Then just minutes before our meeting on April 27, I received a packet <br />from Sheriff Wheeler which purported to be in response to my request for all <br />information fromIum regarding his investigation. This investigative report <br />contains statements and allegations credited to Otis Humanes by Police Chief <br />James Gabbard of Vero Beach, Lt. Phil Williams of the Sheriff's stat% and <br />Sheriff Wheeler himself. <br />Now comes Sheriff Wheeler with his letter to the editor of May 5 <br />asking people to come to his office and review the investigative report. He, <br />of course, is careful not to say that the report is repleat with false information <br />which started as a rumor at most, investigated only to determine that there <br />was a rumor and then that rumor was repeated and repeated in the <br />investigation hoping to give it credibility. The entire report amounts to a very <br />crafty fabrication. <br />If other investigations conducted by the Sheriff fall into the same <br />pattern of distorted fact and false information, we in Indian River County <br />have a serious problem. <br />So that no one will have to go to the Sheriffs office to review the <br />investigative report, I have provided a copy to be left at the front desk that <br />can be reviewed by anyone and I will personally pay for a copy should <br />someone want to take it with them. <br />In addition there is a copy of the statement of Mr. Ray Borgis as to his <br />involvement. <br />Finally, I would like to invite Sheriff Wheeler to appear before this <br />Board so that we can publicly discuss his allegations and investigation. It is <br />distressing for the public to continually see their public officials feuding and <br />we need to bring this ridiculous event to an end <br />Fran: <br />4/21/99 <br />To the best of my recollection , we met, 18 to 20 month ago, on Mon in the <br />library While you were having your open section for the public. <br />On the way out from doing work on the Master Gardener Cart,I saw Fran and <br />. decided to. -stop in and say HI: <br />During our conversation 1 ask you if you knew what they did with the old fire <br />hose Fran replied she didn't know but would check. Ask me the size <br />and how much I needed, told the 1 % half and 150 ft. A few minutes later I <br />left. <br />Several weeks later I received a call from the fire station , saying they have the <br />hose for me.When can I pick it up. Told them I'm on my way down now. <br />MAY 119 1999 <br />67 <br />BOOK I .0 D F.� <br />
