Help Me Rebuild From tragedy
Disclaimer: I have a previous history of reporting a former paramedic for negligence and, in time, myself, my spouse, and my child were illegally and forcibly removed from our home in 2017, rendering all three of us homeless. I mention this to explain the trepidation I have been under with relation to local law enforcement, respectively.
A person who owns this company,
Welcome Mat Vacations
https://welcomematvacations.com/, took my money, up front without a walk through under the rental agreement that I have my animals (documented via FB conversation) with us in lease. Communication wasn't an issue until we had a problem with the air conditioner which wasn't working during the beginning of COVID, and my then spouse's recovery from a sixth myocardial infarction (heart attack). He was flown to Nashville from Rockwood TN via LifeNet to Vanderbilt because we were homeless at the time and living in an abandoned house, as well as, no adequate transportation.
Our air conditioner wasn't working and we were aware of how difficult it is for repairs at the time due to post tornado conditions and new COVID regulations. We were willing to work with the landlord as my then spouse was in recovery from the aforementioned sixth myocardial infarction and we were still under strict quarantine protocols.
My spouse had applied for disability, but was denied, all six times, and he only recently received an attorney. I were behind on rent, but got caught back up when we were approved for Unemployment and the landlord willingly accepted back and current payments at that time.
I was supposed to renew our lease after I received a requested current accounting, but I never received a response for either.
At the same time, a child I gave birth to disappeared from my life under odd circumstances. I have not physically seen my adult child since December of 2019, and my adult child had called my spouse to inquire as to how to transfer her car title into two other people's names. This request was some months later, but I'm unable to recall the exact date at this time.
As I admitted to the National Sex Trafficking hotline, I did send my adult child hemp/cannabis flower, as a TN licensed hemp/cannabis grower, to assist in her ability to remain off of medications for Attention Deficit Disorder as I had noticed she was experiencing an altered mental status from ingesting prescribed medication, and depression from our traumatic life experience as a family, and I wanted to assist in her recovery.
I was sent images of an avulsion by my child, leading me to believe that she was in danger, as she is aware since as a former EMS person I walk daily with severe PTSD.
In normal circumstances, I would have requested a welfare check to her last known address, but declined to do so as I was concerned for my child's partner as a Person of Color and I was concerned for the safety of others also living in the household. My adult child called me on her way to the hospital, stating that she had an occurrence with making sour dough in a jar.
Soon after this incident, my adult child called my spouse to ask how to transfer her car title into two other people's names. To my knowledge, my spouse had met these individuals when he dropped her off at her last known address in the state of Maryland and flew back to Tennessee in December of 2019.
Soon after allegedly receiving stitches, allegations were made against my spouse and I, which were out of character and I have never received an answer for. We were also not invited to an engagement party under the premise that we are racist, which is severely out of character for all concerned.
On May 6th, 2020, I received a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day with a card "signed" in a nickname I reserve for my child, but she has never used as a signature previously which is concerning to me.
Because I am a former public safety person with familiarity of human trafficking methods and means, and due to the sudden change in the nature of my reciprocated emails to my adult child, which did not fit our normal familial language, I called a report into the National Sex Trafficking hotline, as listed and suggested on the federal website and per protocols I have been taught to follow in my former vocation.
I received a case number from the National Sex Trafficking hotline. I emailed the case number to the last known email address I had to my child, knowing I had not been communicating with her but whomever had control of her account.
All calls to her went directly to voicemail and the number is now out of service.
I discovered electronic images of my adult child on an "adult" site and I became concerned for her well being, since our communication had changed so drastically and had been out of character to date. I advised via social media platform, that I am a friend to the sex workers industry as I recognize it as a legitimate business, I attempted to convey that I was concerned my adult child was being trafficked against her will, and that i had made a report to the National hotline, and would go away if she would talk to me via video or physical presence.
I no longer have this correspondence since I deleted my original social media platforms, and am willing to stand corrected if I am wrong.
I attempted to correspond with her via email, impressing upon my adult child that no matter what, I love her unconditionally, and just wanted to be sure she was doing this of her own free will, that I am always supportive if she was.
I advised that I had made a report to the National Sex Trafficking Hotline, (888) [phone redacted], and to call the number if my report was invalid. I wrote that I had been advised not to close the case until she had appeared before me physically per the hotline.
