Pete, you are the only one on this board that HAS been convicted of a crime and seved jail time that I know of. Obviously, a criminal conviction and jail time does not even prevent one from running for sheriff! Leave it alone.

Pete, you are the only one on this board that HAS been convicted of a crime and seved jail time that I know of. Obviously, a criminal conviction and jail time does not even prevent one from running for sheriff! Leave it alone. I was convicted for a crime that I did not commit. The crime was a four second trespass on a vacant lot based on the testimony of the primary suspect to the felonious burglary, and $22,000.00 vandalism of my home, and a man who was a party to the crime, and illegally sold cars on the public street with the permission of both the Sheriff, and the MSP. The evil Judge Sause sentenced me to 90 days in jail, and placed me on 2 years supervised probation, and denied me permission to attend my youngest grandsons christening. While in jail the Deputies told the other prisoners that I was a retired Police Officer, and the prisoners told me what Deputies are on the take for drug money. While in jail my wife videoed the car thief on my my property 5 times, and the crooked States Attorney's Office refused to charge him. Even if were guilty the punishment surely didn't fit the crime. This is just the tip of the iceberg my friend. These corrupt persons in authority will have to kill me to shut me up. |

harleyd, I've brought it up many times on this forum with the following official unanswered letter to the Governor.
1 of 4
Governor Robert Ehrlich, 9/17/04
Sir,
We are coming to you as citizens victimized by a system totally out of control in Queen Anne’s County. The arrogance in this good old boy system is a disgrace. It’s common knowledge there is a double standard when it comes to justice in Queen Anne’s County. We are praying you receive this letter, and acknowledge it’s time for someone in government to stand tall. No citizen should be forced to move from their home, by criminals, with the protection of the authorities.
After working two jobs for over twenty years we moved from Baltimore to Kent Island. We had a house built, and a week before we were to move in our first new home, the house was burglarized, and methodically vandalized to the amount of $22,000.00 in damage. Sheriff Deputies advised us that the neighbors were the culprits, and assured us they would solve the case. At this point in time the case is still open, the Sheriff refuses to turn the investigation over to the State Prosecutors Office, or the State Police. On paper MSP Det. Sgt. Mitch Park states that Sheriff Crossley is willing to turn the investigation over, but has lost all the reports. The reports were found under the freedom of information act, and were not the original reports. This burglary is a felony, intended to run us out of the neighborhood. Why would the Sheriff not want to solve this case?
Witnesses observed Mr. Zonetti 101 EMORY Circle along with Mark Xander 105 Emory Circle on our rear porch several days before the burglary. They were casing the door that was removed from its frame, to gain entrance to the house. The burglary caused a six-month delay in our occupation of our house. Sheriff Crossley refuses to investigate after pointing out the neighbors as the burglars. Sheriff Sonny Jones caught the Xander’s sixteen-year-old son Jason, and a cousin stealing lumber from our property, one week after the burglary. A month earlier Jason was arrested by the MSP for stealing cigarettes at a gas station. Both the Xander boys were involved in the vandalism of another home in the neighborhood. However, I was notified in writing that the States Attorney Chip Gregory, deemed the trespass, and larceny of our lumber was not worthy of the courts time.
Prior to the burglary the other neighbors informed us that the oldest Xander son Chris, terrorizes the neighborhood with his extremely loud drum playing. A survey of the property line revealed the Xander driveway, and drainage ditch were on our property. Our solution for these problems would have pleased anyone desiring to be a good neighbor. We offered to give the Xanders the money to insulate their garage for sound. Then Chris could play 24 – 7, and not bother anyone. A survey of the property line revealed the Xander driveway, and drainage ditch were on our property As to the property line, and their use of our property, we advised the Xanders they could take their time, but to have it done before we move in, and I offered my labor if they needed it. Mark Xander refused my offer to insulate. The next day our home was burglarized.
All the evidence points to the Saia’s, the Xanders’s, and the Zonetti’s as involved in the burglary. At this point in time we decide to handle the problem by calling the Sheriff’s Department. But to our disbelief, Sheriff Deputies encouraged Chris to play louder. Deputy Chris Layton stuck his finger in my wife’s face and ordered her not to call again. From this point on our treatment by authorities has been nothing less than disgraceful.
As with the whistle blower, he who points out the problem becomes the problem. Joe Zonetti had for sale, on the public street, a pick-up displaying Delaware plates that were expired for more than four years, while displaying a current sticker, listed to a garage owner in Downingtown Pa., and having a history of sale from New York to Florida. Lt. Paul Kelley MSP warned Zonetti to move the truck, because I made a complaint. There were other serious tag and title cases, illegal sale of numerous vehicles, and the operation of unlicensed, and uninsured vehicles on the street, with the protection of the police. This information was put over the air on talk radio, WCBM Bobby Berger Show. State Police have stated that my picture has been seen on the barrack walls, and that my wife and I have being targeted. The profit from the illegal vehicle trade, is only exceeded by that of the illegal drug trade
