ECSO Litmus Test

Featured

EDITORIAL: I want to acknowledge the handling of a serious matter, a little less than 2 weeks ago. My son, who lives in Pensacola, was missing and possibly endangered. I was apprehensive about involving ECSO due to my history with the leadership. However, Chip Simmons, Investigator Lee and Sgt Calogero were fantastic. My son is fine, but I was a wreck. I will never forget what they did.

Having said that, I am still compelled to post on issues I believe are public worthy regarding the agency. Chip’s personnel decisions and actions or inactions, still will ripple through history. I will not pull punches on this matter, because someone should.

Now that the ball is in Chip Simmons’s court, we will all be able to see if he is more of the same (ie Morgan) or whether he will turn the agency around as is hoped. It appears he is riding the fence on the most recent morally bankrupt employee, David Craig. Craig has recently been on administrative leave. It is alleged he exposed himself to a little girl. Can’t confirm for sure but knowing Craig’s history, this certainly fits the pattern of inappropriate actions he has had in the past.

Right after Craig was hired in January of 2009, he immediately began abusing the trust that should be associated with working for a law enforcement agency.

To a layperson, this seems like a string of misdeeds that should not be punished by anything less than termination. Destroying evidence? Fake badge? Interfering with Investigation? Dissemination of official personnel records by someone without the authority to access those records legitimately?

In early 2015, I received an email from a source about Craig:

Hey Jimmie, just thought of something when I saw your comment about chatting with David Craig on Facebook.  Are you aware that David was a Reserve Deputy but lost his certificate for policy violations?  And, that he contributed a ton of his BLAB tv show time to Morgan during his first campaign and some during the second campaign?  Morgan created a job for Craig  with a starting salary roughly $10,000 over what a starting deputy makes.  I started getting complaints on Craig from Investigations in regards to his interfering with several investigations.  The Captain of Investigations at the time, sent me a letter asking me to stop Craig’s getting involved before he blew a case.  After several other complaints, one from his immediate supervisor, another Investigator and a complaint about Craig impersonating a law enforcement officer, I went to Morgan.  Morgan refused to involve himself in Craig’s situation, other than to tell me to just warn him to be careful.  I eventually wrote Craig up and warned him that if he continued to talk to witnesses, take pictures of suspects homes, and other such activities he could be arrested.  Craig also has a Domestic Violence past and I’m correct he is not allowed to carry a firearm but does and Morgan knows this.  Craig acted as a Bodyguard for Morgan during his election campaigns and carried a gun on him then.  

Since then, I have been approached by witnesses who claimed that Craig was banned from the Creighton Road Walmart for urinating in public, and thus exposing himself to shoppers. Somehow or another, even after PPD was on the scene, Morgan was notified and got the PPD to not issue a report. The witnesses heard the call on the scanner and showed up to witness firsthand the covering up of this offense. There is no report or any paper trail on this other than the witnesses, which doesn’t surprise anyone.

I am also hoping to see Chip step up to deal with Steve Cappas. The man confessed to tampering with evidence in the Joe Zarzaur case for the Rodgers twins. Lest we forget.

And Mike Gilmore. He failed to act on information regarding a missing child. Let a lead sit in a file for 2 years, knowing the witness saw the girl in a sex trafficking setting. Not even a footnote in his file.

There are so many issues with personnel. If Chip doesn’t step up and eradicate the vermin, he is just as bad as that vermin. One bad apple ruins the whole bunch, right? What about 3-4 bad apples?

Sir David Morgan is a Fraud

morganpowell11CJ’s Street Report is onto the good Sheriff and his claim to knighthood. Proven that his status with the OOSJ is not what is said to be, I wonder how the HONORABLE Sheriff would comment on this. Of course, we are not surprised he lied about this. He seems to have a penchant for falsehoods. The Billings Murders for example. It was a “humdinger” with multiple agency involvement but it becomes a simple home invasion robbery.  The laws of logic hold that these two contradictory premises cannot be true at the same time.

