigating an administrative charge as Phillips testifies to when giving his false and fraudulent testimony under oath.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gsZhPVzj-hS-7M_F8SmwKADnRo8D2U_1GEaUxcMUE0KXviQV_3UMON9qInJRHQAXQw6QVjw4NKYSwlZqIXgh7O5KQ9jCegj6IQiJO5Y31ZAvJjVXAqI8vW_IjKQUzEg6I4nHNrMMnFSc/s1600/1.jpg

And why is there an investigation conducted by Phillips, that’s called an internal investigation being conducted by Phillips? Where in it, he refers to the criminal investigation the Sheriff’s dept is conducting. A criminal investigation into the chain of custody of the document he alleges was stolen from office and that he reported as stolen to the Sheriff’s Dept.

Hmmm. Is it possible yet another lie has been uncovered?

Is Phillips trying to combine two separate and distinctly different investigations into one so he can cover his lies to unsuspecting listeners, while he was attempting to stack the deck against one of his employees, after that employee had recently learned of criminal activity Phillips was both involved in and had covered up? Criminal activity he had reported.

Fact: Phillips testified he told Reppucci he had to cooperate in the Sheriff’s investigation or he would suspend him, telling Reppucci he had to cooperate in a criminal investigation, ordering him to answer questions of a criminal investigator, conducting an investigation into a crime, thus illegally ordering Reppucci to violate his Constitutional Rights – Miranda.

Fact: As we heard in the testimony of Phillips, his testimony is clear, Phillips testified he told Reppucci the investigation of the Sheriff’s was an internal investigation and not a criminal investigation.

Why?

Phillips has changed his story and testimony so many times it’s likely he doesn’t even know the truth. Every time he’s confronted with a fact that doesn’t fit into the story he has told he changes the story to fit the fact.

And this guy is an authority figure with powers over us? Scary stuff.

Was Phillips looking for a lynching or to get to the truth?

Fact: Phillips has a pattern of lying and he doesn’t care to whom.

Phillips can't hide behind - it's just a couple of disgruntled ex employees anymore. There's too much information, too much proof and too many credible documents that aren't in his favor.

The questions become;  

Is Phillips a complete  moron who doesn’t know the law or a complete moron who knows it but doesn’t give a damn if he doesn’t abide by it?

Maybe he’s both.

Either way there is no room in law enforcement for people like this and exposing them is the best way and the quickest way to getting rid of them. The sooner we get them off the streets the better off we’ll all be.

Michael Delaney - When is the NH Attorney Generals Office Going to STOP COVERING UP Crimes when Conducting Investigations?

Michael Delaney - When is the NH Attorney Generals Office Going to STOP COVERING UP the Crimes Committed by NH's Law Enforcement when Your Agency Conducts Investigations into allegations brought forward to your office?

Your Office Does NO Justice for the people when you cover up these crimes committed by Law Enforcment. And covering up these crimes acts to undermine the good people in Law Enforcement by protecting those Rogue Cops that are in place.  

Delaney - Do you and your Office Condone Criminal Activity Amongst the Police Departments in the State of NH?

Where is the integrity in the investigative reports? Numerouse mis facts, unanswered questions and questioned answered that make no sense. Facts omitted from the reports coming from your office and your criminal investigation division.

Chief Phillips, Town of Winchester Police Department admitted, to your investigator to he gave money, thousands of dollars, a "Bonus" as it was called in your investigator's report, to Eric Ammann in exchange that he come work for Phillips and the WPD on a fulltime basis, OUT OF HIS PERSONAL MONIES.

Apparently, Phillips wanted Eric Ammann to come work for him so badly, bad enough that he would rather by pass the "Normal" hiring practice and pay Ammann out of his pocket, thousands of dollars to get him to come work for him and the AG's office doesn't find something wrong, weird, or unusual about that?

Is that how police departments in the State of NH fill vacanies? The Chief typically takes money out of his own pocket to get the people he wants?

Are our police departments in the State of NH, nothing more than a bunch of bodies bought, sold and traded off by the Chiefs of Police that run our Police Departments?

Erc Ammann has already publicly stated the money came in the form of a personal check from Phillips. Your investigator doesn't include that in the report. Also, not included in the report is that the Town of Winchester has no "Bonus" options in it's budget.

Isn't it expected a Chief of Police that they are supposed to be above board, above reproach, following the laws as they expect of those they arrests? Or do they have special privileges and powers that the AG’s Office bestow upon them that allows them to break the law in a wanton fashion and then get away with when it gets covered up, such as what is happening with Phillips?

How does the AG’s Office justify one Public Official paying another Public Official, money from their own pocket in exchange for a favor when they given information that it occurred? And in their justification of that crime aren’t they guilty of a cover-up and putting the community and the general public at risk by ignoring information regarding participation of public officials in corrupt practices?

The AG’s Office Covering up for Law Enforcement Officers who have repeatedly broken the laws is not good for the Public as a whole and is not in the Publics best interest.

When the proof exists and it’s the public who gathers that proof it shows the AG’s Office has a reprehensible disregard for the public, Mr. Delaney.

You were appointed to ensure that Law Enforcement in the State followed the laws and you are responsible to ensure they don't break the laws once brought to your attention.

How does any Public Official justify giving another Public Official money in exchange for favors?

A guy who is supposed to be a seasoned law enforcement official and criminal investigator for the NH Attorney General’s Office, Richard (Dick) Tracy, fails to include in his investigative report that he asked Phillips pointedly and directly – Phillips did you or did you not give Ammann money from your own pocket in exchange for taking a full time position with the Winchester Police Department?

It would stand to reason that since Tracy discussed the incident with Phillips and we know this from the AG’s report it was discussed, the question should have come up, since that was one of the many allegations Tracy was in Winchester to investigate to begin with.

Why would this not be in the report?

Why would Tracy drive 1 ½ to 2 hours one to go all the way to Winchester for a face to face interview with Phillips and not have in his report that he asked him if he personally gave Ammann money in exchange for a full time position with Winchester?

Is Delaney and the AG’s office trying to cover this up and even more? When is the NH Attorney General's office going to finally admit that they can't hide the corruption anymore and that they have bad cops in the State of NH they refuse to deal with while putting the public at risk?

And what about the Town of Winchester and the officials running the Town who knew about this?

The Chief of Police, Gary Phillips (Winchester Police Department), admitted and told the AG’s investigator that a money transaction occurred between himself and then NH State Police Dispatcher – Eric Ammann for the sole purpose of enticing Ammann to come work full-time for the WPD.

Phillips has admitted to reliable sources, but apparently not to the AG’S office, according to this report, that he paid Ammann from his own personnel checking account for the sole purpose of enticing Ammann to come work for the WPD. Phillips decided to sweeten his offer of a full-time position by offering Ammann a couple extra thousand dollars in salary, which he would thoughtfully provide out of his own pocket, if Ammann would make the decision to leave State Police and come to the WPD full-time and the condition was that he so immediately.

Ammann has also admitted to other reliable sources he received MONIES directly from the Chief in the form of a personnel check and NOT FROM THE TOWN OF WINCHESTER, in exchange for him agreeing to immediately come to work at the WPD at the time the offer was presented.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. If it smells like a bribe???? What else can you call it? Read the RSA on Corruption and Bribes. Open link to see copy of document.

Read the following quoted excerpts from the AG’s report as documented by Tracy in his interviews and conclusions, and see whether or not Phillips gave Ammann money from his own personal bank accounts in exchange for coming on board to work for his police department full time.

Repucci response to Tracy’s questions regarding his knowledge of the incident during the Reppucci interview: “Approximately 2 years ago, Eric Ammann was working as a full time dispatcher for the NH State Police and a part time officer with Winchester. He had been trying to land a full time position as a police officer but was not able to pass the physical test. Chief Phillips approached Ammann and asked him to work full time with the department in the hopes that Ammann would eventually pass the PT test in the near future. Ammann was reluctant to do so noting that he needed the full time benefits that he had with State Police. Reportedly the Chief gave Ammann $1,500.00 out of his own pocket if Ammann would take a full time position with his department.” Open link to see copy of document.

