To whom it may concern, The following describes multiple code violations from Chandler Automotive that I noticed/experienced during the process of retrieving my towed car from their site. I have video/audio evidence of the violations, and I would prefer if someone reached out to me so I can submit these as proof. It will only allow me to upload images through this submission form. Thank you: BMC 4.32.140(b): Called the number at around 5:30pm to ask to retrieve car, employee stated that she will not be able to get my car until about 9:30/10pm. This is in violation of part 1 of section B, as well as violation of part 2 of section B, since this was well outside the sixty minutes. I recorded the phone call where the employee told me 10pm. Please reach out if you would like this evidence. BMC 4.32.140(f): The invoice, see attached, is not itemized correctly pursuant to the requirements of I.C. 24-14-5-1. The invoice is missing/incorrectly accounted for the following: - I.C. 24-14-5-1(4)(D) - No VIN number. - I.C. 24-14-5-1(4)(C) - No year. - I.C. 24-14-5-1(5) - License plate # is incorrect. - I.C. 24-14-5-1(C) - No explanation is given for the additional charges incurred, which is required here. BMC 4.32.130(a)(2) - The company attempted to charge me $185 for the tow. One $25 charge being a go jack fee, and the other being a dollies fee. Since a go jack fee is a special fee, the total for those should not be $50 according to the code, but a maximum of $25. They corrected this upon me providing them a copy of the code. However, I have audio recording of them attempting to charge me that amount, and being unable to explain these additional charges. BMC 4.32.120(a) - As stated above, the towing company failed to comply with applicable state law in the invoice. BMC 4.32.120(e) - The vehicle was not able to be claimed upon calling at 5:30pm on 4/18/2024. Please reach out for a copy of the evidence as I am not able to upload it here. These laws were created by the legislature with the intention to be construed strictly due to the stated purpose of this chapter being to protect the public from unconscionable practices (BMC 4.32.010). Please reach out to me if you have any additional questions. I plan on following up in fourteen (14) days if I have not heard back from the city on this matter by that time. Thank you for taking the time to read this complaint, and I appreciate your enforcement of the laws of our wonderful city. Respectfully, Matt Shelton

During this past weekend's storms, a tree on city owned property fell and damaged our fence. The tree also damaged an adjoining fence on coty owned property. We have taken pictures, moved the tree and crudely sealed the fences well enough to keep the dog in the yard. What are our next steps?

From Complainant Davon Patton: Hello, I contacted the NAACP about a retaliatory arrest for the Education Department and my accusations of police misconduct in 2018 and was advised to contact you once the dispute with the school was adjudicated. After doing some research on my claims the statute of limitations starts on the date of the occured action. For example; the statute of limitations on my false arrest claim began to accrue when i was arrested. The only claim that begins to accrue after the charges are dropped is malicious prosecution as one of the elements is a termination of a prosecution in my favor. I am preparing to file a suit pro se while my claims are still fresh but would like assistance finding a pro bono or contingency based lawyer and a statement from the NAACP in support of the lawsuit. My claims are as follows: 1. Free speech retaliation (Denying my petition for reinstatement in March 2018 was out of Retaliation for whistleblowing and accusations of discrimination and police misconduct) 2. Violations of Title IV of the Civil rights act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1974(Denying my petition in March 2018 was discriminatory) 3. Spoliation of Evidence(The IUPD omitted exonerating evidence from discovery) 4. Perjury (The IUPD committed perjury by including false statements in a probable cause affidavit and showed reckless disregard for the truth) 5. Defamation (The IUPD and university officials defamed me of my character by lying about the emails to the department of education and by filing false charges against me) 6. False Arrest (The University had me arrested on a false arrest warrant alleging intimidation for sending the provost a Kanye West Song) 7. Retaliatory arrest (I was arrested in June of 2018 for engaging in free speech and federal protected activities) 8. Retaliatory prosecution (I am being prosecuted out of retaliation for free speech and engaging in federal protected activities 9. Vindictive Prosecution (I was arrested and prosecuted because of racial animus). 10. Intentional Inflection of emotion distress 11. Abuse of Legal Process (I was prosecuted for illegal motives) 12. obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal administrative agency(I was arrested out of retaliation for the department of education) 13. conspiracy to injure using unlawful means(school has letter from therapist talking about how I’ve recovered from the trauma of being wrongfully arrested in 2016 University again wrongfully arrests and prosecutes me in 2018) Claims waiting to be filed: 1. (Malicious prosecution will be amended to complaint once charges are dropped at the time of this complaint my lawyer is getting ready to file a motion to dismiss on multiple grounds) 2. I am still researching other possible claims A refresher on my story can be found here local groups such as the Bloomington DSA, YDSA Bloomington, and Btown Antifa have shared the story aswell: https://bloomingtonsolidaritynetwork.tumblr.com/post/176958755178/who-will-survive-in-america Those CC'd are those who you had CC'd in an earlier email to me, Vauxx Booker, and Kevin Brown an IU professor who is suing the IMPD.