Soon after this correspondence, I received further email communication, again in language my adult child and I were historically unaccustomed with, I was called by a Deputy Stewart from Prince George's County, MD Sheriff's Department asking when I would "return to town so that I can serve you with an Order of Protection on Domestic Violence".
I advised Deputy Stewart that I wouldn't be returning to "town" because I was quarantined due to my spouse's condition in the state of Tennessee, also stating that I had not been in the state of Maryland for many years since my oldest maternal aunt had died over twenty years ago, and that I had not physically seen my adult child since December 2019, nor had I physically spoken to her for months prior outside of her last conversation with me when she told me she wanted to come "home." I had to tell the deputy what county I was in, in the state of Tennessee so he could send service.
On October 8th, 2020 I was served by two men dressed in Davidson County, TN sheriff's uniforms with the aforementioned order. The date of appearance was scheduled for October 23rd, 2020, which I could not attend sure to COVID quarantine restrictions and my spouse's recovery from a sixth heart attack.
I called the court in Prince George's County MD regarding the order, for reasons aforementioned. I was advised that I had no choice but to appear by the clerk who answered the phone.
I didn't attend on the date ordered and the order was dismissed for lack of evidence on October 23, 2020.
As a precaution, I've left an email statement regarding this case evidence with a former attorney of mine, Virginia Senator Stephen Heretick, with regards to past history surrounding custody and alleged further estate proceedings regarding my child and her disappearance from my life. Communication may have been unclear to him,initially, for to my erratic cognitive issues from my disease process, but I advised him what was occuring in the current circumstances.
A letter, dated October 23, 2020, was received by my spouse via courier, from an attorney at Bell Law Firm, Sasha Qualkenbush, regarding our being out of a lease on the apartment, and our previous late payment history, and the requirement to move under these terms.
I contacted Legal Aid Society due to the lack of finances endured by us, as well as, COVID quarantine restrictions, mentioning that we had also had a heated discussion with the responsible parties regarding the broken air conditioning unit, and the need to request more time due to my spouse's disability and the need to find adequate housing.
At the time, courts were closed due to COVID.
My spouse filed CDC docs, as requested, and required, sending certified copies to the attorney of record, Sasha Qualkenbush of Bell Law, the homeowner, D. Hyun Song, Leslie Eggleston, acting property manager of Welcome Mat Vacations LLC, and the company also listed also as an owner, Oak Tree LLC.
We received confirmation receipts signatures dated October 24th and 28th, 2020, respectfully, except from Ms. Eggleston.
Note: I was recently advised by the head clerk of the court, CDC documents aren't recognized by the State of Tennessee.
On January 22, 2021, a detainer warrant was filed against my spouse and I, case #21GT465. A date was set for February 5, 2021.
Per the Davidson County TN court clerk I spoke to, we were to be served with a new court date that would have to be applied for by the Landlord and issued to appear via certified notice. This was due to COVID quarantine protocols acknowledged by the State. The clerk, Ms. Parks, stated it would be after June 30th, 2021.
In a letter written by the Court, meditation would be required. I called the Metro Action Commission HOPE program and submitted the appropriate documentation to be covered under the CARES Act program so we could obtain appropriate housing and assistance.
Approximately April 13, 2021, I paid my hemp/cannabis licensing fees to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. My inspector arrived at approximately 0830 to inspect my plants and advised me he would "like to remove me from the database" as he had been advised by the Feds "they" didn't "have good intentions for me." I was unclear as to who "they" were and didn't ask further. My license number was posted on the wall in my Grow room.
On May 11th, 2021, my spouse received email correspondence from Mr. Willie Butler, of the Metro Action Commission HOPE program, who was requesting documents from our Landlord, Welcome Mat Vacations, LLC Leslie Eggleston (Proprietor), D.Hyun Song, and Oak Tree LLC so that payment for back rent could be made on our behalf ($21,000+) plus 90 days to give us time to organize and vacate.
No response was received and after speaking with a Mrs. Spiceley from the Metro Action Commission HOPE program, I also had to upload our personal documents, for a third time. Each time I uploaded them, I was greeted with a white 'Thank you' screen, but no confirmation number.
