Dateline 4-10-00 There was an
altercation in which I was arrested. I cannot give many details
right now as I have charges pending. As of right now, the hearings are
scheduled for May 15th, 2000,; in Fayette County Magistrate Court. I
will release more information as I am able.

Well now we finally have a name to go with those late
night meetings at the Dairy Queen, Ricky. How does Margaret ******
grab you? She seems much TOO YOUNG to be married. I thought you
stuck to married women only. Well, she might be married, I
guess. You know, the kind that don't kiss and tell. Your
playing with fire with that one. If only her daddy knew..............or does
he? Does your wife know?

Well, it appears that there is an AWFUL lot of
speculation on just exactly when and where I am doing my web page updates
from. This information comes to me via a county police department (Not
Fayette County either) which shall remain unnamed. It appears that they have been told that
members of OHPD are trying to find this information out in an attempt to
possibly have my employment threatened. Let me state this for the
masses (and those who come back daily to check up) that when I am working
for my employer that I do work. It is really an amazing concept to
some interested parties, I realize but, yes, I do clock in and work. I
am sure that the concept would simply amaze some members of the OHPD. Work 40,
get paid for 40. Not show up for work and get paid for non-work. (Just
for your information, I do believe that the city may have settled a lawsuit
filed in Fayette County Courts some time ago by the officers of OHPD for
overtime pay......another one of those "Go Figure" things.) I
don't do these updates while I am working. I don't update my web pages
from my work place, but I invite you to check if you would like. Do
you think that the OHPD offices would be open to such inspection. I
doubt it. Much too much to hide in my opinion. By the way.....
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Also be sure and check the "Your
Thoughts" page out. Very inquisitive writer asks "Who is
that woman?".

I have been informed
that the story about Officer Akers that was told to me by Officer Edward's
wife, Nancy, may not have been entirely true. Apparently, according to sources,
Edwards was going around using the name of Rick Akers. Again, apparently yet
another officer was going around using the name of Edwards. Sources
tell me that Officer Edwards' wife, Nancy, may have become confused as with the
number of similar stories going around. (Anybody have a program
guide?) Sources say, and I quote, "I
really don't expect Edwards wife to know the true stories if ya know what I
mean. He has lied to her so much already what would a couple more
hurt.".....

Well not a whole lot new items to report other than Fred
and Ernie are still spreading TOTALLY FABRICATED LIES about what really took
place. As I have said before, I played the game, by their rules. I
knew from the beginning that nothing would be done about my complaint.
Ask Fred, if he will tell the truth he will tell you that I said that from
the beginning. There are simply too many people involved that would
allow a fair hearing of the evidence. That is another thing.
Ernie says "no evidence". It was all right there in front of his
face. Signed "confession" on police department letter head. My
"perfectly legal" audio tape that they didn't want to hear.
The city hired an attorney at the beginning of this thing to represent
themselves in this matter. Phil Tissue declined as he also represented
Ricky in some other matters and it would be a conflict of interest.
Jamie Blankenship (I think that is his name) is the one that they hired to
"protect the city's interest" in the case against Ricky. He showed
up for one hearing only. The first one. After that he was never at any
of the rest of them. When I asked what happened to the attorney, Fred
said " I don't know" and that was the end of that. If you think he
was really interested in seeing this thing through the correct way, he would
have had the city's attorney present. This has been going on since the fall
of 1998. They twist and outright lie about what really took place.
Isn't there a punishment for perjury? I think that they do this to try
and cover up (however blatant) their deeds. If any members of the city
council would like to "rehash" this with ALL parties involved in
one room I would be more than willing to do so. That way everyone knows what
everyone else is saying. Lying to city council to cover up for an
inept police department will generally come back to haunt you later.......
Making up stuff like "they weren't even married at the time" is
pure bull. And even if we weren't married (which we were Ernie), does
this give Ricky the right to "glove up" and take a sex break when
the urge hits him. I think not. Fred said he has been trying to "get
rid of him" since '95. How was that said to me now......."embarrassment
to the city.....". Yes he is. As well as others. Sure I am
going to take heat for this page. It was expected. But all of
the slurs, etc. still does not take away from the fact that this guy was
having sex while on duty. Everyone has seen the "Drug Free School
Zone" signs up at the schools. Should we also have to start
putting up "Sex Free School Zone" signs also? He would probably
take it as FREE SEX and continue doing what he is doing. Watch
closely. You will see how blatant it is. Last I heard, condoms were
not standard issue equipment for the police department. I
have received so much email that goes into all sorts of directions about who
is doing what and with whom. I am talking some very well known people in our
fine little town. I have edited this out of public view for now. If you don't like the page or
the content of what I am putting up here, all I can tell you is not to come
back then. Most people would want to know what the city is paying
for. I can remember complaints about police coverage being inadequate
in the city. Does anyone wonder why? I don't anymore. Anyone ever hear of
stories of tickets getting fixed in exchange for sex? I have. Lots n
lots of them lately. Sure others have done, are doing, and will continue to
act this way. Don't miss the point of the page ( a lot of you have I'm
afraid). Don't dismiss it as just "another angry husband"
thing. This affects EVERYONE in this town. I sincerely hope that
it will not affect your lives the way it has affected mine and my family. It
may one day. Sure I am angry. I do have a lot of issues to deal
with. This kind of thing should not be one of them. It shows a
DEFINITE need for independent review boards of police. They protect
their own. Hey, the guy he is covering for may just be doing the same
for him. It is a very poor time indeed when a city allows this type of
officer to continue to be employed. Opportunities abound for these type of
lowlife officers to perpetuate the destructive behavior and not have to
answer to anyone other than someone he or she may or may not be covering
for. Think about it. Like I said my story could turn into your
story too at any time.