Morgan’s shiny medals and his jury tampering are all hits to his integrity, not to mention the evidence he tampered with his own election as Sheriff.  Statements of people within his inner circle once upon a time, like:

“About 3 months into Morgans administration I began to feel that a grave mistake had happened by electing Morgan.  I began seeing a shady side that worried me.  When he ordered a Sergeant to find any evidence he could to put a man in jail that he had a serious problem with during his campaign It was a red flag for me.  The Sergeant reported later that he couldn’t get anything to arrest thus man, Morgan became upset.  I mean he was pretty mad.  Some time later, the Sergeant retired.  Whether he did so because he was passed over for lieutenant or was just tired if working I don’t know.  I truly believe Morgans action was unethical and possibly illegal… If you recall the former Sheriff in Okaloosa, who was arrested for racketeering I think, well he and Morgan were “good buddies in the Air Force”. Morgan thought so much if this guy (Charlie Morris) that he was going to send me and a team to study their organizational set up as a guide for Escambia. Morgan was upset over Morris’s arrest, he mourned for several days.”going to send me and a team to study their organizational set up as a guide for Escambia. Morgan was upset over Morris‘s arrest, he mourned for several days.

Other statements by David Craig on Panhandlepolitico.com as follows provided veiled threats such as:

I’m surprised that you would be so aggressive against a person that you consider to be either clairvoyant or able to influence exact election results.

By aggressive, he means in challenging his ethical behavior in his revocation by the FDLE of his law enforcement certification. http://www.panhandlepolitico.com/escambia-news/wrong-escambia-county-law-enforcement/#comment-14950

The video of Sir David’s take on the racial issues within the county as well as the “Super Predator” concept that is highly divisive in this culture. His entire tenure as Sheriff is just a farce. He is paramount to Barney Fife trying to run things. We all know how that turned out.

Don’t you want to be known as one of Morgan’s Merry Men?

10805719_10204342255690157_5612372976506644598_nMy Fellow Floridians, the time has come for all men to be vigilant & alert to charlatans. David Craig, Community Policing Coordinator/Communications Director/Major of the Escambia County Sheriff’s office is going to be starting his “crisis managing” by trying to fix yet another election. By his own words to Rick Outzen, he called Sheriff Morgan’s first victory spread with a HIGH degree of accuracy before anybody in the county voted.  An amazing feat such as this and of course, his high quality work on Doug Underhill’s campaign, set a pattern of activity that is sure to be re-surfacing here soon. Being a self-proclaimed “crisis manager” (which encompasses providing false information to the media under any one of his fictitious titles at the Sheriff’s department or just a renegade crook), should make Escambia County voters weary of any info coming from this puppet of Sheriff Morgan’s.  What is the old saying? He only lies when he talks.

It seems if you are an ethically challenged former certified officer who was neutered by FDLE for bad behavior, or a freaky sexual predator, you can get a job at the Sheriff’s office. Also if you are willing to brown nose enough about how pretty Sheriff Morgan is, he will create a job for you with hella-good pay (better than deputies) or he will create a job for your “girlfriend” like he did for Rick Outzen.  As long as you are ok with being Morgan’s bitch, you too can have a cushy job like David Craig or Sena Maddison. 

Sheriff Morgan & the Mannings: The Honorable David Morgan Knew All the Details

manning

This case just gets more deprecating the more facts that are released.  Two sources at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, confirm that the minors that were sexually assaulted by the Mannings and Sheriff Deputies, were the twin daughters of Leah Manning by a previous marriage. One of the 17 year old’s thought she was pregnant, presumably by one of the 2 deputies involved in this circus of a case. The same 2 sources have also confirmed that between 10 & 12 OTHER deputies, including 4 lieutenants and 1 commander, have participated in sexual activities with the Mannings. It is unknown how many of those deputies have had sexual contact or molested the teenage daughters.

The truth of the matter is this lifestyle is common knowledge and tolerated at the Sheriff’s department and the arrest of the 2 deputies was only prompted by a Gulf Coast Children’s Home Society tip about the pregnancy of the one of the teens. The child advocacy group’s their insistence on action being taken is the only reason this story ever broke. The depths of the Morgan knowledge is non-deniable as it is rumored he may also be a party to such a lifestyle which is completely legal as long as the participants are consenting and of age of consent. Unfortunately, this kind of sexual deviance tends to be progressive in the directions which it tends to advance. For example, there is higher probability of participation in pornographic videos, photos and other more salacious sexual predilections of which child exploitation and child pornography are on the periphery.

The fact that the Sheriff would not root out any and all deputies who may have violated the teens is one of the most reprehensible act and the aura of culpability around this Sheriff and his boys in blue cannot be tolerated. These are the public servants Escambia County citizens look to for safety. Would you trust your kids in their presence? I damn sure wouldn’t.

Is there any doubt why this Sheriff and his “Good Ole Boys” including his puppets Rick Outzen and David Craig along with Bill Eddins (who allows for this sort of behavior) should not be run out of town on a rail?  Rick Outzen won’t report on it and David Craig will try to minimize it while Bill Eddins sweeps it all under the rug.  C’mon Escambia County, wake up! Are you really going to re-elect these people?