Ms. Spicely stated she would determine my case right then, once documents were received, even though I had advised we had already been approved per Mr. Butler's email dated May 11, 2021.
Also, on May 11th, 2021, I was contacted by a person I used to know who attempted to extort me regarding video images of my spouse and I sitting intimate moments. This person resides in the state of South Carolina. Comments were made about "The sex is fantastic," but I was unsure of what she meant as I have moments of cognitive issues does to Gaucher's/Lewy Body disease.
On May 14, 2021, I received a letter, dated May 12, 2021 from the Maryland Unemployment office that unemployment benefits were allegedly filed in my name, which also requires further investigation, which is pending.
Per a text message I received from the previously mentioned female I used to know who lives in the State of South Carolina on May 17, 2021, I "have options."
On the same date at a later time, I received a phone call telling me again how "great the sex is, here's what you can do." During this phone conversation, this person acknowledged having working knowledge of my Mother's estate being cashed in using either my forged signature, or my genetic family claiming me as a deceased/dead person to claim the proceeds, as well as my Grandparent's and Aunts' estates having been processed the same way in 2002 with my Mother's assistance. This person stated with certainty, "I know."
The female also stated she has working knowledge of my adult child's whereabouts, and when I responded that my child must have become a demon or something, she said, "And what happened to her? Tell me what happened," but I didn't press further.
I explained in this conversation that my genetic family watched my spouse and I become homeless while we live through homelessness, didn't invite me to my Mother's funeral that I informed about through my ex-husband, and she stated she was aware. She also claimed to have working knowledge of the Last Supper I had at a Virginia Beach, Virginia oceanfront restaurant of my spouse's former employer, with my immediate genetic family on or about September 30, 2018, my adult child's birthday so each one of them could corroborate the last date they had seen me so as to make filing court documents easier in case they were to be questioned, to which she acknowledged.
This person also asked me about my cannabis/hemp plants and I had advised her as to what my inspector has said. This person admitted to selling cannabis/hemp flower (I had sent to help with her alcoholism, anxiety, and depression) as she needed payment to get her partner out of jail. She asked me for my current address, to which I didn't comply.
I advised that I no longer wanted any contact, that my genetic family didn't deserve my presence, and further, that they were disgusting to me, not deserving of my presence. I hung up the phone and received a final text message to which I didn't respond, regarding coming up with spiritual names.
I attempted to report fraudulent activity and extortion to Metro Nashville TN police department, report numbers 21-0351026 for fraudulent activity of the estates, pending evidence submission that will take time and further legal investigation, and 21-386525 for extortion, but the officer wouldn't take an official report, verbally confirmed twice with the female officer.
May 28, 2021: Mitch, the landlord's representative, picked up our modem as they had been in control of our internet and wireless devices (had been disconnected and passwords changed multiple times) up to that point.
Ms. Eggleston, our property manager/landlord had full access to our modem and devices. She has disconnected our services in the past, with proof in the form of a text message via my estranged spouse's phone, where she listed the number of devices on our modem and denied multiple times, also via text message, that she had changed the password while also returning a new password.
On June 11th, 2021 per Polly, the clerk at the Davidson County TN court, the order to vacate was granted, without our receiving certified notice.
On June 14, 2021, I had a phone conversation with Willie Butler, of the Metro Action Commission HOPE program. He told me with certainty that he could help my spouse and I by expediting a one time payment to us so we could obtain housing for to our eviction status and would call back later to get our details. No call or email was received.
Also on June 14, 2021, per Polly at the Davidson County TN clerk's office, a judgement was filed electronically against my spouse and I to proceed with eviction. The order was electronically accepted by the Judge on June 18, 2021. We did not receive any certified notice to date.
On June 28, 2021, at approximately 4:00pm, Ms. Eggleston appeared on our doorstep to tell my spouse that we are being "forcibly evicted by the Sheriff's department on July 11th."
No official certified notice was received.
During an email conversation with Sierra Sellers of the Metro Action Commission HOPE program on July 2, 2021, my spouse advised that we had not received any further information, written or otherwise, from Mr. Willie Butler regarding follow up, and that I had attempted correspondence with Ms. Spiceley numerous times, who repeatedly asked us to upload our documents. Ms. Sellers stated that they had been in contact with a "hostile" landlord and nothing has been resolved.
