True crime novel book project I am currently hard at work trying to publish a true crime novel which I have written regarding the out of control police corruption in the state of Alaska which has directly affected me and has had a major impact on my life and the lives of many other innocent people in the state of Alaska. I have been stalked, tormented, set up, framed, falsely accused, poisoned, attacked and even had evidence planted in my home by law-enforcement in North Pole Alaska and during the winter of 2018 I found myself dating a woman who was a police informant (a plant) and one evening on January 11 2019 this woman and her state policeman (handler) followed me around town and waited until I was at a convenience store where he had her jump in to my vehicle and dump a massive quantity of crystal meth into my soda, I saw this take place and when I ran out of the store they had already left, I followed them across town to a location where they met up with other officers, I pulled up behind them and attempted to get their license plates but I could not remember them, I did however positively ID my girlfriend sitting in the passenger side of a black Jeep Wrangler, there was nothing I could do and at the time I did not know what she had done inside my vehicle and I quickly drank my soda and left but about 20 minutes later I began overdosing and swerved into a store parking lot where I asked the store clerk to call for help, within minutes I was in the back of an ambulance fighting for my life overdosing. I tried to talk to the staff at the hospital and ask them for police assistance and was ignored, I tried reporting this with no success to multiple law-enforcement agencies including internal affairs, umbudsman, attorneys and civil rights groups, including countless posts on social media with no luck at locating anyone who seems to care or were able to help, (I seem to only end up on the phone with undercover agents) since then my life has been a roller coaster ride of surveillance, intimidation, torments. I’ve been under surveillance by more law enforcement agencies across the country that I can think of as well as had my rights violated on a continual basis even up to this present day I am still being hounded and tormented and even threatened by these people in more ways than I could mention to maintain their coverup and keep hidden any evidence against them, I live in constant fear of retaliation by them and never know when or how they will retaliate to stop me from telling the world my story this along with other similar experiences as well as my life in Alaska will all be going in my book which will be published asap, Please invest in a copy of my book to help tell my story to the world, there’s more to the story than just me, there are the innocent lives of people falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned all over Alaska who were thrown in jail and falsely accused by the same crew of corrupt police officers, please help me take up this fight and help me tell my story, All I need is for others to care and care about what happened to me and the many others who are falsely imprisoned as well as your own rights which are at risk if this is not exposed and dealt with! Thank you for taking the time to read this God bless you all my fellow Americans.

I salute these two reporters. Best example of local journalism I've seen in decades. And I worked as a newspaper reporter in an Indiana county with a similar experiences. Two consecutive sheriffs were arrested while in office. Our newspaper had no role in those arrests, and neither sheriff did anything approaching the seriousness of this Whitley County goon. As reporter there, I faced down intimidation from officials and never yielded, but the courage of Adam and Samantha is heroic. I don't know if I could have held together under all that.
