Verbal Threats, 4312 Deep Creek Blvd
As you can see in this security camera footage, I pulled into the driveway while Shannon Cutler , a Maaco employee, was standing between two trash cans beside the garage of Barbara Patterson, a Walmart employee. As soon as I exited my vehicle, Shannon began yelling, "Hey, leave my family alone, bitch! You are going to get yours!"
Immediately after entering my home, I called the police. An officer eventually called me back, but he stated that Shannon had already called with a different version of events. The officer told me I was free to seek a restraining order, but claimed Shannon's actions were protected by "freedom of speech." He dismissively told me that he "cannot arrest everyone who says they are going to bonk you on the head."
I tried to explain that this situation is far more serious than a simple threat. Shannon had already attempted to hit me with his car back in April. We have issued a cease and desist and taken him to court, yet nothing has worked. The officer insisted that I must obtain a court-ordered cease and desist, and only if that is violated could an arrest be made.
Throughout the call, the officer spoke with an elevated, aggressive voice. He was gruff, unprofessional, and entirely closed-minded; he clearly had no interest in assisting me. When I informed him of the previous vehicular assault, he simply replied, "Well, I don't know what the police intervention was back in April."
No one will listen to the reality of what has been happening for ten years. The situation is escalating, yet the authorities choose to do nothing to de-escalate it. I suppose when I am lying dead in the street, they will finally show up with a shovel to remove me like roadkill.
