As we do with all city council meetings, we have a 15 minute public comment period, three minutes per person. And do we have anybody signed up? Sir, um, first of all, what is your full name? I I see it's M. Craig, but I can't make out the last name. Is it Holmes? Yes, sir. Okay, so give your uh address again. Five hundred A Moyer Circle East, Milford. Okay. And uh you're permitted three minutes, and uh, so please proceed. Um I would like to find out if something can be done about Milford Police Department. I'm tired of these women where I live calling, filing false complaints. I've been arrested twice, I've been detained seven times. I just came from court on April 15th and was found not guilty because they found out the girl lied, said that I was doing stuff. I've been telling them for almost three years that I've been being harassed by these women, and they keep taking it saying that I have to be doing something. There was video proof to show that I didn't do it, and nobody bothered to pull a video from the property, from the casino, from any anywhere where they said it happened, and everywhere they said the stuff happened, there were cameras to prove my innocence. I spent five months from December twenty-five to two thousand December two thousand twenty-five until April uh two thousand twenty-six in my car because I was told I can't go home because of that. Now again, last Monday, I finally get back, and another one of the ladies called the police and said that I rolled in my wheelchair into the back of her health aids car, put holes in it with my wheelchair. She did not know that I had a body camera on. And she lied. The police came out again wanting to to arrest me for something I didn't do. And I'm tired of it. I don't know what I'd have to do. Do I have to sue the city? I've called to speak to the mayor. I was told he was gonna get back to me. It's been three months, no one's gotten back to me. I don't know what else to do. I'm not threatening no lawsuit or nothing, but something needs to be done. I begged them to get a restraining order against them, nothing's done. The two officers this time they come out, and I showed them that when they saw the video, oh, it's impossible that you could have did it. Nobody's charging these people with filing these false reports. I'm 59 years old, I'm very sick, and I cannot keep going through this. I was put in a hospital December 16th because the police came out because the girl kept saying, Oh, he's taking pictures of me. His phone was down in his lap. You can't take pictures if your phone is down in your lap. They arrested me again. They threatened me with it being arrest when they found out they couldn't arrest me for it because I didn't take pictures, and I willingly gave them all of my electronic devices so that they could so that they could see I taken no pictures of anybody. I carry my phone in my hand like millions of other people. This is ridiculous.
