Nathan R. Gove, POST Executive Director 651-201-7788:

This is my formal complaint against Grant Co. Sheriff Mark Haberer for willfull refusal to comply with the Minnesota Data Practices Act (MGDPA) pursuant to 13.09 & 609.43. Haberer is currently illegally withholding the Grant County Sheriff’s department policy and procedure manual and the work-related continuing education data for his Chief Deputy Jon Comb and former sheriff/current county commissioner Dwight Walvatne. I have reason to suspect the motivation for this criminal act is to cover-up the illegal withholding of preliminary audio statements of Douglas and Gina Dahlen & Gianna and Samantha Rucki. See attached.


Since certain some of your current and some of your past member of the Minnesota Police Officers Standards & Training Board also have a well-documented history of willfully refusing to comply with the MGDPA I am requesting the following readily available, free, electronic, public data: Chapter 13 data request: Please email/file share me the following readily available, free, electronic, public data in its original searchable pdf format from your respective offices pursuant to 13.03 Subd. 3(e) and Gen.

I advised Doug that Inspector Moran and I were investigating a case involving two missing girls that we believed may have been brought to the ranch a few years earlier due to a contentious divorce process. At that time Doug advised us that the girls were in the house. I asked Doug how they got here, and he stated that their mother had brought them there a few years earlier. I asked him when he had last heard from their mother, and he had told me that it was over a year ago. He invited us inside and called Samantha and Gianna down from the upstairs bedroom. Samantha and Gianna came down, and immediately told us that they would not go back to their father. We told them that our first concern was their safety.

Terry Dean, Nemmers (320) 283-5713
P.S. Hey do you want me to sign a complaint now or later for Grant County Sheriff Mark Haberer's 218-685-8280 illegal withholding of public data from me? What data? It's data from a high-profile criminal case, isn't it? Did you know that Haberer is illegally withholding his Grant County Sheriff's Department policy & procedure manual from me? Oh and Haberer is also illegally withholding his Chief Deputy Jon Comb’s and former sheriff/current county commissioner Dwight Walvatne's work-related continuing education data from me, isn't he? Motive? I have reason to suspect that Haberer is trying to cover-up the fact that Walvatne's preliminary audio recordings caught two missing girls being interrogated after the two girls demanded an attorney, haven't I? I have, haven't I? Did I forget to mention Haberer's wild and outrageous assertion that Walvatne magically and mysteriously couldn't fall back onto his training and record the high-profile encounter with the two missing girls? I didn't believe that fairy tale either, did I? I didn't, did I?
P.S. Hey how would you like to listen to my audio recordings with your corrupt sheriff Haberer? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know, don't they?
P.S.S. Hey would you like to listen to my 04-29-16 audio recorded conversation with your corrupt former Grant County Chief Deputy Troy Langlie? Hmm? Inquiring minds really want to know, don't they?
P.S.S.S. Hey did you know that it looks like neither Douglas nor Gina Dahlen had a Miranda warning issued to them during Walvatne's raid? The policies and procedures really got tossed out the window on this one, didn't they?

