Now, remember that I had been given a one-page computer summary this past Tuesday that pretty much gave me “zero” in actual details of the event that remained in the Courthouse files. I have attached that one page for all to see. All it really shows is the actual charge and the law the charge was based on. I thought I had a big nothing.
But I put on my reading glasses anyway and took a closer look at the fine print. Something I have learned to do. Check the fine print and the details. That is where they hide the truth in Cleveland County, North Carolina. Maybe other places too.
The charge was “Assaulting a law enforcement ANIMAL.” Animal?? Nobody in their right mind would assault a fully trained Police Dog-Animal!!! Gnashing teeth and all. The real charge that all the news was talking about was NOT assaulting a Police Officer as the false narrative said. Not a real Person Police Officer. The charge was for assaulting a law enforcement ANIMAL. A Police DOG!
Of course, then, I had to look up that law as quickly as possible. I smelt a rat in all this obvious fabrication!!!
North Carolina General Statute 14-163(d) says in part that any person… “who willfully taunts, teases, harasses, delays, obstructs, or attempts to delay or obstruct the animal in the performance of its duty as a law enforcement agency animal, an assistance animal, or a search and rescue animal is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.” But don’t believe me. I have also attached this law in its entirety at the end of this article for all to see.
So, it looks like the Shelby Police Department did indeed charge Irving Fenner, Jr. with assaulting a law enforcement ANIMAL, NOT a law enforcement OFFICER-not an actual human police officer person- as the local news media was putting out. Over and over and over again. Around the USA even.
. They, Shelby and SPD Chief Jeff Ledford are caught red-handed telling a lie about Irving Fenner, Jr being such a dangerous person who goes around assaulting police officers. This also validates my sources who told me this “Woof. Woof, Woof” version of the story in the first place.
The lesson here is the Shelby Police Department, apparently to harass a young black man, twisted and turned the law in such a way to cook-up a false charge on Irving Fenner, Jr. and arrested him on July 14, 2009. The court date on this charge was December 3, 2009. Likely meaning that Fenner spent six months in jail awaiting trial on this cooked up charge. Is it any wonder why the black community, especially young black men, don’t trust Police Officers? Then and NOW!
And why should they? The SPD and Shelby Mayor and Council have been caught in a lie in the Fenner narrative-making up stories about his criminal record. What else would they lie about? Everything apparently. Especially After I just sat through Shelby City Manager Rick Howell’s many lies in his Motion to Dismiss Willie Green’s lawsuit against him. A motion that Superior Court Judge W. Todd Pomeroy denied because Howell acted with malicious or criminal intent. Thus, killing any immunity defense.
Stay tuned folks. The story doesn’t get any better for Shelby’s “finest,” Shelby’s Mayor and everybody in between.
Also, Article 7 of this sad saga is on the way. Make sure your blood pressure medication prescription is up to date, filled and within arm’s length. You will need it. And soon!
Editor’s Note Part II: Also, a question for today-July 9,2020. Where are all those protesters who want to take down the Confederate Soldiers Memorial on the Shelby Court Square `kjregarding this issue of the Shelby Police, as well as the DA’s Office, on the harassment of a young black man??? They are totally silent on this issue, much less on the holding in jail five people of color for three years without a trial or conviction. So, what can give credibility to the sincerity or justification or justice of these “fair weather protesters” cause?? None that I can see.
Stay tuned for Article 7. And stay calm if you can!
Here is the Proof!!