Phillips response to Tracy’s questions about his information during Phillips interview: “A few years back Eric expressed his desire to work full time as a police officer, Winchester, was short handed having lost two officers to Hinsdale PD with a third officer out on workman comp everyone was working more overtime than they cared to. Phillips approached Eric who was working as a full time police dispatcher reference working at Winchester on a full time basis. Eric was hesitant to do that as he would lose benefits that he had with the state. Philips offered Eric $2,000 bonus to offset the loss. Phillips noted that he was desperate at the time, his officers were working more hours than they should and he feared for their safety from being overtired. Eric would accept the Chief’s offer…..” Open link to see copy of document.

From Tracy’s Report, in his Summary of the reported crime: “The Chief paid Ammann $1,500 dollar to take a job with the department. That allegation shocked Chief Phillips. First the Chief doesn’t understand how that would benefit him or the department. Secondly the Chief pointed out that Ammann is a local guy who the Chief feels would fit in real well with the community and the department. Phillips assisted Ammann with getting a membership at the local gym. Phillips stated that around two years ago his department was shorthanded. Everyone was working additional hours, which became a safety concern for the Chief. He approached Ammann requesting that he work full time for the PD instead of part time. Ammann a dispatcher with the NHSP was concerned with losing his benefits. Phillips offered Ammann a $2,000 bonus to help offset the cost of benefits he would lose if he came to work for full time for Winchester.” Open link to see copy of document.

It’s very interesting that Tracy doesn’t mention in his summary what is included in his report that Phillips acknowledged offering Ammann $2,000, “Philips offered Eric $2,000 bonus to offset the loss” and that “Eric would accept the Chief’s offer”.

How does a Chief of Police, any Chief of Police get away with this?

1. Giving his personal money to a subordinate officer in exchange for that officer having to meet conditions he set forth such as coming to work for him at the PD?

And,

2. By-passing the Town approved budgets for police officers salaries by admitting to propping up the salary of one of them in a manner that is outside the scope of how employees at the Town of Winchester are paid?

Is Phillips that incapable of knowing right from wrong? Incapable of knowing when he follows the law or when breaks the law? Or does he just not care?

Someone with the amount of power entrusted to him as Phillips has, who arbitrarily and without regard violates continually, is a detriment to society as a whole, sends out the wrong message that breaking the law is OK and slaps in the face the people he is sworn to protect.

Phillips, sworn to protect and serve, entrusted to do so, a Public Servant who’s job is to serve the Public, not his own self interests, who has a history of doing as he pleases because he has no fear of reprisal and continues to act as if he is above the laws, sending a very dangerous message that should not be tolerated.

Did Phillips tell the Town of this transaction so that the proper income was reported to the Internal Revenue Service and State of NH, so that the proper amount of taxes and pension were paid? Of course not, it wasn’t the Town that paid Ammann, therefore not their responsibility to do so.

Did Phillips by-pass letting the IRS about this income? Did he provide Ammann with a 1099? Or do Phillips and Amman consider this money to be a gift?

Moreover, was this just a cover-up of a crime of bribery between the Chief and an Officer by Dick Tracy, the investigator for the Delaney’s NH AG’s office?

Why has Delaneys’s NH AG’s office covered up this and more? Is this why we can’t get a proper investigation of our elected and appointed officials misdeeds? Has the NH AG’s office and Delaney turned it’s back on Winchester, NH and the honest and decent people who live here?

Are we left to fend for ourselves and wait for more harm to come to the citizenry of this town? More lawsuits, more injuries and more scandals?

Having already been presented with this information previously why didn’t the AG’s office apply for search warrants of both Gary Phillips and Eric Amman’s financial records when Tracy first learned money passed hands between Phillips and Ammann? Why didn’t Delaney order this be done and why hasn’t it been done?

Ammann has already admitted to others that the money came from Phillips personally and not from the Town and that is confirmed from Phillips own statements during the interview between himself and the AG’s office.

Why didn’t the AG’s office, Tracy in particular feel compelled to interview Ammann as he did with Reppucci and Phillips and any others he may not have disclosed? Aren’t Ammann’s recollection of the events that transpired between himself and Phillips relevant? Aren’t his bank records relevant? Wouldn’t they show an important link between himself and Phillips and the money that exchanged hands between them for an unlawful purpose? Bribery of a Public Official and a Public Official accepting the bribe?

Wasn’t Phillips and Roberts being investigated for bank fraud when they submitted fraudulent paperwork containing false information to TD Bank in order to take over the Police Associations bank account and gain access to it at the same time this investigation was going on?

Isn’t presenting fake and fraudulent information to a bank, regardless of the reason or excuse, illegal? Criminal? Against the Law? Something Prosecutor’s prosecute people for? Something the Police charge people with? Something people go to jail for?

Didn’t the AG’s office find them in violation of the by-laws when they did that? And if they were in violation of the by-laws then they with absolute certainty they were in violation of the criminal laws so why did the AG’s office let them off the hook on that one and not prosecute anyone?

How is it they were made aware of all this illegal activity and more but looked the other way and pretended it never happened?

If the police can be bought and sold so easily out in the open in broad daylight, what are they doing behind the closed doors we never find out about? How can we trust or believe anything they say?

Phillips has already admitted to the AG”s the money went to Ammann.

What more evidence does the AG’s office need? How incompetent are they? They get information and they don’t follow through or is it won’t follow through?

Why didn’t Tracy bother to collect this evidence or have someone else do it so they could do a proper investigation and come to a conclusion based on the facts?

Tracy didn’t follow through on information he was given and that information, was information that he could have easily substantiated one way or another to true or false. Why not? Why didn’t he? Because he doesn’t have to? Not a valid excuse. It’s up to the AG Office to police the police. That’s one of their jobs.

Why didn’t Tracy review the Town’s payroll and personnel records belonging to Ammann and the rest of the police department for that matter? Those records would have shown inconsistencies of statements made by Phillips.

Inconsistencies, such as:

Overtime. The officers weren’t working hours upon hours of extra overtime during that period of time. A quick look at the payroll records easily reflect that. All Phillips did was shift around his personnel and changed their hours around to ensure the proper coverage.

As a matter of fact, quickly looking at the towns records will show that numerous outside police details were being participated in by his officers at this time. Extra hours being put in to make extra money outside of the police department. Extra hours that can only be authorized by Phillips himself.

If Phillips were so concerned about safety, why then would he have allowed the Town and his employees to be in potentially unsafe situations and in jeopardy by authorizing these outside details to begin with? “Phillips noted that he was desperate at the time, his officers were working more hours than they should and he feared for their safety from being overtired.” As quoted from the AG’s report.

So he wasn’t as desperate as the AG’s reports indicates. The AG’s office however, dropped the ball when they neglected to check the records and took Phillips word at face value or did a quiet under the table look the other way.

Quickly checking the records would have also left Tracy with the knowledge that none of the police officers were out on workers comp as Phillips stated to the AG’s office as documented in their report, “Winchester, was short handed having lost two officers to Hinsdale PD with a third officer out on workman comp”.

Had he checked these contradictions it may have sparked a question or two as follow-up to his original questions to all parties. But alas, Tracy never checked anything and instead relied on what he was told by the Chief, took that information at face and trusted his word.

Here’s another contradiction.

“The Chief paid Ammann $1,500 dollar to take a job with the department. That allegation shocked Chief Phillips. First the Chief doesn’t understand how that would benefit him or the department.” Again from the AG’s report. See link.

