POLICE MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT: GREEN COVE POLICE DEPARTMENT , , 32043 VICTIM: JESSICA MEREDITH OFFICER’S NAME: CHANEY REASON FOR COMPLAINT: UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT MAKING INSULTING REMARKS VICTIM’S NARRATIVE: MY SISTER, MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE THREATENED BY A GUY NAMED JUSTIN LACKEY. HIM AND MY SISTER GOT INTO A FIGHT WHERE HE CAME TO MY HOUSE AND WAS CUSSING UP A STORM TO WHERE MY NEIGHBORS COULD SEE AND HEAR AND WAS BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND MY SISTER. HE STARTED GETTING MAD AT ME AND CUSSING ME OUT BECAUSE I SAID THAT HE WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO ME. WE DECIDED TO GO GET MY SISTERS STUFF FROM HIS HOUSE, BECAUSE SHE WAS LIVING THERE AT THE TIME, AND WE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BURN HER BELONGINGS LIKE HE HAS DONE BEFORE. WE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE BEST THAT WE CALL THE GREEN COVE SHERIFFS OFFICE AND ASK FOR AN OFFICER TO MEET US THERE. WHEN THE OFFICER ARRIVED HE ASKED WHO CALLED AND I TOLD HIM THAT I DID BUT THAT IT WAS FOR MY SISTER, WHO WAS WITH US. HE WENT AND TALKED TO JUSTIN'S MOTHER WHO WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE BY THEN. WHEN HE GOT BACK TO US HE ASKED KEVIN, MY BOYFRIEND, WHY HE DIDN'T LIKE JUSTIN, INDICATING THAT HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM THAT KEVIN AND HIM HAVE PROBLEMS. KEVIN SAID THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JUSTIN, JUST THAT JUSTIN HAS A SMART MOUTH AND HAS BEEN DISRESPECTFUL TO HIM, AND ME. THEN THE OFFICER SAID THAT HE'S NOT JUSTIN'S FATHER AND THAT THAT IS NOT HIS BUSINESS. WHY WOULD THE OFFICER ASK A QUESTION, AND MAKE A SMART REMARK ABOUT WHAT THE ANSWER IS, AND IT IS MY BOYFRIENDS PROBLEM IF JUSTIN WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO HIM. THE OFFICER TOLD ME, KEVIN (MY BOYFRIEND) AND ELIZABETH (BRITTANY'S FRIEND) TO SIT IN THE CAR AND LET BRITTANY GO IN TO GET HER BELONGINGS WITH HIS MOTHER MAKING SURE SHE DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT HER POSESSIONS. THE OFFICER THEN GOES AND TALKS TO JUSTIN AND HIS MOTHER LIKE THEY ARE OLD FRIENDS, WHICH I COME TO FIND OUT THEY ARE. THE OFFICER AND JUSTIN HAVE BEEN ACQUAINTED BEFORE, AND THE OFFICER KNOWS JUSTINS DAD. BRITTANY TELLS ME THAT JUSTIN HAS HER DEBIT CARD AND TO ASK TO GET IT FROM HIM, SO SHE GOES INSIDE AND I TELL THE OFFICER THAT HE HAS HER DEBIT CARD, AND HE SAYS, WELL WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME, AND I SAID I DONT KNOW. BASICALLY THE OFFICER WAS BEING RUDE TO ME, MY SISTER, ELIZABETH, MY BOYFRIEND KEVIN, AND MY MOTHER WHEN MY MOTHER SHOWED UP TO PICK UP BRITTANY AND ELIZABETH, HER FRIEND, BECUASE ALL OF HER BALONGINGS WERE IN MY CAR. THE COP SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, AND MY MOTHER SAID, THESE ARE MY CHILDREN, AND HE SAID CAN'T YOU SEE I HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL ( AS JUSTIN WALKED IN SIDE ALONE WITH BRITTANY, AFTER HE SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THAT JUSTIN WAS NOT TO BE INSIDE ANYWHERE NEAR BRITTANY). I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINS OFFICER/DEPUTY CHANEY. HIS CAR NUMBER ON THE FRONT SAYS 141, AND HIS CAR IS A PALATKA COUNY POLICE CAR. MR. CHANEY WAS LAUGHING, CRACKING UP AND HAVING A GOOD OL TIME WITH JUSTIN AND HIS MOTHER, WHILE HE WOULD TURN AROUND AND BE RUDE TO ME, AND MY GROUP. THAT IS EXTREMELY UNCALLED FOR SEEING AS HOW WE WERE THE ONES THAT WERE THREATENED AND HOW WE WERE THE ONES WHO CALLED FOR HIS SERVICE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOW BEFORE HAND THEN I WOULD HAVE REQUESTED A DIFFERENT OFFICER TO PERFORM THE TASK. DEPUTY/OFFICER CHANEY WAS VERY INAPROPRIATE AND RUDE. INJURIES IF ANY LISTED BELOW: NO WEAPONS WERE USED EVERYTHING WAS VERBAL
