Report concerning incidents of
following/harassment on Wednesday, September 1, 1982.
First thing in the morning when my wife and I left our trailer park in our
car we were followed by the light blue Ford license #1DKD497 to our place of
work.
The Ford pulled off just before we entered the parking lot in our work place and
waited outside.
When my wife and I drove out for lunch at 12:00 a.m. the same blue Ford
followed.
We ate lunch near the Mariner's Park then drove to the phone store on Bristol
Street, the Ford following the whole time.
There were two people in the Ford, one of whom was the same man who had driven
the white Ford which had struck me the day before.
I dropped my wife off at the phone store on 3033 Bristol then drove further
on Bristol, finally pulling off into a shopping center. The blue Ford followed
the whole time.
In the shopping center I went to a payphone and attempted to make a call to
my attorney to inform him of what was happening. The blond man walked right up
to the payphone and would not leave. He commented when he walked up: "I got
the phone number." What he meant by this is that he had observed me punch
the number. He may or may not have seen what number I called, but the statement
was only harassment.
I was not able to make the call because this man stood right next to the
payphone.
This act (and many others) belies the claim that these followers were paid only
to follow me. He could have watched me from some distance away, but he didn't.
He came right up to where I was trying to make a private phone call. I then made
another call, and had to introduce myself with my first name "Gerry."
The man then the said: "Great, I got your first name." He then called
on his walkie-talkie which he carried with him: "I got his first name. It's
Gerry."
I then moved to another payphone about a hundred yards away in the shopping
center. The man followed and again came right up to where I was trying to make
the call. This was a flagrant invasion of privacy.
I then got back to my car and drove back to the phone store where I picked
up my wife. The car followed the whole time.
We then drove back to our office, the same car following the whole way. After
work we drove home and were again followed closely by the blue car, plus the
white
Ford.
Again the Ford came right on to the trailer park property then moved away and
parked just outside.
Another car which I had observed had been following us, a grey car license
#1APJ765 came right onto the property and drove around the park driveway. The
driver, a white male in his 30's, glasses, sandy hair, about six feet three
inches,
very heavy, perhaps 250 lb, stopped right in front of our new trailer. My wife
and I approached his car and asked him what he was doing. He said: "I'm
visiting
my aunt."
I said, "You're not following us?" He said, "No." He then
said: "Why, are you security people?" I said, "No, just
concerned."
This car then proceeded around to the other said of the trailer park and
parked.
My wife and I walked over to the manager's office to report on what was
happening.
We saw the grey car driver parked beside a trailer and informed the manager. She
came out and observed the car and the driver drove quickly out of the park.
The manager informed us that the man wasn't visiting his aunt, and that in
fact the trailer he was parked at was vacant.
We informed her of what had been occurring with the various cars and she said
that the police had been called three times and were watching the place. She also
said that the tenants were getting very upset with the harassment, with the
people
blocking the driveway and with the driving fast in the park and that they had
complained to her.
Several times after this I noticed one of these cars come onto the property
to observe our trailer. |