How could an allegation that the Chief paid Ammann $1,500 dollars shock him? He admitted to Tracy that is precisely what he did. Perhaps he was offended that the dollar amount Tracy questioned him about was $500.00 less than what he admitted to Tracy he offered, $2,000. It’s a strange statement to make regardless.

As to the benefit to him or his department that is simple. Phillips had already stated the benefit would be less overtime and less wear and tear on his officers. Which myth is debunked by the Town’s payroll records, approved outside department detail work that officers were participating in, as well as the schedule made by Phillips himself.

It’s not like Phillips hasn’t had practice or had to deal with conflicting and tricky schedules in the past. Shifting peoples work schedules around for a variety of different reasons such as illness, vacations, officers in training or in the academy or numerous other different scenarios. This was pretty much standard business as usual for the department.

A benefit to Phillips was that he didn’t have to work weekends if he hurried up and hired someone. Reportedly, it was really Phillips who was doing the complaining about the schedule, not everyone else. He had to work weekends and he didn’t like it.

The other benefit to Phillips was more personal.

Phillips, lost his Lieutenant, Theresa Sepe and his Corporal, Royce Pelkey to the Hinsdale PD, simultaneously.

Hinsdale had just fired Chris Roberts, after having demoted him some time earlier. His termination was for among other things his inability to get along with the Chief and his refusal to take a 2 week supervisor/management course in RI that the Chief wanted him to take. This is also part of the AG’s report.

The open positions in Hinsdale were enough for Sepe and Pelkey to apply for and then to flee to, both finally getting away from the WPD and the major disagreement they had with how Phillips ran the police department just as they desired to do.

Sepe had been a police officer in Winchester, the Town she lived in for 20 years, had worked under different Police Chiefs, yet she had to flee because of Phillips.

Phillips had been her commanding officer for about 3 years before she bailed, jumped ship or just plain took another job with another town, you pick the ending.

The fact is she abruptly left without any notice, took a demotion, increased her commute time and mileage to go take a job in another town all because of her conflicts with Phillips.

Sounds like she had no problems working with Gary Phillips right? Wrong. Phillips had been just a subordinate to her before he put the screws to the Town and took the position of Chief, but only after telling the Town Administrator he was only interested in the position for a couple of years and then would step down. As is a commonly known trait of Phillips, he never kept his word and never stepped down and we still have him around.

Then we have Pelkey. He too took a demotion to go work for Hinsdale. In fact, Phillips told Pelky that if agreed to stay he would promote him from Corporal to Sergeant. Pelkey turned down the offer, the promotion, more money and took a demotion from Corporal to Patrolmen and went to work for Hinsdale. Turning down a promotion, turning down more money, he opted for a demotion, probably a reduction in pay and an even longer commute than Sepe because he lived in Richmond and would now have to travel to Hinsdale just because of his conflicts with Phillips.

Of course, Sepe and Pelkey both have made it known their feelings for Phillips and none of those feelings were of admiration.

So Phillips had a BIG PR problem. Phillips also has a BIG EGO PROBLEM.

He didn’t want the word to get out that his police department was in shambles due to his mismanagement, he could lose his job if he were to be found an incompetent. Lose his job, his benefits, his paycheck. MOTIVE to BREAK the LAW?

So when Phillips says there was no gain for him he lies again, his gain is to save face by hurrying up the process of getting Ammann or anyone else for that matter signed on as a full time officer to take the heat off himself.

Make himself look good, that he had things under control and it was no loss or big deal for Sepe and Pelkey to be gone. Save face, save his job, save his paycheck and pension.

That was the motive, the game that Phillips played.

He would get someone in there immediately even if that meant he would pay that someone out of his own pocket. Put into the proper order, in the proper sequence the reality is, it was Phillips who was desperate and the desperation came from his fear of being ridiculed for being a poor manager, a Chief who couldn’t run a police department and the loss of his own job because of his inadequacies.

The Town of Winchester was asked through simple RTK requests, to review the records to determine whether bonuses or other additional money given, as a bonus, to Ammann and others. They were asked to review simple records and give simple answers to questions asked. Something Tracy should have done.

For instance in an email to the Town dated 10/23/10:

“It is my understanding that when Eric Ammann was hired fulltime at the Winchester Police Department, the Town paid him a substantial sign on bonus.”
“Can you tell me specifically how much this additional salary cost the taxpayers?”
“I would also like to analyze the line item that shows this money being paid to him.”
“Who authorized this sign on bonus? Was this done by Selectmen’s vote? If so, can you tell me at what BOS meeting this vote took place during?”
Also, how much did Fred Ziegler or any of the other new police officers get for sign on bonuses and what line item was to record them?” Open link to see copy of document.

In a response from Town Administrator Joan Morel dated 10/28/10.

“The Finance Department has looked into the financial, payroll and personel files regarding your requests, and has reported back that the Town of Winchester as not authorized any sign-on bonuses for any member o the Police Department and there is no line item for this.” Open link to see copy of document.

In an email back to Morel dated 10/29/10.

“I appreciate you getting back to me on this, but this information doesn’t make sense. I have come across public records where Gary Phillips stated he offered Eric a $2,000.00 sign on bonus, to offset his lose in benefits to go to the WPD full-time and that Eric accepted that offer.”

“There must be a record of this as taxes and pension contributions would e reflected in the payment.”

“Can you please re-check the records?” Open link to see copy of document.

Then in an email dated 11/8/10, Morel writes back:

“This is written in response to both of your concerns, namely the gym memberships and sign-on bonus.”

“As explained in my email of 10/28/10, the Finance Department has looked into the financial, payroll and personel files regarding your sign-on requests, and has reported back that the Town of Winchester has not authorized any sign-on bonuses for any member of the Police Department and there is no line item for this.”

“The Town of Winchester does not offer either sign-on bonuses or gym memberships. The Board of Selectmen reserves the right to make executive decisions if members feel an employee needs additional support.” Open link to see copy of document.

In a response back to Morel in an email dated 11/10/10 whcih can be seen at the above link.

“Specifically, how much did the town pay for Eric Ammann’s gym membership or reimbursement, to whom it was paid and when was it paid.” See Link.

The response from Morel on 11/10/10, again the document cans be seen on the link above.

“Your request does not stipulate any particular governmental record, only questions to be answered. However, if you are referring to documentation regarding this request, the cost of three (3) pages copied is $1.50. Please remit that amount to the Town, and copies will be provided to you”See Link.

Then in yet another email dated 11/9/10 the Town is again asked, this time from a different requestor of information and is as follows:

“Have the selectmen authorized or approved any bonuses for Eric Amman? If so what are the dates and amounts of these bonuses?”

“Have the selectmen authorized or approved any payments or reimbursements to Eric Amann for the purpose of a gym membership?”

“Have any of the WPD employees or any other members of the Town’s employees been reimbursed or approved to receive any monetary or monetary equivalents above their budgeted salary and benefits as outlined in the budget?”

"If so, who made the authorizations? Were any votes taken and if so when? If so who received the benefit, date and purpose of benefit and what budget lines are these items charged to?” Open link below to see copy of document.

Response from Morel on 11/10/10:

“Your request does not stipulate any particular governmental record, only questions to be answered. However, if you are referring to documentation regarding this request, the cost is .50 per page.”

“Requests about Eric Amman are reasonably described, and the three (3) pages will be copied for you at a cost of $1.50. Please remit that amount to the Town, and copies will be provided to you”

"Please be more specific about the rest of your questions so that we may estimate the cost involved and be of assistance to you.” See Link.

Was this more preferential treatment that Eric Ammann received, in the form of additional income, beyond what he got from Phillips? Was this additional income included by the Town when they reported his wages and earnings to the State and Federal Governments and to the retirement system?

