ACTIONS OF STATE TROOPERS UNDER INVESTIGATION


Polk: The state's top law enforcement officers are this month investigating allegations made in a letter recently sent to the Governor's office and several new agencies. The letter, which mentions a variety of claims was partially printed in our last issue. The current investigation centers on the least outlandish of the claims made in the letter, virtually ignoring suggestions that the state is home to secret underground bases conducting genetic research on missing children, illegal searches by black suited men with automatic weapons, weather manipulation, and global depopulation measures. According to the Iowa Public Safety Commissioner an internal investigation is being made into unnecessary displays of force and bullying methods used by state and county patrolmen in Pottawattamie County when apprehending trespassers on private property.

     For several years there have been reports of "strange" lights in the sky in that part of Iowa, and since the early seventies there have been what locals refer to as "cow mutilations" or "horse rippings". Officials claim that this sort of local mythology attracts "kooks with no respect for authority and an open contempt for the law."

     In Nanson, Cory Wilson claimed that last month eight troopers stopped his car and searched it while two other troopers held him at gunpoint running some sort of electrical scanning device over his clothes. He said his video camera was confiscated and all his video tapes were burned in front of him. He said, "A prisoner transport van arrived on the scene, but apparently nothing of any consequence was discovered, because they let me go. They were all very gruff and unprofessional."

     There have been other recent reports of harassment and wrongful arrest complaints, but none have come to court as of this printing, pending the completion of the official probe.
