The local media outlets won't notify the community about things that actually matter in Marion County. They’ll tell you a lady is suing Publix because she slipped, or that they opened a skate park.

But they will NOT tell you that the Mayor, the Chief of Police, and a plethora of command staff and officers were just served by Federal Marshals at City Hall and OPD Headquarters. They are all named in the same federal lawsuit.

If you didn't know, the City and the Police Department are already under a permanent federal injunction from 2021. For the last year and a half, I have become a forensic technician on how the Ocala Police Department operates. I have studied their policies, their history, their foundation, and how they are structured. I cracked a code most of us don’t understand.

When I built my complaint, I did everything a lawyer said not to do. At the end of the day, a lot of lawyers just want to bill you or drag a case out. Most only practice one layer of law. I built a case that silos multiple interlocking layers of different laws.

Their job is to make suing the police impossible because of Qualified Immunity. In my situation, the police literally lied in document after document. I feel like it is like this in every case, but we are usually just too tired to do the homework.

I am not a lawyer. I don’t practice law. But when you mess with me when you shouldn’t have, it brings something out of a person. I turned my rage into procedure. Regardless of what anyone says, I don’t have a GED or a diploma—but I was able to build an 8-count Federal Complaint navigating some of the most complicated federal laws on the books.

It didn’t happen overnight. It took stress, depression, and absolute obsession.

All I ask as a member of this community is that you don’t let this go over your heads. The criminal charges against me were completely dropped (Nolle Prosequi). People still tried to make me out to be the bad guy and claimed I was lying, but I went through all the proper procedures. I filed this federal complaint, a Federal Judge granted my motion to proceed Pro Se, and the court has taken judicial notice of my dropped charges.

The media refuses to cover this because the only time high-ranking officials are named in lawsuits like this is when the FBI or DOJ steps in—never by one of us. The local outlets are ignoring it despite the server metadata, the video, the audio recordings, and the documents presented by the defendants themselves.

The only thing I can do now is reach out to the people and fight my fight in court. Here are the active counts in the federal complaint:

COUNT I– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Fourth Amendment Unreasonable Seizure / False Arrest)
COUNT II– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Fourth Amendment Excessive Force)
COUNT III– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Malicious Prosecution / Unlawful Legal Process)
*COUNT IV– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Fourteenth Amendment Due Process – Use of Materially Unreliable or Post-Hoc Evidence)
COUNT V– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Municipal Liability – Monell Custom/Policy)
COUNT VI– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Supervisory Liability – Deliberate Indifference and Ratification)
COUNT VII– 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (Race-Based Interference with Making and Enforcement of Contracts)
COUNT VIII– 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (First Amendment – Viewpoint Discrimination / Retaliatory Exclusion)

This is a fight I have to walk through ALONE , but I ask that you guys share this because it is real, it is active, and it is happening right here in Ocala.