The responses pretty well substantiate that the money that Ammann received for coming to the WPD full time didn’t come from the taxpayers, which substantiates the fact that the money did come from an outside source and gives credence to Ammann stating it came from Phillips personally. Which was exactly what was reported to the AG’s office and precisely what Phillips was questioned on by the AG’s office, to which Phillips admitted to Tracy he did in fact offer money to Ammann and that Ammann accepted that offer. This all acknowledged by the AG’s office in it’s own report that Phillips said he offered Ammann $2,000 and Ammann accepted the offer.

So in nutshell –

1.Phillips asked Ammann to come to the WPD to work full time.

2.Ammann said NO, he couldn’t afford to because of some benefit he was getting from SP.

3.Phillips, instead of taking "NO" for an answer, then offers Ammann $2,000 out of his own pocket to cover that loss if he agrees to immediately sign on with Winchester.

4. Ammann agrees to accept the new offer under the new terms and takes the $2,000 personal check from Phillips and immediately goes full time at the WPD.

5. Down the road, Ammann confesses to other officers about the incident and circumstances who in turn report the bribe.

6. The AG’s gets involved whe nthey are made aware of the allegation, they question Phillips and Phillips admits to giving Ammann a $2,000 bonus and also admits that Ammann accepted it.

7. According to Tracy's report, Reppucci gets questioned and he tells Tracy he was told the money came from Phillips personally and not from the Town.

8. Tracy does nothing further. He doesn’t even question Ammann.

So the original allegation made against Phillips of questionable and illegal activity Phillips had engaged in when he offered his personal money to persuade a public official, Ammann, to come work for him has been established as an allegation based on truth and facts and that indeed money changed hands between the two of them for their own selfish gain.

Why didn’t Tracy go to the Town Hall office on August 26th, the day he was at the police department and ask to inspect the towns records? The same records that were requested through a RTK request. Mounting proof Tracy chose to ignore what he was told as there is no reason he would not have been able to access this same information himself through the AG’s office.

The records show no bonuses given – no sign on bonuses in the policy, none authorized by the BOS. How much clearer would it need to be?

No money exchanged between the Town of Winchester and Eric Ammann except budget approved weekly payroll.

Why didn’t Tracy ask to inspect Amman’s payroll records which we know show he didn’t receive any bonuses or sign on bonuses?

Why was Tracy so negligent in his investigation for Delaney's AG Office? What was his motive? Too much work, vacation schedule, incompetence or just a plain cover-up? There has to be a reason why Tracy just ignored this inforamtion of crimainal activty between Phillips and Ammann.

From all the information presented to Tracy and here it’s pretty clear that Phillips admitted giving Ammann a couple thousand dollars and Ammann accepted it, in exchange for a full time position at the Town of Winchester PD.

Here’s the NH RSA under the Criminal Code for Corrupt Practices or to use a common phrase a “bribe” and the pertinet parts underlined and bolded.

TITLE LXII CRIMINAL CODE
CHAPTER 640 CORRUPT PRACTICES
Section 640:2

640:2 Bribery in Official and Political Matters.

I. A person is guilty of a class B felony if:

(a) He, promises, offers, or gives any pecuniary benefit to another with the purpose of influencing the other's action, decision, opinion, recommendation, vote, nomination, or other exercise of discretion as a public servant, party official, or voter; or

(b) Being a public servant, party official, candidate for electoral office, or voter, he solicits, accepts or agrees to accept any pecuniary benefit from another knowing or believing the other's purpose to be as described in subparagraph I(a), or fails to report to a law enforcement officer that he has been offered or promised a pecuniary benefit in violation of subparagraph I(a).

II. As used in this section and other sections of this chapter, the following definitions apply:

(a) "Public servant" means any officer or employee of the state or any political subdivision thereof, including judges, legislators, consultants, jurors, and persons otherwise performing a governmental function. A person is considered a public servant upon his election, appointment or other designation as such, although he may not yet officially occupy that position. A person is a candidate for electoral office upon his public announcement of his candidacy.

b) "Party official" means any person holding any post in a political party whether by election, appointment or otherwise.

(c) "Pecuniary benefit" means any advantage in the form of money, property, commercial interest or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic gain; it does not include economic advantage applicable to the public generally, such as tax reduction or increased prosperity generally.Source. 1971, 518:1, eff Nov. 1, 1973.

RSA 640:2 confirms Phillips committed a class B felony when he promised, offered and gave Ammann a pecuniary benefit, in this case cash from his own pocket with the promise of a full time position with the WPD. Cash given for the sole purpose of influencing Ammann’s decision to immediately quit his job with State Police to come work for the him after Ammann told him he could not financially afford to immediately quit State Police and go to work at Winchester full time.

Another words Phillips cash payout can be construed as a cash bribe based on the law. He gave money out of his own pocket to another public servant to sway and influence for the purpose of his desire.

Under the same RSA Ammann committed a class B felony when he, being a public servant accepted and agreed to accept a monetary benefit from Phillips knowing that Phillips purpose for doing so was to sway Ammann to agree to be hired immediately. To make matters worse, Ammann, a sworn police officer who worked part time for 10 years and knew or should have known the statues, was obligated under the statute to report to a law enforcement officer that he has been offered or promised a pecuniary benefit in violation of the law.

Or, to be put into simple terms Phillips offered him a cash bribe to come to work for Winchester immediately and Ammann accepted it. Amman then kept quiet about for almost a year and half. He finally told other officer who in turn reported the bribe. The crime was then “officially” reported, but again not by Ammann. Up until now it’s been kept a pretty quiet secret and little was known about the truth surrounding the entire events. The story has now been opened up for public view.

Based on the email correpsondence the Town has known about this for almost a year at minimum. Yet they continue to let Phillips run the show and do nothing to stop him, increasing day by day the liabilty that will eventually be paid to all those who seek justice and relief.Those running around in Town Hall ought not to sit smugly in their arm chairs believing that they can't be found persaonnlly liable or that they are somehow protected by immunity. That might not be a defense when it can clearly be proved through documents that they have been notified numerous times over several years, warned and repeatedly asked to intervene and have continued to fail to do so.

And when is the FBI going to start investigating the corruption in this town and this state?

Winchester NH Police Department and Cheshire County Sheriff's Department Corruption and Cover-up Is Heard on YouTube - Can We Really Afford to Let This Go Unchecked When We Now Know For Sure They Will Lie to Get What They Want? When We Know The Law Means Nothing To The Ones We Trust To Protect It and Us?

nhFor those who can't or won't believe that "CORRUPTION" and "COVERUP" exists in Winchester, NH or Cheshire County we bring this information. The only side we are on is the side of Truth. It's All About Getting the Truth Out. 

Hear their testimony below.

Why has Sheriff Foote, Cheshire County and the Town of Winchester allowed Macie's Testimony to Stand on it's Fraudulent Merits when They All Know Macie, acting on behalf of the Cheshire County Sheriff's Office was Conducting a Criminal Investigation AFTER Gary Phillips reported a crime to them?

Why didn't Gary Phillips report the Crime to the Sheriff's Department that he had just learned of that very day, that Nate Jette Falsified Evidence in a Case He was working ON and that was reported to Phillips by Reppucci , that very same day June 25, 2009 and done so in Writing?

Listen to the YouTube Audio Recordings Down Below 

It’s TIME FOR JUSTICE

and
It's time to Hear The TRUTH 
Listen For Their Lies

Sometimes Truth Really is Stranger than Fiction

What they don't want YOU to Hear - Listen to Phillips Testify, Gary Phillips, Chief of Police Winchester

 Listen TO Excerpts of testimony as MacieTestifies HE was Conducting an Internal Investigation then switches his testimony when the Questions get harder to answer. 

Listen to Cheshire County Sheriff's Deputy Kelvin Macie

Hear EVEN MORE Testimony Below

 

Originally testifiying he was conducting an internal investigation, involving an internal matter at the Town of Winchester, he Quickly Changes that Story to Cover Up facts and then changes his testimony and Testifies his real purpose was to investigate a Criminal matter but that investigation didn't lead to him uncovering any crime.