The Xander home burned to the ground in twelve minutes due to a suspicious fire. Investigators stated an accelerant stored under the front porch caused the quick burn, leaving their property vacant. I was charged with trespassing on this vacant lot for four second or less. Mr. Joe Saia 104 Emory Circle testified that from five hundred and fifty feet (nearly tow football fields), while standing on his porch behind a weeping willow tree, and threw nine eight-foot lea land cypress trees, over the invisible property line that was perpendicular to his location, for four seconds or less. Saia is a primary suspect in the burglary of our home. I reported Saia for his illegal operation of a construction company from a residential residence, in violation of the zoning laws. I also reported his son Brian, a cocaine addict, with a violent record of assaults, for illegally parking untagged vehicles on the public street, and for storing commercial vehicles at the State run park and ride. The MSP did nothing with the untagged vehicles on the street, and ticketed every violation at the park and ride, except the Saia vehicle. Brian also threatened my eighty five year old father, a WWII veteran, and retired policeman with physical violence, which according to court commissioner Mrs. Ikes, is not a crime. Frightened by this dope addicts physical threats, my father moved for his own protection. The other witness against me was Matthew Schuster who was running a car lot from his home. Schuster admitted he did not know where the property line was, but that I went over the line for four seconds or less. Schuster sold and operated untagged, uninsured, unregistered vehicles, displaying expired foreign tags from as far away as Texas, and Florida, with the permission of the MSP. My wife and a totally disinterested person, who I had never met, testified I never trespassed. Judge Clark found me guilty, and imposed the maximum fine possible. I appealed the decision to Judge John Sause who sentenced me to ninety days in jail, the maximum fine, placed me on two years supervised probation, and ordered me not to have any contact with the neighbors.
While in jail the Sheriff Deputies advised the other inmates that I was a retired Baltimore City Policeman. Prior to this obvious injustice I never had as much as parking ticket on my record. During my incarceration for a crime I did not commit, my wife videoed Schuster trespassing on our property five times, The States Attorney Chip Gregory refused to prosecute. Every time Schuster cut his grass he would trespass onto my property. The Xanders would also trespass every time they cut their grass, and their basketball hoop was located three foot from the property line. We have had hundreds of illegal trespasses on our property by the neighbors, their friends, vehicles, and animals. I videoed Chris Xander stealing our property stakes. You could hear the stakes striking the concrete as he threw them into his garage. Judge Clark ruled that my testimony, and video of the crime amounted to an insufficient identification. Mark Xander dumped a truckload of dirt on our property. We filed a complaint with the court, and the States Attorney would not take the case to court, stating” Judge Clark would not find anyone guilty of something so silly”. We received this notice after we sat in the courtroom for six hours.
While on probation I was refused permission to leave the state to attend my youngest grandsons Christening, by Judge John Sause. I own property, have a pension, have family, and a business in the State Of Maryland. I am not a flight risk. The punishment handed out by Judge Sause is beyond comprehension. No one has ever been punished so severely for such a minor infraction. So why me, and my family?
Soon after getting out of jail I met Mr. E.J.Pipkin while he was campaigning for the Senate. He told me what I wanted to hear, and we parted with his promise for help. When elected Senator E.J.Pipkin advised me to call his office. I spoke with Mrs. Theresa Goddard who was in sympathy with our outrageous treatment by the local government, and the justice system. In detail I explained the problems in this letter, and many more not mentioned, but just as disgusting. One of Mrs. Goddard’s promises was to arrange a meeting with Col. E. Norris, to ascertain why his men refused to enforce the law.
Due to my seemingly aggressive voice I advised Mrs. Goddard I was naturally loud, ant to stop me if she had a problem. At no time did I have a problem with Mrs. Goddard who was flabbergasted by Judge Sause’s decision not to permit me to attend my grandson’s christening. At the end of our conversation Mrs. Goddard stated she had no problems with my behavior. A good example would be Sgt. Kristi Meakins MSP. I had the same conversation with her, and several other high-ranking female secretaries.