Deviance Pensacola Style—-UPDATED

Mr. Morgan, Mr. Haines, Mr. Craig,

I think it’s time to put all the cards on the table. I have been reminded by quite a few of your colleagues that your aim is to destroy people who cross you. I have been warned you will do your damnedest to ruin me or discredit me. And I also know historically from the news, about how you set up and ruined former Dothan Police Chief, John Powell’s career with your collusion with Bill Eddins. It is not lost on me that during that case something seemed to change the course of the playing field. It appears at some point Mr. Eddins either got “cold feet” or somehow the “dropping of the other shoe” slowed his case. Don’t know what that was but, to be sure, I will find out.

Then there is your persecution of Rex Blackburn and Gene Valentino. Men who merely questioned your competency. In case you didn’t realize that we all have that right in this country but you use Mr. Haines and Mr. Craig to dirty their own hands in your missions to seek out destroy the “haters”.

I know about why you left the Air Force, how your wife played a role in that. I know about your step-children, Blaze & Rose, who willingly participated in “sexual racketeering” in my former hometown of Pensacola. I know about the so-called rocket explosion  you allege you saved people, but where strangely, your name was forgotten the official reports or in the media. I know you fancy yourself a TV star with those pearly whites and shiny metals.  I know about some crazy ass run around you plan on making to get Governor Scott to appoint Eric Haines, after your “win” this next election while you try to make your way into higher politics within the state.  I’m sure Mr. Craig’s clairvoyance, as he puts it, will be involved but know that will be under a microscope this time when the people of Pensacola are “assured of a win” before any votes have been cast. Again, remember you pissed off enough people Shiny Medal, Pearly White Mr. Morgan; there will be a microscope over your every action from this day forward–from the inside of your nest of corruption throughout the community.

So now that we know about you. I wanted give you some background on me. You seem to like to use people’s secrets to try to discredit them. I have no secrets Mr. Morgan but I have a hell of a colorful past. I didn’t grow up in house with a conventional family. My family was scary and dysfunction, at least on the Maddox side (which is the same Mattox family I think you recognize from the attorney in Tallahassee).

e35fa-sammys

I am the daughter of Jim Barnett, a man who ran numbers from Sammy Fiorella, founder of Sammy’s Gentlemen’s Club in Birmingham in the 1950’s. I am the niece ofMichael Maddox, who was deadly con man. He is probably the most colorful person in the family. God rest his soul. In 1985, he was a millionaire twice over (before and after serving 9 years in Terminal Island for RICO violations) in Los Angeles; he owned a business Goldex, Inc. He defrauded millions from people but he dabbled in other industries. He trafficked cocaine and arms within the Medellin Cartel. I can recall as a child, him flying into Birmingham without a call or anything-just out of nowhere with his son, who is my age. He rented a car and had to do business in Atlanta and New Orleans. He did them as day trips as to be home for dinner with my mother and I. His business partner in Atlanta, Maxy (Max Mermelstein) was the money man and he worked with another man Harry (Berkenthal). Both I know, now, were accountants for Pablo Escobar.His day trip to New Orleans was with Joey Marcello (son of Carlos Marcello). My uncle referred to himself jovially as a “Cocaine Cowboy“. It wasn’t until I was an adult I understood the fullness of that statement.

My mother worked for the Alexiou family in Birmingham. I was at the wedding of Hedy Alexiou to Carlos Levya Beltran (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Beltr%C3%A1n_Leyva). That is my history, or legacy as it were. I have never been arrested; I am not a sexual deviant but before you take any measure against me maybe you should consider who is still on my Christmas card list. Who remembers that sweet little girl I was with strawberry blonde hair and ponytails that people tried to protect. Hell, I had bodyguards when I was 8 years old. Please do some fact checking into these names. You will need good clearance as most of these people where in classified federal files, DEA, ATF, IRS. RICO violations brought most of them down but their families are still alive and well and love sitting down talking about the glory days of the their colorful pasts. So when you start trying to trump up some charges against me, which would absolutely make my day, you may want to consider the fallout. What did you say to Mr. Valentino, on that voicemail? Something about “a flak vest and helmet because there will be fireworks”.

PS

The point of this post was supposed to enlighten people on sexual deviance. It doesn’t simply spring up. People don’t have kids that just up and decide to be porn stars. There is usually abuse, exposure or a certain amount of condoned behavior that leads to these things. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and when you see how rotten the apple is, you must question the nature of the tree it came from.