Why did Kelvin Macie change his story from I was there to Conduct an Internal Investigation, to the new version it was a Criminal Investigation? Why did he go against the Sheriff's Orders? Or didn't he and only pretended he did?

What the Sheriff's do for their investigations for the Sheriff's Department are their business.

What Macie did when heTestified becomes ALL of our Business.

Why did Macie Testifiy that his investigation started out as a criminal investigation, with him investigating a criminal matter, but that it led into him doing an internal investigation. 

There is a difference. 

The Chairman even wrote in his decision - The Claimant was Insubordinate and therefor there was Misconduct on his part because he didn't answer the Deputies questions in his investigation that started out as the Deputy investigating a criminal matter but that it led into him investigating an internal matter? 

It sounds confusing but it's not. Two different cups of tea.

Where Macie do you suppose that idea came from? It came From  your testimony.   

Since Macie wasn't conducting any Internal Investigation and he gave Misleading Testimony that caused People Unfamiliar with Proceedings of this kind to believe him, doesn't that cause a problem in that he can't be trusted to tell the truth?  He has proved his testimony can't be taken as accurate and truthful.

What's worse is his inaccurrate testimony has helped Perpertrate a Lie about Dan Reppucci that is not True and NEVER was True.

When Cops Lie and Mislead in their Testimony and Reports it brings Discredit to them, undermines the system and does nothing to foster a respected relationship with the public.   

Macie's Testimony Caused Dan Reppucci to Lose his Job and Unemployment Benefits.

Macie's Testimony caused people to Believe that Dan Reppuci did not cooperate in an Internal Investigation being conducted by the Sheriff's Department. That Reppucci was Disrepectful and  Insubordinate to Gary Phillips when Phillips "Ordered" him to immediately answer Macie's questions. That there was some sort of refusal to cooperate in an internal investigation.

Macie testified that Reppucci was required to immediately answer his questions without Speaking with a Lawyer first.  Even as Reppucci said he wasn't required to do so and that he wanted to speak with an attorney because he was being Targeted by his boss Gary Phillips, Macie continued to deny Reppucci his rights. 

Macie testifed that because of Dan Reppucci's employment with the Town of Winchester he wasn't "Capable of Demanding That" right.

Really? Who taught Him that? Keene PD? Cheshire County? Police Standards & Training? Or did you learn it on the Streets? Miranda is Miranda is Miranda.

What does ones employment have to do with a Criminal Investigation or to the Criminal Investigator? 

Had the Testimony been truthful, Dan Reppucci Would Not Have Been Found to Be Insubordinat, would he have? Because had the testimony been Truthful, Macie would have testified that Reppucci had EVERY RIGHT and PROTECTION under the Constitutions to consult with Counsel and that he legitimately chose to exercise that right. Macie then would have testified, I left at that time so I have no idea what did or didn't happen after that. Macie would have testified that the investigation being conducted by him was for the purpose of investigating a crime reported. People understand that and the meaning of it. 

And HE wouldn't have produced an ADMINISTRATIVE WARNING on Sheriff's Letterhead and APPROVED for Use by the Sheriff's Department now would he have?

Of course not, the Sheriff's Deputies or any other Cops for that matter, don't run around with fistfulls of Admimistrative Warnings stuffed in their back pockets, so that when they knock on the doors of people they want to question, they can easily pull them out and then tell them - Answer or I'll get your Boss and your Boss will Order You to do so. 

It's ridiculous that Macie actually used that line, it's sad that people fell for it. 

And if His testimony was honest, stratigtforward and not misleading He would have told the Town Selectmen, that the Administrative Warning was just a BOGUS piece of paper that meant nothing and He would have testified to that same thing at the Unemployment Hearing. 

Actually, more  than likely it would never have come up, it only came up as another tool to use to make the deceit look real.    

If Macie Weren't Trying to Help Gary Phillips put the Screws to Dan Reppucci why didn't  he testify that Dan Reppucci was Entitled under the Laws and Constitution of the United States and NH to Speak to An Attorney, as requested, Because HE was in Fact Conducting a Criminal Investigation?

Why is he still helpling him put the Screws to Reppucci? Because he has something to lose if he doesn't.

It didn't matter the who's or why's it only mattered that it was.

As He testified, a person is entitled to exercise Miranda in a criminal investigation, a criminal matter as any citizen would be.

So what part did you not get? Or did you think no one would find out?    

Your Testimony Flip Flopped - You Changed Your Story Kelvin Macie - Why?

Because it allows you to Keep and Protect your JOB? That is probably YOUR Motivating Factor for wanting to keep the Lie Going. Correct us if we're wrong?

Based on Macie’s Sworn testimony, Police Officer’s, such as he is, have the right to not Uphold the Law and have the right to VIOLATE the Rights of Individuals if they are being asked questions in their criminal investigations. And as long as they Testify it was an internal type of investigation they were conducting.

Let it Not Be Lost – Reppucci was never asked nor “Ordered” to answer questions in any investigations – EXCEPT – the Criminal Investigation being conducted by the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Deputy Kelvin Macie.

Let it NOT BE LOST, and you hear Macie Testify to this, if a Criminal Matter is being investigated, the Person has a right to Miranda as anyone would. 

Just Because Someone is a Cop or a Sheriff’s Deputy doesn’t mean they won’t Stoop to LIE to Cover Their A$$ - Especially if they Think They Will Never Get Caught 

Macie has misrepresented himself, his Duties, His Obligations, the Sheriff’s Department and the Law so badly nothing he says can be trusted to be Truth.

The matter at hand was a criminal investigation the Sheriff’s Dept was conducting and never was an internal investigation, that can't be denied.

Macie ultimately and finally admits to that, which means Phillips put Reppucci on suspension for a reason that wasn't representative of the truth as to why he gave as a reason.

Phillips couldn't afford or risk Reppucc talking to anyone and the real reason being is simple, Phillips didn’t want his dirty secret that he was running a corrupt police department out in the public. There is plenty of information to show that.

Macie’s testimony reveals:

1. 1st Macie testifies he told Reppucci it wasn’t a criminal matter he was looking into.

2. Then he testifies he told him it was an internal investigation.

3. Then he testifies to how Miranda works and that if an investigation is about a criminal matter then a person has the rights to Miranda as anyone would have.

4. Macie then testifies he wasn’t investigating an internal matter, he was investigating a possible breach of facilities which is the same as saying a break in, or unauthorized entry of one sort of another. Then testifying the internal matter had nothing to do with what he was doing there.

So if he wasn’t investigating an internal matter, why did he testify that it was an internal investigation?

Since Macie wasn’t conducting any internal investigation his administrative warning was bogus, used for deceit and as worthless as counterfeit money.

Since as Macie then testified he wasn’t investigating an internal matter and that he was investigating a possible crime why didn’t he let Reppucci exercise his rights under Miranda so he could go and speak with an attorney?

Why does his testimony flip flop?

We know he was conducting a criminal investigation, that’s evidenced by his police report and the fact that the crime being investigated is a Misdemeanor crime reported by Phillips.

The question is, Why did he lie about it?

See link:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTm5Oc9ErAgnz5KI4YN9CghIPfUJKM7IifsnlvBTAlVitXxjsO_xjf-Y1_e7JA0o-tRGzSy8QmLAOKTccHX0kLfSPk6oPqcefr83Lf7pGOu1WiodPyLKOWc6uYIxqvpNW2TtVMoMHJyQH/s1600/8.jpg

Further proof and evidence, if that is not enough, that he was conducting a criminal investigation, is that Foote wrote a letter and it says he directed Maice to investigate a crime. That the Sheriff’s dept never conducted any internal investigations at the Town of Winchester and specifically never conducted one on Reppucci.

