Some of the pictures of our assault. They are of both my wife and I. We have more. I also have a police report, which is mostly lies from the guards. This picture was taken yesterday, a full month after they assault took place....
That’s my tail bone. ^^^^ wife^^^ wife^^^^ wife^^^ wife^^^
When we arrived at metro logics/ metro foods on September 11,2018, we were asked for our identification and then they told my wife to step out of the truck, after she was led to where she was told to stand, they asked me to step out of the truck and open the hood and all the doors. I’ve done this before, even though it is not a military installation or a nuclear base, It’s Nothing really out of the ordinary, I’ve done this before without issues.
As the guard and I was walking to the back of my truck to open the trailer door, he demanded I remove my four fingers from my pants pocket, startled by the demand, I obliged. After opening the trailer door and hood, I followed him back to where my wife was standing and unknowingly, because of habit/comfort put my 4 fingers back in my pocket. Again, The guard demanded that I remove my hand from my pocket. This time A little upset of the demand, I told him it is a comfort thing and he is just going to have to deal with it. He told me that it is company policy to keep my hands at my side and if I cannot follow the rules I needed to leave. (Who makes up a policy/rule like that!?!) I said fine, I’ll leave. I proceeded to my truck and the guard stepped in front of me, I told him to move so I could leave. He then told me I wasn’t allowed to leave. I attempted to go around him and was pushed by him into my truck. My wife saw what was happening an attempted to help me. More security guards came and attack and assaulted both us.
I didn’t have product on my truck, I didn’t steal anything. Breaking a rule is not against the law, all they can do is refuse to let us in and let us leave.
When the police showed up, the officers didn’t want to hear anything I had to say. They took me to their police department where I waited for approximately 9 hours before being released. The charges are Simple assault and interfering with a business. They were the aggressor and yet I’m being charged. I never through a punch and only removed my hand from my pocket when the guard lunged at me and pushed me into the wheel of my truck.
I had a black eye, a lump behind my right ear and several scrapes and other bruises. My wife had very large bruises on both her upper arms as well as several scrapes and bruises on other parts of her body and emotional distress from what happened to us.
The company I’m contracted to had suspended us for 17 days pending a decision to terminate my contract and they may still terminate our contract if I’m found guilty, because all the information they have was coming from the guards version of events. Which they are making me to be the aggressor.
Again, all we were trying to do was leave when we were detained without cause and physically assaulted by the security guards. They are not police, they have to witness a crime to detain.
With that said, My belief is the guards were on a power trip and didn’t expect me to say I would leave. I’m pretty sure we can leave a shipper or receiver at any point, even after we are loaded, we just have to wait until it is unloaded before leaving. There is video of what happened, but it has not been released to me yet. This has cost me upwards of $60,000 so far in attorney fees, hospital bills, truck tow bill and lost income. This place needs to be put on notice!
I’ve reached the limit of the pictures I can post, so if anybody wants to see the police report, just ask.