This point also ties in with the actions of the subordinates under Morgan. Just as children reflect their parents to some degree. It is reasonable to say that employees only fall under the standards to which they are kept. Morality is obvious absent in these deputies.  So what deviancy are they following?  To the naysayers, children and subordinates acting in the same fashion, morally corrupt and absent of discipline cannot be 2 coincidences under the same fine leadership. It appears to be a pattern of behavior. We are judged by the fruit that we bear. Mr. Morgan, your fruit, both of your home and office, stinks. Common sense can lead to the conclusion of what that fruit says about the tree.

Can You Hear That?

If you get real still you can hear it, the sound of the bellows coming from the Sheriff’s office. I have been “poking the bear” for a couple of weeks now. I started with Rick Outzen, David Morgan’s mouthpiece and his Public Records Officers.  Then with my article on PanhandlePolitico.com, “What is Wrong with Escambia County Law Enforcement? 

The Dastardly Davids are in an uproar. Eric Haines, Escambia County Chief Deputy was a bit bent out of shape at what he said in another article in the PNJ, which I used for this article. But here’s the thing?  Why get so upset? People do this all the time. I’m just pointing out the obvious. Working under the reign of Sir Morgan, has proven to be a joke. If he had not created his own caricature, no one could use it against him. Mr. Craig is evidently too busy playing with his drone invading the privacy of the residents of Pensacola privacy to notice he was getting looked at under a microscope.

Some people are so enthralled with their own “greatness” that they fail to see what is around them. I think this has been the case here.

Pensacola Uprising

It has been brought to my attention that the climate in Pensacola regarding Sheriff David Morgan (I like to call him “The Media Whore”, but that’s just me) and Sleazy Bill Eddins (Again that is my thoughts, I think we are still allowed to say opinions, right?).  It seems their arrogance and overconfidence in the GOB (Good Ole Boy) System makes them remarkably reckless. Now everybody knows Morgan pisses people off with his complete ethical disregard of standards over his deputies or for that matter any amount of oversight and supervision. Let’s just thing of the man with 15 bullet holes in his car in his own driveway in the middle of the night, purely in error or the little boy on a bicycle in Brownsville that was tasered by a moving patrol car that then ran over the boy as he fell to the ground again when the boy, just as the man in his yard was guilty of nothing provable.

Then Mr. Eddins…well what can I say….he is a political glutton with no conscious who falls in alignment with whatever his cronies tell him to including falsifying grand juries that did not take place. I am referring to the testimony supposedly given in Patrick Gonzalez Jr.s  trial. He interviewed Frederick Thornton without counsel or recording said interview took notes to the grand jury without documentation in the presence of Corey Aittama, his lead investigator. Now this grand jury with no testimony documented or witnesses taken from the jail was given to David Rimmer who was “acting” as the judge over the grand jury “to fill a vacancy” but it’s ok because Nick Geeker approved it. To me, in Pensacola, no one’s word can be trusted. It seems to me that this grand jury—IF IT DID TAKE PLACE– was a mockery of justice with the conspirators involved calling the shots. Either way that indictment should not have been granted; it was absent of justice and with no indictment, it seems like anything that proceeded from the fruit of that fake planted palm is non-existent.

Then you have David Craig, the stoner, who either is not supervised himself or acting in direct collusion screwing with press releases, leaking a timeline and suspects that Deputy Tama Barber testifies were never developed at that point they appeared on the CNN. Being the Community/Communication Director for the Sheriff’s office, it would seem like Mr. Craig has some “splaining” to do.

But even in the face of all this, Morgan leaves County Commissioner Gene Valentino a threatening voicemail which has to do with the jail being taken from under his control. By the way, has anyone thought of the fact, the jail being under Commission control and “exploding” may or may not have been a veiled threat from our fine Sheriff? Seems convenient to show that the jail was in the commission’s “reckless” hands. It was a ploy that ultimately by an “act of God” got the Lenny Gonzalez’s van destroyed due to water contamination. Kinda hard to prove that wasn’t the van used in the Billing’s murder if it has been destroyed and the actual van disappeared that was found at the weigh station.

I think ex-Sheriff McNesby and the many other people like John Powell and maybe former deputy Chris Baggett Sheriff Morgan stupidly crossed in his misguided God complex should bond together. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and it seems there are so many of them.  Mr. Morgan, maybe you should get a flak helmet…there’s gonna be blood in the water.