See link:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGm0ZAEZCkqSNfLuuxVMZbQ1xcClVhoDp2rax2WTbRiWogTIJZSJrAlDstDTEloZQlmZL1Y3WcOXO8cp9_cBopdFu4_9sZN9UR_XMhb8HPyMzHPwKnhCzNYMXR8IUJK9_wtZEgCZGzwLI/s1600/1.jpg

The final question asked of Macie by the Town's Attorney Moskowitz, is both deceptive and misleading, as a Garrity Warning has no place in the matter at hand, which was a criminal investigation. And these guys know that.

Macie, Phillips and the Attorneys, all banter about when it comes to a bogus Administrative Warning and Garrity Warnings or Rights, as if it has some legal value in a criminal investigation as they misleadingly testifiy.

– All Agree IT WAS AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARNING –

NO ONE HAS YET TO TESTIFY THAT IT IS A Legitimate WARNING to be USED IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS BECAUSE IT IS NOT and it NEVER HAS BEEN and NEVER WILL

So what is really going on here? Macie, were you helping Phillips set Reppucci up? Pretending you were conducting an internal investigation when it was really a criminal investigation? Hoping Reppucci would cooperate and answer questions? Maybe twist his words around a little? Then Phillips could say leave or you’ll be arrested? Incompetence? What is it? What is really going on here, cause from here it looks like bad cops doing bad things.

And really Does it matter why or does it matter Reppucci got forced into the middle of it because of lies and deception by Macie and Phillips? 

When Phillips and Company Run Around Saying they Won a Lawsuit against Reppucci, Fair and Square and in Court - They Best be Explaining and Disclosing the only reason why they won is because they Presented Lies and Misleading Information to the Court.

And NOW They Can't Point Fingers at People and Complain that they are Not Telling the Truth. We're Using Their Own Words to Explain the Story. No one elses.

What do you get when the most Powerful Police Agency in Cheshire County, the Sheriff's Department, combines forces with the most Corrupt Town and what can only be described as the most Corrupt Police Department in Cheshire County, the Winchester Police Department?

Now you can Hear what you get. Police that lie, misuse, and abuse their power and their position to try to cover up their criminal misdeeds and mistakes.

You can hear dishonest cops boldly lie, giving fraudulent testimony just to be DECEPTIVE. Believing they would get away with it.

You can hear these dishonest cops tell their fraudulent, deceptive story because the TRUTH is not what they ever wanted the people, their counter parts or their colleagues to hear or to know.

Selectmen, Ken Gardner, as well as Phillips and Roberts all listened and heard the testimony of Macie 1st hand, listened to Reppucci’s questions to Macie and did nothing, which points another finger to corruption, lies, deception of the truth and shows again the strength in numbers mentality to cover up the truth and lie was really going on.

The attorney, Moskowitz, asked the question of Macie, Did you tell him it was an internal investigation? Yes I did.

All heard Macie testify to that and also to Phillips testify that the investigation was for the purpose of having an unbiased internal investigation to investigate the break in at the police department and that Foote directed Macie to conduct that investigation.

Thick as thieves in deception, thick as thieves in lies, thick as thieves to cover it all up.

All with a motive to do so.

What Phillips, didn’t want people to know and what he was willing to protect at any cost, was that he was running a department with crooked cops on one side and good cops on the other.

Phillips mission? Destroy the Good Cops.

Phillips, himself a crooked cop, well established by his lies and deception, was promoting and looking the other way when his underlings, subordinate officers were engaged in criminal activity. We know this from numerous other documents and the numerous inconsistencies and lies coming from the Winchester Police Department.

Example, Phillips allowing his subordinate officers to cover up for each other, such as he and Roberts did for Nate Jette, when Jette falsified evidence. Phillips approving of that cover-up by participating in it himself. Proof beyond doubt he can’t use the sorry excuse that he didn’t know what was going on.

The tides have changed and the table has now turned. Phillips bogus investigation story is unraveling just as quick as a bogus alibi in a real investigation.

It’s their own GREED and continued denial of the truth that has made a story of this.

Denied the truth because they are protecting their own interests. Their jobs.

Phillips and the Town have bragged about winning a court decision. Bragged that Reppucci was just a disgruntled employee.

Bragged that they got rid of the bad guy. They forget to tell everyone, they did it by giving fraudulent testimony and by giving deceptive testimony.

That is why PHILLIPS didn't want Reppucci to have an attorney.

But they never expected to be exposed or that anyone would uncover the facts. The fact that they won their court decision by deceit and by fraud.

The judge’s decision based on a fraud and deceit.

Anyone can win if they have the ability and power to lie, cheat and manipulate. 

A Chief of Police and his Cronies have just that ability.
Lawyers hired to help them twist their facts and spin their tale.

They do this at the expense of others because they are not men with integrity, but liars with something to hide.


If Reppucci had really been doing something wrong as Phillips says he did, it would have been easy to prove it.


It isn't likely that Reppucci would be persisting if he didn't have the proof that shows Phillips and company have in fact lied and have in fact covered up.

All Phillips has done is muddy the waters with his typical inability to answer a question in a truthful straightforward manner.

We, like others are gonna help Reppucci untangle the mess that Phillips calls an investigation.

The fact that Gary Phillips, Kelvin Macie, Chris Roberts and the rest have gone to such extremes, suggests Phillips didn't have a real or valid reason to get rid of Reppucci.

Liars have a way of telling their lies and then changing their story every time someone figures them out. Telling new and different lies each time they are questioned or need to make an explanation.

For instance, had Reppucci or anyone else, made copies of some confidential document and passed it around, by now someone would have provided a copy or blabbed about what the confidential information was. 

Instead, nothing. Rumor created by Phillips. Much like his rumors of retiring.    

Always making excuses that it's someone Else's fault for what they do or don't do, always changing their stories and telling more lies when they get caught.

Real Cops Fight the Bad Guys. In this case, the bad guys are Cops.

Public Corruption and Police Covering up Police Crimes is NOT Acceptable.

This is a matter of Public Concern and the Public has a Right to Know who and what they are Employing and what they get for their tax dollars.

It’s time to Expose these Corrupt Cops and their Employers, the Town of Winchester, NH and Cheshire County, NH for what they are and use their own words to tell the story.

Dan Reppucci asked the employers to investigate. They chose not to. We did.

Quick Facts:

Dan Reppucci was a police officer by occupation, but just an ordinary citizen, like any of us, when he was being asked questions during the Sheriff's criminal investigation.

Phillips and Macie have lied and distorted the truth. Reppucci was not a police officer or even an employee being questioned as part of any internal or administrative investigation, being conducted by his employer or someone for his employer, when he was ordered to cooperate in Macie's criminal investigation.

Like any other ordinary citizen, in this instance, he had the right to seek the advice of an attorney before answering any questions. This was a criminal investigation after all and he was just a regular person, being questioned in that investigation and Macie testifies to that.

But what Macie also did, was embellish his story and testify that he was conducting an internal investigation, which he was not.

What would cause Macie to testify that he was conducting an internal investigation when clearly he knew he wasn't?

Reppucci was not obligated to follow any unlawful orders no matter who issued them.

That is why Macie and Phillips have tried so hard to make it appear that what they did was lawful.

Macie violated Reppucci's rights and was wrong when he did not immediately let Reppucci leave to do as he wished.

Macie continued to violate his rights and was wrong to continue to question him and then to bring in his boss, Phillips, who had nothing to do with the investigation that the Sheriff's Department was conducting.

Reppucci again ordered to obey an unlawful order and again stating his wish to exercise his lawful right to speak with a lawyer, did not then give his supervisor, Phillips, a right to interject himself into another Police Agency's Criminal Investigation and then discipline Reppucci for not following his unlawful order.

Phillips has a pattern of interjecting his nose where it doesn't belong. The Board of Selectmen have allowed it. They have tolerated it and they could have stopped it. They didn't.

Phillips, has tried to deflect the truth by openly lying.

