Vehicle Inspection Anthony

02/25/2021 11:56 am 0.50 An inspection revealed a blue Ford Focus no license plate (later found
vin in past case parked in the driveway with
a donut replacement tire on the front passenger side shredded from
the weather. A Vehicle Warning Notice was written and I attempted to
provide it to the Hispanic male about 55 years old, 225 lbs., 5'9" tall,
who was cursing me out and behaving in an agitated manner and kept
circling back towards me in a threatening manner and was in my face
cursing at me. I retreated to my vehicle and I called Deputy to keep
the peace. I read in a prior case on 11/09/2020 that states
called in response to a Vehicle Abatement notice and was
cursing Moises and rude, and talking over him on the phone. As he
refused the notice, I placed it on the ground for him to take if he chose
to. He picked it up and said he would throw it in the trash as they do
not litter on the property.

happens at the house. He agreed to make efforts in that regard. He
provided his mailing address at .

Phone Call Gerald
Duchene
03/30/2021 5:00 pm 0.25 I received a call from who was very upset. He stated he
wanted to speak with a supervisor so that he can file a complaint. He
became increasingly upset throughout the conversation. I was able to
calm him down and speak to him about the case. I asked that he
move the blue ford focus back into the garage. I advised this will
eliminate that violation. I asked about the white vehicle. He stated the
vehicle now has tags. He stated his girlfriend found tags and placed
them on the car. I asked if the tags belong to this vehicle, he stated he
was unsure she was the one that found them. Please check with DMV
again to confirm if the tags are current and belong to this vehicle. He
asked to speak with Supervisor Meredith again. I advised he was not
in the office but I could give him his email address so that he can
formally file a complaint. He was given supervisor Meredith's email
address.