New additions to the "Your Thoughts" page.
Again thank you for your support. BTW, I just wanted to let you know that
yes I know there are several rumors floating around and I would like to
state, for the record, No I don't beat my wife and (this is a good one) I
did not run off with some woman I met on the net and lived with her for
months. LOL. This is just too funny.!

Well I find it utterly amazing that no one from the city
council or police department have asked me to remove my page. Guess I will
have to wait on my summons. Looks like I won't be able to make it
totally interactive as there is a tremendous amount of vulgar messages
people want me to post. Sorry, but I want to keep it as clean as
possible. I will keep searching for something to use that will filter the
vulgar stuff. I have had a suggestion for live chat...................
02/07/2000
WE ARE GOING INTERACTIVE!
That's right! Hopefully by this week end I will have in place a sounding
board. Good or bad we want to see your comments! Just keep the language
clean as this page is viewed by several people of many different ages. Will
have to look around for the appropriate vessel to try to keep the foul
language to a minimum. In the meantime, please leave your comments on
the "Your Thoughts" page. Thanks.

Well sorry guys. Audio has to be put on hold while a
few legal situations are cleared up and I still hope to be able to put clips
of the actual audio online. I don't think that a transcription will truly do
Officer Edwards the justice his speech of admission deserves. The response to my
story has been phenomenal! Thanks to all of you for your support and wanting
to contribute to the page. I may take up a few of them and post them here
too. I will keep the page updated with any new information coming out of
this. Should start to heat up pretty good this coming week. Give me an A! Give me a C! Give me an L! Give me a U!
What does that spell?! ACLU! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Fred says he is in contact with a lawyer to sue me for
slander and several (unnamed at this time) other things. Asks
where am I doing the web page updates from! He did not elaborate if it
was the city, the police department or individuals wanting to sue. Stay tuned! Looks like
the railroad is firing up it's engine! CHOO-CHOO! By the way, THANKS FOR
GETTING THIS OUT! As I am doing some minor typo corrections to the page the
counter is well on it way to 1100 hits! THANK YOU THANK YOU! The story needs
to be told and the more people that know it the better!

Barbara Hickman called me today and wanted to tell me her
side of the story as she felt that I was not giving her a fair shake.
She went on to say that it was Fred Dickinson's decision not to terminate
Rick Edwards for his misconduct. She also said that she told Fred that
she wanted him "out of here". As I did not set in on this meeting
I must give her the benefit of the doubt that she voted to oust the
troublesome officer. We discussed the lack of follow through on the part of
Fred Dickinson in keeping me informed of the situation. HEY FRED I
STILL NEED IT IN WRITING! She also stated that she was unaware
of the fact that during suspension time the officers are given the
opportunity to use their vacation time so they don't lose any money. (i.e.
PAID VACATION) OH YEAH! Forgot this earlier. She, and I quote,
"understands the reasons why you are publishing this web page and I
don't blame you a bit."
I have lots of feedback on the information that I am posting
here. Most of it very supportive and for this I thank you. Let me state
this.....I do not condone the actions of my wife, Jenette, nor Rick Edwards. I
am not trying to lessen the roll that my wife played in this. What I
am trying to point out is the lack of discipline in the Oak Hill Police
Department and city government in controlling its employees. The
actions taken and the end result is basically that the city and Fred
Dickinson and the "Board of Peers", and Oak Hill Civil Service
Commission in a sense does nothing but condone the behavior. It was
not right by any means. I feel that I was the one who was not given
the "Fair Shake". I know of no other employer that would allow
such conduct to go unpunished. If I were carrying on a sexual affair with
someone while I was supposed to be working there would be no doubt that I
would be searching for another employer as soon as it was found out.
Police officers should be no different. All I asked for was for fair
and just punishment for the deeds done...All I got was the run around and
double talk. I also hate the hush-hush way that it was handled.
Like it was a big secret. People of Oak Hill should know what they are
paying for.......(use your imagination here). Fred Dickinson, to my
understanding, still has the right to appeal the decision of the Oak Hill
Civil Service Commission. He told me this the day I called him and
found out that the board had decided to dismiss the charges. He also
stated that he was not going to do this. In other words, he is still
not going to do the right thing. Heck, write him a citation for
littering when he disposed of his little nasties on the school playground.
But hey, I told Fred from the beginning what the end result would be.
He gets out of it, period.
I am very seriously contemplating putting a little audio
clip of the officer in question on this web page this weekend. This
would be the audio tape that the board of peers nor the Oak Hill Civil
Service commission wanted to hear. As I have stated before, several
members of the city council have heard this already. And since it
didn't do any good to keep it for the pre-determined hearings, maybe
you would like to hear it. We will see. Please stay tuned........