He has made a grave error in judgement. Not everyone is OK with police that lie. Not everyone is OK with police that break the law and then get caught doing it. They are criminals, just like the ones they arrest.

We will let you hear and see how they have accomplished this thus far.

First Video - Those Present and their Swearing In to Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, under penalty of Perjury.

     
Second Video - Deputy Macie testimony. Testifying that Sheriff Foote was clear to him, that he was not going to Winchester to investigate personnel issues.

For those unaware, investigating personnel issues falls under administrative investigations or internal investigations.  ONLY.

Third Video - Deputy Macie testimony continues. He weaves his tale, lying and misrepresenting the truth. Misleading and Testifying that the investigation he was conducting was not a criminal matter he was looking into.  And because he wasn't looking into a criminal matter, Reppucci wasn't entitled to ask to speak with an attorney. 

Macie, what is it called when you are "Directed" to investigate a reported break in, breach of security, or document stolen if not a criminal matter?

Do you mean to tell us if someone calls the Sheriff's Dept or Police and tells them someone broke into their home or place of business they are not reporting a crime?

Do you mean if they ask for your assistance to investigate that crime that you can alter the facts?

Are you going to tell us that because the ADT alarm did not go off, that instead you are conducting an internal investigation for ADT because they believe that one of their employees didn't set the alarm properly? Is that what you are trying to tell the world?   

Is that what you and Phillips would like us to believe?

And what about the business of Reppucci not being "capbable of demanding those rights" to speak with an attorney and "that based on his employment with the Town of Winchester he was obligated to answer those questions". Reppucci sounded quite capable of demanding those rights.

You sounded like you had something to hide.

Two problems with your testimony - you can't deny the request of anyone's right to counsel when conducting a criminal investigation, Mr. Macie and; 

You testified later in your testimony, that you were unaware of Reppucci's department policies and the Winchester policies and that is the reason why you were unable to follow them.

So which is the right version Mr. Macie? You did know the policies or you didn't know policies?

You lied or you told the truth?

When asked by the Town's Attorney, Erik Moskowitiz - you did tell him it was an internal investigation didn't you? His answer is astonishingly,  yes I did.  

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGm0ZAEZCkqSNfLuuxVMZbQ1xcClVhoDp2rax2WTbRiWogTIJZSJrAlDstDTEloZQlmZL1Y3WcOXO8cp9_cBopdFu4_9sZN9UR_XMhb8HPyMzHPwKnhCzNYMXR8IUJK9_wtZEgCZGzwLI/s1600/1.jpg

The link above points to a letter written by Sheriff Foote. It's clearly written and understandable. Macie was there to conduct a criminal investigation because of a report, the Winchester Chief, Phillips of a crime down in Winchester that he reported.

Foote points out parts of Macie's Report, written by Macie, indicating Macie knew the sole purpose for his being at the WPD was to conduct a criminal investigation into a a crime, not conduct an investigation about employees.

The letter is clear. Macie was not there to conduct any internal investigation at the WPD and neither was anyone else from the Sheriff's Dept.

So how is it that Macie has been allowed to lie and give fraudulent testimony and get away with? How has this fraudulent testimony been allowed to perpetrate the system as if it were truthful and honest when it was a lie and fraudulent and deceitful?

How is it a sworn police officers, caught in the act, have been getting away with it?   

How can we believe anything a liar has to say, after they have been caught red handed in a lie?  

Fourth Video - Macie threatening to get the supervisor, Phillips and then doing so. Macie testifying that THEY together decided to present Reppucci with an administrative warning Macie created.

Fifth Video - Macie describing how an administrative warning works. Stating most important is that the investigation being conducted is of an internal nature and not a criminal matter. Stating if the matter is of a criminal nature the person being questioned would have the right to Miranda as anyone would.

Which goes back to the question (?) - Isn't the report of a break in and theft and the ensuinge question (?) - Isn't the report of a break in and theft and the ensuing investigation for the purpose of investigating a criminal matter?

 Macie testified he created the administrative warning he and Phillips used. He testifies that it was "CREATED" at the Sheriff's Department and that it was approved by the Sheriff's Department.

If this testimony is true, Foote and his department were willing participant's in helping Phillips to plot and carry out his scheme to set Reppucci up and in the process violated the law. 

It goes back to the same question why didn’t Macie let Reppucci leave when Reppucci first said he wanted to talk to an attorney since he was really conducting a criminal investigation?

Why was he trying to cover up the fact that he was conducting a criminal investigation? 

Why did he make the decision to hold him there, get Reppucci's boss and continue to violate his constitutional rights?

This was a criminal investigation. Crime reported to Foote by Phillips. The report says it was a Misdemeanor crime and the report was released under the Right-To-Know.

If Maice’s investigation were an internal investigation, as he and Phillips made up story implies, then the Sheriff's Dept wouldn't have the internal investigation, they would have given it to Phillips, they simply wouldn’t have had it to be able to release it.

And if they did still have it, it wouldn’t be in the computer program used by all the Sheriff’s personnel, to be viewed and printed by anyone in the department because it would have been considered confidential.

If in fact it were an internal investigation.

Why did Macie testify to the lie that the investigation was an internal investigation?

Macie testified that Foote and his department were aware of what Phillips was doing and Foote and his department had knowledge of, blessed and allowed Macie to set out and violate the law and then allow him to cover it up by letting him continue to lie.

That's the story that Macie has testified to and it is in his own words.

Next up you'll hear Macie's testimony and answers to questions asked by Reppucci.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reppucci now gets a chance to ask questions of Macie. Listen to how Macie responds.  

Sixth Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie -  First Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) My question is did you see the actual letter that you say Mr. Plifka saw?

(Reppucci) OK. Did you see a copy from Mr. Plifka?

(Reppucci) Did he provide a copy to you?

So according to Macie's testimony he establishes that he has seen a copy of the reported as stolen letter.
He establishes that he didn't see a copy from Mr.Plifka.
He also establishes that Mr. Plifka never provided Macie a copy.

Seventh Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie - Second Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) Did you show him a copy of the letter to ask him if that was specifically the letter that he saw?

Macie testifying I don’t recall if I had a copy to show him or if I showed him a copy at that point. I don’t know that I had a copy at that point, actually I don’t think I did have a copy because I hadn’t met with the chief yet. What does Phillips have to do with?

You testified at the Town's Hearing, when asked to look at a document, is this the doucument you were investigting the security of? and your answer was "Yes that appears to be the same one. I was given a copy of that by Sheriff Foote.

So WHY did He Change Testimony? He really had a copy. 

Why didn't he show Mr. Plifka a copy? Is it because he would have said that he never saw that before?


Is it because Phillips would have been caught in another lie and you would have had to act on that? Or did you already know he story was a lie?

If that isn't enough to jog his brain there's more.

Let's help Macie recall. Lets refresh Macie’s memory and direct him to his police report.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8DGEk1oYncgaB_zKtzTdPWynXI8S7RV1FSgLl9qAK9jNbdcmH-Lk-hUhSpOswwubDYoQS2jSG9s9mV6u8_Kqse7zmF6YTO6ML4pvqoCr6kCgv8YQPF9CyN3o4fF79e8hHTw4wv1b1Ehg/s1600/1.jpg

So to wrap it up, all he did was confirm that when Reppucci went to see Mr. Plifka, at Mr. Plifka’s request it was long before he gave Phillips any letter or any grievance, which is what Reppucci has maintained right along.

Macie, Do you even know when the grievance letter was written? We do know that it was given to Phillips at the end of the workday of June 22nd.

Reppucci has shown lots of letters and documents to Mr. Plifka over the years.
Page 1 of Macie police report narrative - DATED 6/26/2009

3rd paragraph, 4th sentence:

Macie, to help refresh your memory you detailed in writing, in your police report the names of the documents you were given. One was the grievance letter.