While waiting for a meeting with Col. Norris the MSP made an official visit to my home. I was ordered not to go to work until I obtain a license from the MSP for my business. When in actuality no license was necessary. I was threatened with a $5,000.00 a day fine, and told I was not qualified for the license. At the Waterloo Barrack I learned that the complaint against me was given anonymously to Lt. Gary Foster, which is impossible. There would be proof if the complaint came by phone, fax, or US Mail. If the complaint were in person, Lt. Foster would have a paper trail. He has none. When assigned to the Centreville Barrack Lt. Foster condoned his men not enforcing the law. I took my complaint over his head.
After a heated debate with the supervisors over the law, no conclusion was reached, even though the law said I did not need the license. Later that day TFC Laura Childress advised me her supervisors are requiring the license, there would be no fines, and they would help me do the paperwork. An appointment was made for the following week to meet with Captain Satchell.
Mrs. Goddard was advised of the situation, and faxed my son a copy of the law. Armed with the law that agrees with me, and two witnesses, we met with Capt. Satchell of the Waterloo Barrack. Capt. Satchell questioned Lt. Foster who changed his story. The anonymous complainant was Sgt. Earl Beville. Beville and Foster are long time friends, on, and off the job. In black and white the law states that I do not need to be licensed. However, MSP found it necessary to go to their lawyers, who went to Annapolis, before they would admit I did not violate any laws.
Shortly after the license threat Senator Pipkin informed me I had to see Capt. Marty Knight of the Centreville Barrack before I could see Col. Norris. We went to this meeting with our son, and a witness. Captain Knight advised the illegal vehicle sales was nothing, “it’s only someone trying to earn a few bucks”. He drew the line when it came to selling drugs to kids for a few extra bucks. As for Sgt. Earl Beville illegally using his authority to try to run us out of business. The Captain stated, ”It wasn’t Sgt. Beville, it was Senator Pipkin, he ordered the Sergeant to get something on you”. We walked out of the meeting, and I immediately called Mrs. Goddard who was at a loss for words, and totally caught off guard. She advised that the Senator never talked to Sgt. Beville. The Senator advised us that he’s done all he could do. That he asked Sgt. Beville for the proper protocol for a meeting with Col. Norris, and nothing else. That he, and his staff had nothing to do with the complaint against my business, and agreed to put it on paper for us. He did so.
I made an official complaint to the MSP in reference to criminal charges against everyone concerned in this illegal attempt to ruin my livelihood. With only few witnesses to interview, it took nearly one year to complete. At this point in time they say no one did anything wrong, the case is closed, and I am not entitled to copies of the reports, which are public record. This enables the MSP to rewrite a report if they choose, and casts a large shadow over their integrity. I volunteered to undergo a polygraph examination in reference to my allegations. They refused my request.
Mrs. Goddard long after the fact reported she was scared of me, feared for her life, and asked Sgt. Beville to check if I had a gun permit. Beville is required to file an official report, and he didn’t. Mrs. Goddard is required to report threats to the building Police for her protection, and the others in the building. She did not. I was seeking help from the Senator, why would I threaten a person who I think is helping me? Also, I volunteered to submit to a polygraph examination.
Governor we are asking for your help in our fight for justice. It has been an eye opening experience that cost us our life’s savings fighting for justice in a corrupt system. I am a retired decorated Baltimore City Policeman, who retired due to a line of duty injury. My security business has contracted to the same company for over twenty-three years without one complaint. What a disgrace to every man who died fighting for this country. As Governor you have the power to correct a grave injustice, as did others below your rank, but they lacked the courage. How evil is Judge Sause to send an innocent man to jail for a four second trespass on a vacant lot, by a witness five hundred and fifty feet away (almost two foot ball fields). Denying us the ability to gather as a family for a sacred, once in a lifetime religious event, is just plain common. Had Senator Pipkin and the MSP succeeded in their attempt to cost us our livelihood, we would have been forced from our home. We went to the Senator for help. Now we need your help.
Governor you can help us by referring the burglary, and vandalism of our home over to The State Prosecutors Office, under the supervision of Chief Investigator Mr. James Cabezas. We want a proper investigation, and the people responsible for this crime brought to justice.
Tape is of our verbal complaint taken by the MSP 7/11/03 enclosed.
Respectfully,
Mr. & Mrs. Charles (Pete)E. Richter Jr.
109 Emory Circle, Stevensville, Md. 21666 410-643-0286
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Pete, this is by far the most egregious thread and posts you have made. I believe you owe an apology to the Kent Island Community, the law enforcement agencies, and especially to the young lady whom you felt so compelled to name. Public record or not, it is in extremely bad taste for you to post that. You are passing judgment and making false accusations before even knowing all of the facts. Haven’t you been complaining for years that people in this County have done the same to you and you were a victim of this? If you and others are so unhappy here, go! No one will stop you. Keep moving east. I hear the Azores are nice……