On July 8th, Sierra from the Metro Action Commission stated that the Landlord was refusing to accept payment simply because they don't "want you staying another 90 days" and we had no immediate remedy because our unemployment had stopped again. She advised she would be in contact, but we didn't hear from her.
July 10, 2021 a payment for the TN Grower's PAC Coalition came out of my account, I had previously cancelled this as I felt unwelcome during meetings since it appeared appropriate "political affiliation" was required. The beginning of the one of the affiliate meetings I attended, a state representative appeared to be agitated about who we should all be supporting as a President.
Due to my adult child's disappearance from my life and the current experiences I've endured, I attempted to gain an Order of Protection against Ms. Eggleston, Oak Tree LLC, D. Hyun Song, on July 11, 2021 at approximately 0330.
Judicial Magistrate, Bruce Kessler, agreed to a court date due to the history surrounding our case, notating that it appeared to be a landlord tenant case. He also explained that my case wouldn't be something he had the capability to hear in his court, but that I would get my day in court. I received a letter stating none of the parties had been located to be served, but the order would remain on file for one year and I would be notified.
On July 29, 2021, I sent an email to a person I "know" from a plant forum regarding a computer he was to let me borrow, giving my address. Within the hour, there was a knock at the door by the Davidson County Sheriff's Department. The deputy advised my spouse that they were there to serve a Writ of Ejectment and he allowed them entry. I asked the deputies multiple times for the paperwork, advised them of the circumstances regarding my daughter, the circumstances surrounding my Mother's estate, and the extortion from a person I used to know, but I was told I would be arrested if I kept asking. Deputy Mike asked if there was anything in the apartment they should be aware of, and I told them sometime would have to get my plants. He seemed my apartment as an illegal grow house, called it in, then denied my access to my room to show my licensed documents.
I advised that all entry and exits were recorded as I had made reports to the FBI hotline regarding the circumstances surrounding my adult child, both deputies acknowledged. To reiterate, I asked for the Writ of Ejectment multiple times as I had never received a copy.
I was advised they were sealing the apartment and we had to vacate the premises with our dogs. I left with my pyjamas on and no shoes. I asked them to call EMS, first for my husband, a six time heart attack survivor, then me, for anxiety. I also asked for them to call their supervisors to the scene.
As I was leaving the house, I passed a man and asked his name, he responded with, "Mr. Murphy," approximately 5'6" dressed in plain clothes, who was assisting to take out my plants.
Once at the front yard of the apartment, my spouse and I say in the extreme heat while multiple law enforcement, Metro and County Sheriff officers, entered and excited the property we were no longer able to enter. The last time I saw any of my plants was approximately 0730.
My spouse was mirandized by a deputy who has short blonde hair parted to the left side, approximately 6'3", in a royal blue polo shirt, approximately 180 - 210 lbs. My spouse started answering questions that he had no knowledge of regarding the plants. I yelled at him to stop his being questioned and his answering. The gentleman advised wee world be arrested for growing 'marijuana' and I asked, "How did my plants go from hemp to marijuana from my apartment to here and what equipment did you use to test seedlings that don't have trichomes yet?" The gentleman asked if we were talking about my plants being hemp, I answered with the affirmative and further advised my license and greenhouse licenses were posted on the wall, the situation regarding my adult child and mother's estate.
The officer advised we could "get your own lawyer then" and the plants were confiscated. He further advised the plants would be kept for a period of months while they grow to determine THC level and charges could be pending, though no evidence inventory was given per my request. I didn't receive any list of confiscated items and no charges are pending that I'm aware of to date, per central booking.
I'm unsure how charges can legally be pending since I have no idea who, what, where, how, and why about my plants and feel at this point they have been tampered with since they have been out of my sight from the beginning of this call. Multiple civilians were seen entering and exiting the premises, with the contents of my apartment in their hands
During this process, I contacted Mr. Joseph Fusion, my former divorce attorney, and currently a criminal attorney in the state of Tennessee, who is a member of the previously mentioned Tennessee Hemp PAC groups, and cannabis advocate but after I advised of the odd circumstances previously mentioned, he simply wanted to talk to the officers/deputies since he's aware of the process.