On Monday may 6th my daughter Asiajuana and i pulled up to the village pantry on Patterson and West 3rd. My daughter got out the car to go into the gasstation, when 2 girls started yelling profanity at her. She proceeded to get back into the car to let me know that these were the girls that had a problem with my God daughter Porchanae Reedy. So i get out the car in hopes to defuse the situation asking them can we talk. They said come come over here as we were walking over they still proceeded to curse etc... So i asked what problem did they have with my daughter because she had nothing to do with the on going problem. Things got heated. My daughter and the girl name Ashely Reynolds got in each others face and she hit my daughter. Ashley's sister Brook decided to jump in so then i jumped in trying to protect my daughter. After that my mind went blank i just felt punches to my face and body, i looked over and my daughter was being dragged by her hair while being called a black bitch, i was called a black bitch and the word nigga not nigger. After the fight my breast was hagging out my mouth was busted. I got up off the ground i believe i put my shoes on, i look over and both girls pulled up to my car Brook got out and snatched my purse out of my car, my daughter tried to grab it but she couldnt. A lady that was parked on the side of me called the police during the fight. Police showed up asked what happened took pictures had me my daughter and the lady Pam write statements. After about an hour the police found my purse. I had already canceled my bank card witch was still in my purse but all my cash was gone. Witch in the original police report i reported 900.00 in cash but it actually was only 600.00 in cash and 385.00 on my bank card so i summed it up to 900.00 in total before the purse was returned. My daughter has a black eye, and her skin was ripped from her knee. The police told me that both girls would be arrested. Later that night i found out either girl was arrested the only got citations for court. The next day they repeatedly drove past my home calling us niggers, threatening us taunting us about our cars and beating us up again. I called police and they said its a public street. Im mad im angry and im fed up with the police Dept. This is not the first time that white ppl has gotten away with harming us we were jumped back in 2014 by 12 white supremacist and the case was thrown out of court. I cant let this one go. Thank you guys for calling me and getting in touch.

The Royal Toyota South car lot has a loud speaker that projects its phone ringing for the whole world to hear. I am more than 1,800 feet away from the car lot, through the woods, and can hear the phone ring while in my house listening to music. Between 3:45pm and 4pm today, it rang 12 times. I've read the applicable section of the municipal code, 14.09.030(c)(4). The language that I find applies is, "the sound produced persists . . . intermittently for a period of at least fifteen minutes and can be heard outside of the immediate premises from the location." I have reported this noise violation multiple times with no resolution. Is the solution that I call the police every time the car lot is a nuisance? I do not want to waste the police's limited resources on something that should be easily resolved administratively by the city government (and with technology; can the car lot get a cell phone, a pager, an answering machine, something?). uReport Case #166220 did get referred to the police, who referred the case to city legal in January of 2019. The phone has continued to ring since that time. Can we finally get this issue resolved and bring some peace and quiet to the south side from this incessant noise violation from the car lot? Thank you for your help.

It is my understanding, that the Bloomington Recruiting officers have had multiple incidents with unauthorized/unethical relationships with High School Students, within the surrounding Indiana school district. There has been issue's coming out of IU Campus, Bedford High School, Bloomington South High school, and Brown County High School. Recruiters are being allowed to enter these High Schools (some through the JAG program) others through recruiting events.and through this events, they are able to nurture unauthorized relationships with the high school students during instructional time. It is my understanding that the teachers and staff were notified of the inappropiate conduct but nothing has been done about. As a parent, it is concerning that we are "forced by law" to send our children to school where these adults are being given repeated access and opportunty to our young girls.
