He stated that an old man has been sitting <br />in a truck outside his laundromat. He suspects this man is involved in covert undercover <br />investigations. He is not sure if this man is working for the police, but it looks like he has police <br />backing because police in marked cars have been following him. This man sent two kids after him, <br />one broke into his soap machine and the other tried to run him over. The man came into his <br />laundromat twice wearing dark glasses and a coat zipped to the top. This man has four different <br />vehicles and has followed him to Sack N Save, the bank, Ace Hardware, and the dump. A van with <br />a periscope has been watching his place. He feels intimidated and harassed. He complained to <br />the police many times about this man. He has licenses, dates, times. <br />Commissioner Williams inquired as to whether the complaint was against the department or the <br />man in the truck. <br />Mr. Starbuck stated that he is not sure. The police won't take his complaint against the old man in <br />the truck, but they took his complaint against the kids. <br />Vice Chair Manago stated that they can forward this to the proper channels, to Chief Correa, and <br />he can forward it to the proper person. <br />Commissioners Mills stated that although he has not identified a particular officer, he has not been <br />serviced by the officers he contacted. <br />