“Also provided to the Sheriff’s Office ……. a copy of the grievance letter in a manila envelope marked “Chief” ……”

How could you possible forget this Macie? You are so very specific about describing how that grievance letter came to you, right down to the envelope it came in, the kind of envelope it came in and the writing on that envelope.

Yet you claim you didn’t have a copy because you hadn’t yet met with the Chief?

Let's also revisit the 4th paragraph 3rd sentence:

“The Sheriff gave me the documents listed above with the exception of the Request Letter (that was given to me on 6/29/09 by Captain Croteau and came to the Sheriff’s Office separate from the other documents). I retained the documents at home in a safe until 7/1/09.”

So, you got the copy of the letter on June 26th, kept it at your house in a safe until July 1, 2009 for a total of 6 days before you went to Winchester to see anyone?

And you got it from Sheriff Foote, yet you testify as if it was to come from Phillips.

Why did you lie about the fact you had a copy of the letter long before you went to Winchester?

Why did you lie about the fact you really did have a copy of the letter to show Mr. Plifka when you went to see him but just never did?

Have there been so many lies told that you forget when, why and to whom?

How is it that the purpose of your investigation, to confirm whether a letter was stolen, is somehow made to seem so insignificant that you believe that it is OK that you lie that you didn’t have a copy when you questioned potential witnesses to a crime, when all the while you did?

Did it not matter? Did you not think it important to show Mr. Plifka a copy to confirm that he had indeed been given a copy of the letter reported as stolen?

You don't even mention in your report that you even asked Mr. Plifka to describe the letter to you or to repeat even one or all of the confidential disciplines and internal investigations supposedly detailed in the letter.

Can you tell me how many pages it was? Signed or unsigned? Paper color. Black ink or colored ink? If the guy just saw it the week before, don't you think he'd remember enough about for you to confirm whether it truly happened or not?

Why would you not find it important to make sure you had the facts about a letter supposedly stolen from a Chief's desk? After all, Reppucci was accused of doing just that.

What exactly did your investigation confirm?

Nothing other than what you write on page 3 of your police report.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPBYjLQ5l0BcVrO5zh5Phr1vQtwNKYNe1RzKWqjR8aYHtmy3aZ9H-eXJesvKHq1seKv2mwt0cdpZ1PHwlM0GXrayl07GFr7xyvzPLqToe6u-5B42Uf9j3acjSG_S3V8G0bflnaXXXNmL-v/s1600/3.jpg

Read it for yourself.

Mr. Plifka states that 10 days to 2 weeks prior to Macie being there on July 1, 2009, that Reppucci came to him.

That would put a date of Sunday, June 21st being 10 days back, to Wednesday June 17, 2009 being 2 weeks back.

That doesn’t coincide at all with Phillips timeline.

Not only doesn’t the time frame coincide with Phillips ridiculous story, that is pretty much confirmed with Mr. Plifka’s statement as written by Macie.

Phillips alleges someone broke into his office and stole a letter and copied and disseminated that letter to members of the public sometime between June 23rd and June 24th.

According to Macie’s police report Mr. Plifka said Reppucci was there sometime between June 17, 2009 and June 21, 2009.

Not between June 23rd and June 24th.

That would have been 6 or 7 days. Not 10 to 14 days.

Wouldn’t Mr. Plifka have simply stated Reppucci was there a few days ago or last week instead of the cumbersome statement Macie said he made?

Reppucci has always maintained the only reason he was at Kulick's was because he was called there for police related business. He was called there because Plifka wanted to know what was going on with the complaint made about Roberts. The complaint made to Phillips, about Roberts making derogatory comments about Plifka's employees, several months before. This information is actually substantiated in a report that will make it's way to this site.   

Too bad Macie couldn't put that fact in his report. People may not have been so easily taken in, or at least been willing to hear another side. 

That's why it's important investigators are OBJECTIVE, get all the facts and document those facts.
Not just ask and document only those selective facts that cconveniently fit into the story they are trying to tell.  

Macie, didn’t you think you needed to conduct a thorough and proper investigation so you could get to the facts and then get those facts straight?

Eighth Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie - Third Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) So you did not show Mr. Plifka a copy of the alleged letter that was leaked to him so he had no way to confirm that it was the same letter, is that correct?

(Reppucci) Did he give you any documentation to show that he had a letter? Did he give you a written statement saying that he had a letter that I gave him?

(Reppucci) So when you say that he said he saw the letter, you never showed him a copy of it so he doesn’t know if it’s the same letter, so you’re just speculating is that correct?

(Reppucci) OK, but you never showed him a copy of the letter, I could’ve been showing him, he could’ve seen a copy of laundry list.

Again, pretty sloppy testimony, after a sloppy investigation. In fact, the day in question, the day Reppucci went to see Plifka, at Plifka's request, Reppucci had dozens of letters with him, none that had anything to do with a letter, grievance or other document submitted to Phillips.

That is precisely why Macie is now trying to cover for his previous testimony. Before, Macie was pretty sure what he was doing and why, now he is unsure and testifies Plifka was aware of the issue.

What issue Macie? The theft of a letter from the police dept? That someone gave a copy of the letter to Plifka after stealing it from the Chief's office? A grievance? A grievance letter? That you were at Plifka's place of business and you told him that Phillips thought it best for some outside department to investigate?

When asked, you dodge answering those very legitimate questions being asked.

Some might be of the opinion that every case you ever testified in should be revistited.

You are skirting the issues, dodging the questions and have not given one iota of anything that Plifka and you are even talking about the same thing.

Ninth Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie - 4th Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) You stated that I refused to cooperate and answer any questions, is that correct?

(Reppucci) Do you recall me telling you that I had some concerns that I was being targeted for termination?

Targeted for termination, yet Macie was not there to investigate any internal goings on. Not there for the purpose of any internal investigation involving an employee and an employer. If he wasn't there for that purpose why then did he testify he told Reppucci he was there to conduct an internal investigation.?

Listen to Third Video where Macie Testifies he was there to conduct an Internal Investigation. 

Tenth Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie - 5th Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) Did you state to me the reason why you were there is that you were investigating potentially someone breaking into the Chiefs office and taking a copy of this grievance letter?

  

So Macie testified he may have in fact told Reppucci he was investigating a crime. So what is Macie doing?
Setting up another police officer so that it looks like he did something he hasn't?

So the question is which is it Macie? A Crime or an Internal Matter? An Internal Matter or a Crime? And if you didn't know what the hell you were doing there why didn't you just testify to that? Why LIE? Why MISLEAD? Why testify FRAUDULENTLY if you don't need too? 

Eleventh Video - Reppucci Questions to Macie - 6th Set of Questions:

(Reppucci) OK, there’s a document with the date on it, July 10, 2009 from Orr & Reno. It’s a letter from Chief Phillips and it states in this letter that I am quite prepared to answer any and all questions, and I would like to know from Mr. Macie if he has ever seen this letter? It shows I was willing to meet with him.

(Reppucci) I would like Mr. Macie to look that document over and I would like to ask him if he has seen this document or was told about this document?

(Reppucci) Were you ever told, Mr. Macie, by anyone verbally that I agreed to meet with you?

 

Again, Macie hasn't been truthful in his testimony.

Macie was actually shown this document at the Administrative Hearing, where he also testified that he had never seen or been told by anyone, that Phillips actually received a letter the day after Reppucci was put on leave. He testified he never knew that in that letter the attorney requested that an interview be set up so that Reppucci could answer those questions being asked of Macie. When a copy of the letter was given to Macie, Macie testified, again under oath, that he never saw that letter.

So here again he lies, pretends he has never seen the letter, when he has been recorded as already have been shown a copy.

It's not important for this particular case one way or another, other than it shows a pattern of lies and a pattern of cover up by cops. Again, Macie had an option to tell the truth and failed to.

Other Testimony from Phillips & Roberts will follow.
