Captain James Flavin Internal Affairs San Antonio Police Department 315 S. Santa Rosa San Antonio, Texas 78207 RE: Dispatcher and Officer Misconduct

Dear Captain Flavin:

This letter serves as a formal complaint and request for investigation into San Antonio Police Department

officer and dispatcher misconduct associated with my attempts to document criminal activity around my

address at 1006 Wyoming Street. As you know, I have been in litigation with the SAPD since 2014, when I

filed a federal constitutional lawsuit after being unlawfully arrested on Martin Luther King Day in 2013.

Since at least 2010, I have requested police intervention at a small apartment complex located at 315 S.

Olive. This apartment complex, owned by Dani Komlan, has been the site of blatant and persistent

organized crime activity, including prostitution, trafficking in minor girls, and the sale and distribution of

black tar heroin, crack, and other narcotics. Although I -- and others -- have alerted police to this criminal

enterprise dozens of times, and police officers and detectives have personally witnessed overt drug sales and

other criminal acts in my presence, Eastside officers have refused to intervene in any meaningful way. The

more I attempted to report the unconcealed criminal activity at 315 S. Olive, the more hostile and punitive

the SAPD officers and dispatchers grew against me. Criminals began circling my home, breaching my

security at will and making obvious, daytime attempts to do me harm. Calls to police would invariably cause

me to be subjected to all sorts of abuse, and officers would routinely cite constitutional protections to

explain why they would not intervene against this criminal enterprise. This is ironic, since I, a law abiding,

social advocate for poor and otherwise marginalized communities, have been arrested by your officers on

three separate occasions, each time in spite of ample evidence showing that I was the victim of a crime. This

police refusal to intervene at 315 Olive has allowed Mr. Komlan to expand his enterprise in the

neighborhood and he now has several safe houses, a stash house, and several homes and business used as

distribution points around the area. I know this because Mr. Komlan has not sought to hide it. He has

been given carte blanche by the corrupt officials of this city to do as he pleases, and he has not been shy about exerting that privilege.

My complaints to police officers have alerted Mr. Komlan and his associates to me and on several

occasions, overt attempts to attack me have been made by persons associated with Mr. Komlan. The

2

Federal Bureau of Investigation has deemed threats against my life as credible, and FBI special agents have

urged me to call police when I see suspicious and/or threatening behavior so that this activity may be

documented/investigated by police. However, SAPD officers and dispatchers have refused to adequately

document this activity. Instead, they have taken a bizarre and hostile stance on my attempts to document

this increasingly overt criminal activity against me in my own neighborhood.

The instant complaint is specifically against SAPD dispatchers Jimmy D. Tucker II and Randy A. Freeman.

In support of this complaint, I draw your attention to two calls for service: SAPD-2105-0462936 and SAPD-

2015-0472119. A history search (or survey) will reveal that I have interacted with both of these dispatchers

on several occasions.

First, Mr. Tucker and Mr. Freeman are extremely abusive, snide and unhelpful anytime I call dispatch to

report criminal activity against me. During these calls, they deliberately pretend to not understand what I am

saying, they often mischaracterize the information I am trying to report, and they preside over long silences

that do not occur when I am speaking to other dispatchers. This activity seems designed to and does, in

fact obscure the criminal activity emanating from 315 S. Olive from the police and public record. For this

reason alone, these dispatchers should be terminated.

I have complained to the SAPD for several years about concerted cyber attacks against my computer

network. As a result of those attacks, I have lost thousands of dollars of computer equipment and valuable

data. Those cyber attacks seem to be attempts to disrupt my efforts to document rampant corruption and

criminality within the Bexar County Courthouse and police ranks.

On or about May 16, 2015, a white van with Florida license plate CHT-T79 began parking in a spot in front

of my house that is a favored spot for vehicles attempting to disrupt my network. It returned the next day.

While the van was parked in front of my house, I was unable to print documents, visit certain websites, or

save valuable data on my computer. All of this has been conveyed to police and dispatchers. On May 18,

2015, I tracked the van to the Comfort Inn at 505 Live Oak. As instructed by the FBI, I called police so

that they could document the license plate and investigate the vans purpose in parking within range of my

network. A motley crew that appeared to be Spanish speaking Mexican nationals, an African American man

who appeared to be in the military and an Anglo man who appeared to be a lawyer frantically piled into the

van and fled the scene, even though I explained to them the police would be arriving with questions about

the van. After some time had passed, no officer had arrived. As I left the Comfort Inn, I saw an SAPD

officer parked in a vacant lot just a block away from the hotel talking on his personal phone.

About 30 minutes later, SAPD Officers Watson and then Vega arrived at my home. I gave them the license

plate, explained the circumstances, and as best I could, attempted to give them some of the historical

context behind these bizarre occurrences. Although Officer Watson was the first to arrive, Officer Vega

completely took over the conversation and interview. He appeared to be sincere, but he bore a striking

resemblance to the officer talking on his personal phone near the hotel. Additionally, he introduced themes

into the conversation that made me uncomfortable. He repeatedly mentioned the Black Hats, a term I

had never heard of. He wanted to know if I had proof that the van had ever parked in front of my home. I

3

showed him the picture I took of the van parked at my home and the one I took of the van parked at the

hotel. I watched as he correctly wrote down the license plate. He assured me he would look into the matter

and get back to me. However, the card he gave me had Officer Watsons name and badge number, not his.

I found that odd. He has not followed up as promised.

A few days later, I filed an online public information act request with the SAPD for the police report

associated with that incident. The SAPD is currently in violation of the state public information statute,

which requires that Texas agencies provide the requested material or seek an attorney generals opinion

within ten working days. On June 1, 2015, I personally visited the SAPD records department to request the

report for May 18, 2015. Both reports I was able to acquire were spurious in the extreme. They deliberately

omitted evidence and context, and slanderously characterized me as being delusional. Based on my prior

experiences with Freeman, Tucker and other SAPD officers, I was not surprised to see the flagrant falsifying

of investigatory police documents. Although both reports flagged me as psych, neither Mr. Tucker nor

Mr. Freeman is a psychiatrist. They are not even officers, as I understand it, and they have no investigatory

experience or investigatory or diagnostic mandate as dispatchers for the San Antonio Police Department.

That they would falsely characterize documented, real life threats as delusions is proof that the SAPD has

lost complete control of its employees. That loss of control has allowed an international criminal enterprise

to completely dominate a significant portion of this city.

To wit: Mr. Komlan claims to have run two international companies from his apartment at 315 S. Olive.

While addicts made daily treks to one apartment for their daily fix of heroin or crack, and underage girls

sauntered from another apartment to cruise Hackberry Street for sex customers, Mr. Komlan purportedly

ran an international import/export business named Rainbow Eagle International from Apartment 6, before

allegedly founding Jesus-Christ Reigns International Church in 2013. (International customs and tariffs

documentation are much more relaxed for a religious based non-profit). One of the persons meeting with

the group associated with the van at Comfort Inn is affiliated with Mr. Komlan. The complex at 315 S.

Olive could not have been able to blanket the eastside of San Antonio with drugs and prostitutes for so

many years without the expressed assistance and protection of SAPD officers and dispatchers. This is the

unfortunate, horrifying, and disturbing truth of the matter.

Because of the constant threats to my life and the SAPDs obvious implication in those threats, I am

copying this letter to several outside entities. I hope that the dwindling number of good officers in SAPD

will stand up and take back our police department from the criminal element that now controls it.

Sincerely:

Denise McVea