freefallin, I owe no one an apology. Especially the law enforcement agencies.......My friend could you please be more specific as to why you think I owe an apology? Also, please show me where the female victim is named in this thread.

Deputy Sgt. Dennis Hofmann has been taken off of suspension, and returned to full duty with his gun, badge, car, and full police powers. At this time he is under indictment in Cecil County for sexually assaulting Deputy Sheriff Kristi Murphy Taylor. The arrest of Dennis was made by the MSP. Apparently the MSP lied to get the indictment. What's your take on this? Since you're stirring this up again, explain what you mean when you state "Apparently the MSP lied to get the indictment." It is in two quotes in this thread that you started. You edited her name out of the first post that you started after you were called out on it. You are a piece of work Pete a true politician and a B.S. artist. Get over it and stop your whining! |

Not Pete Richter. pete... I am upset that the name of the either party is all over the news. I'm also upset that both the name of the accused and the name of the victim appeared on this forum BEFORE either was in the news. On its face your post that I quoted sounds pretty reasonable; however, that wasn't your first post. "Not Pete Richter."The timeline on this is interesting. On 26 August news of the arrest appeared in several articles in the press. According to the MD Case Search, the charges were filed on 23 August. The articles quote the prosecutor as saying he became aware of the incident "about three weeks ago," so maybe 1 August. You, Pete, posted about this incident, including the name of the accused, on 13 July, about two weeks before the prosecutor claims to have become aware of it, about six weeks before charges were filed, and a little more than six weeks before the name appeared in the press. Not Pete Richter? After the first and second threads about this incident got out of hand, we asked that the topic be closed. You answered by thumbing your nose at us and starting at least one more thread about it. Now you have started this thread which provides no additional information other than the accuser's name. It is no surprise then that this keeps finding its way into the news. Not Pete Richter? The name of the accuser/victim has never appeared in the press as far as I can tell. You, Pete, posted links to a number of articles about this arrest and others posted more but in none of them did her name appear. It was in the first post of this thread, which you edited last Friday morning, that you revealed her name. It's unfortunate for you that editing your post doesn't automatically change the posts that quoted yours. Stop trying to rewrite history. Not Pete Richter? I will be editing her name out of the posts that quoted yours in order to get the name off this forum. But, I'm sure I am not the only one that has a copy saved in a local file to check back on in case someone attempts to rewrite history again. I suspect you are in this up to your elbows but I have no proof of that. I don't know if you met with the accuser, spoke with her over the phone, or interacted with her through a mutual acquaintance. But I do know you broke the news before the prosecutor claims to have been aware of it and you work hard to keep it on the forum. As the saying goes..... Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. |

Not Pete Richter. I am not upset about it because it's none of my business nor is it yours. And now your saying he's innocent until proven guilty after you brought all this to light to drag him thru the mud? The victims behind the charges and I believe that you were the one to advise her to push it. You were seen with her and you are the one who got the media involved. All because of a grudge against the Hoffman's and for political gain. You are a true politician and full of it!! I love hearing a child telling an adult to grow up ;D |

Pete, is this how you would handle yourself as Sheriff? You managed to hijack your own thread and turn it from badmouthing incumbent officers to complaining about the injustices done to YOU.
If you were elected Sheriff you would never get a case to trial because you would not be able to keep your mouth shut long enough for a trial to happen. You would spout off about something or other, judges would constantly declare mistrials due to your inability to control yourself and Queen Anne's County would be a legal shambles. I would guarantee that there is more to the supposed injustices you have suffered than is being told in your spam. But the others involved in your "case" have the class to let it be.
Lastly, it's "lying", not lieing. For what it's worth, cases are sometimes thrown out for technicalities such as spelling. You might want to brush up on that before the next election as well......

falgar.......I never met, talked, or corresponded with the victim in any way ,shape, or form. If you or anyone else has any evidence what so ever to prove otherwise please feel free to post it. My post that the brother was demoted for sexual harassment came after the demotion, and before the criminal charges. The criminal charges were posted after they became public record. How could I have known about the demotion, and the criminal charges before they occured?.......With all the replies on this thread it seems that people are interested on what's going on.