I ended the conversation when I became aware of his disinterest after my lengthy explanation, to include my advising him about my leaving a statement to Virginia Senator Stephen Heretick, my former attorney regarding my minor child's unwarranted custody case, my grandparents/Mother's estate, and my report to the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
After most of law enforcement left, Deputy Mike brought us the served copy of the Order of Protection, giving us a court date of August 9th, post eviction, and no day in court prior to.
All evidence regarding my adult child's last physical visit to our home has been removed and tampered with outside of my purview, as have my plants, and housing contents.
My spouse was able to leave with our dogs to his sister's house, while I volunteered to stay with our belongings, thinking he would return with someone to get our belongings, to no avail.
I was told by Deputy Mike that I would have to stay on the stairs of the apartment we were in, not in the front yard, and that people"will come to steal my belongings."
When I moved to the back, as directed, Ms. Eggleston, Justin (who would not give last name), and others were pilfering through my belongings. I asked her how she remained on scene after being served an Order of Protection, and she stated she could do what she wanted and, "It's not like I'm scared." I called 911 to report the situation, but no one responded. During this call, the group left the scene, one in a black, late model Z71 with the label on the side of the truck bed, as well as a new model SUV.
Soon after they left, two gentlemen showed up and stole my 70" television and other items. One man was approximately 5'6" with greying black hair in short corn rows, the other was approximately 5'8", no shirt, red shorts with white underwear peeking out, black shirt hanging from the waistband, and short, spikey dreadlocks that stood straight up. They put the items in a black hatchback four door sedan, and disregarded me when I asked if they were just going to steal in front of me. They drove west from the alley with the hatchback still somewhat open.
I called this report into 911, no one responded.
I stayed with our belongings, in extreme heat, for over 24 hours. I became distressed the next day with the enormity of what occurred, the loss of my family, and the apparent abandonment from my spouse and his family. After making a noose, and being emotionally distraught, I made a noose with the idea that I had lost everything, I have a degenerative disease, and the World simply didn't care what it does to one another. I put the noose around my neck and attempted to find a place to hang myself. When I realized the enormity of my actions, I sent messages via social media to my spouse telling him I was not okay.
When MNPD showed up, I admitted what I had planned to do, why I had planned to do it, and EMS was called. The fire department showed up and asked me what was going on, and I explained. I was taken to a mental health facility and admitted.
After receiving care at the Mental Health Cooperative, I was further discharged to Middle TN institute, against my will, even after explaining I needed to be in court on August 9, and why, but I was marked as delusional and denied access to my chart. I never saw a doctor outside my visit in the ER.
I'm currently homeless, my spouse is estranged from me, and I'm not welcome in their housing. I have been denied relief, and discriminated against through the Legal Aid Society via Andrea Crismon who is unwilling to assist me further, Lisa McCready of the Metro Action Commission HOPE program, and the local law enforcement agencies.
My entire way of Life has been stolen from me, as well as any and all future business, employed or self employed. I was attending two schools, one for medicinal herb and flower farming, the other to become a certified Herbalist, and my chapter of an international humanitarian organization has been stolen from in the form of the seed grant I was awarded, further harming the local community during these difficult COVID times.
I've been exploited, defamed, and discriminated against, as my Unemployment has been allegedly toyed with at the mercy of an unknown individual's whim due to inconsistencies and irregular payments.
I have played by the rules set forth before me, but the same has not been reciprocated as I'm continuously victimized via denial of any FEMA assistance grants, small business grants and loans, and rental assistance that has been given to others before and after me.
Finally, in my chosen vocational field, if I am to recertify, it is required that I self report any DV occurrences, which causes undue hardship and has the potential to affect any future career potential.
I ask for patience with this accounting of events as I suffer from severe PTSD from my former vocation in EMS, as well as, Gaucher's Disease with Parkinson's symptoms, and I do have cognitive issues currently, but haven't been able to proceed with treatment for to lack of health insurance and financial means while I also wait for disability and housing.
I ask, humbly, if you can assist me so that I can provide the appropriate legal representation for my situation, as well as adequate and safe housing.
I know times are tough all over, so even a share goes a long way. Thank you for your time and attention.
Much love and peace be with you.