Supplemental Report ICR: 15003777 Title: 401 Last Modified: 12-18-2015 1249 Created By: Dwight Walvatne On Wednesday, November 18th, 2015 at approximately 1255 hours, Grant County Sergeant JON COMBS and myself went to the DOUGLAS and GINA DAHLEN residence along with the Lakeville Police Department and the US Marshall Service. Lakeville Detective JIM DROENEN had come to our office earlier this morning and had received a signed search warrant from Judge CHARLES GLASRUD to search the DAHLEN residence. A copy of this search warrant will be made part of this case file. XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXXXX had not been seen for approximately 2 1/2 years after their mother and father were in a bitter divorce battle. Detective DROENEN had information from a previous search warrant that the girls were possibly at the White Horse Ranch owned by GINA and DOUG DAHLEN after their disappearance from Lakeville 2 1/2 years ago. DOUG DAHLEN met us outside and DOUG stated that the girls are here. DOUG said the girls had been there for approximately 2 1/2 years after their mother had dropped them off at the ranch. DOUG DAHLEN also said that he has not heard from the mother or seen her for the past year. 18003954 - MN0260000 18003954 - MN0260000 DOUG brought us into the home and he brought two (2) females into the living room. They were identified as XXXXXXXX XXXXX and XXXXXX XXXXX. XXXXXXXX was upset and I heard her say that she was not going to go back to the cities and live with her father. XXXXXX did not say much. Both girls indicated that they did not want to talk about this situation. Detective DROENEN did take statements for both DOUGLAS DAHLEN and GINA DAHLEN. The XXXXX girls were transported back to Dakota County by a Lakeville P.D female detective and Detective JAMES DROENEN. Detective DROENEN did seize a laptop computer and two (2) iphones belonging to GINA and DOUG DAHLEN. The DAHLENS were told that Lakeville PD was going to have the computer and cell phones analyzed and they would bring the evidence back to them as soon as they could.18003954 - MN0260000 GRANT COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE INCIDENT REPORT ICR# 15003777 AGENCY ORI# MN0260000 JUVENILE: Reported: 11-18-2015 1255 First Assigned: 1255 First Arrived: 1255 Last Cleared: 1740 Committed Start: Committed End: Title: Agency Assist Assist In Locating How Received: Telephone Short Description: AGENCY ASSIST Location(s) Address: 20916 140TH ST City: HERMAN State: MN Zip: Country: Officer Assigned: Walvatne, Dwight Dt/tm Assigned: 11-18-2015 1255 Badge No: GR401DW Time Arrived: 1255 Primary: Yes Time Cleared: 1740 Officer Assigned: Combs, Jon Badge No: GR402 Primary: No

Based upon the information obtained through analysis of Evavold’s phone and computer, I drafted a search warrant for 20916 140 th St. Herman, MN. The Dakota County Attorney’s Office also drafted a sealing order for the warrant as well. Lt. Polinski contacted the Grant County Sheriff’s Office and spoke with the Chief Deputy, Troy Langly, and was advised that they had contact with Dahlen due to his divorce, but no other contacts. On 11/18/15, I went to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office in Elbow Lake, MN, and met with Sheriff Dwight Walvatne and Sgt. John Cooks. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks were briefed about the investigation and what had led us to the Dahlen residence. Both advised that they have had contact with Doug Dahlen and believed that he would be cooperative. The search warrant and sealing order were signed by the Honorable Judge Glasrud. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks stated that they would assist with the warrant at the residence. Detective Helmueller, Detective Coughlin, and Detective Hakanson also responded to the area and were waiting in Herman, MN. Inspector Matt Moran from the US Marshal’s Service also responded to the area. It was determined that Sheriff Walvatne, Sgt. Cooks, Inspector Moran, and I would respond to the residence and attempt to interview Doug Dahlen, and if necessary, the rest of the team would respond to assist with the warrant. We arrived at 20916 140 th St and were met by Doug Dahlen just outside the residence. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks advised him of who we were and that we wanted to ask him some questions. I advised Doug that Inspector Moran and I were investigating a case involving two missing girls that we believed may have been brought to the ranch a few years earlier due to a contentious divorce process. At that time Doug advised us that the girls were in the house. I asked Doug how they got here, and he stated that their mother had brought them there a few years earlier. I asked him when he had last heard from their mother, and he had told me that it was over a year ago. He invited us inside and called Samantha and Gianna down from the upstairs bedroom. Samantha and Gianna came down, and immediately told us that they would not go back to their father. We told them that our first concern was their safety. I did ask them about the last time that they had heard from their mother, and they told me that they would not say anything without a lawyer. I asked Inspector Moran to stay with them, and I stepped outside to contact Lt. Polinski. I advised him that we had Samantha and Gianna, and asked him to start making calls to determine where they should be brought. I also contacted Detective Helmueller and advised them that we had the girls and asked them to respond to the scene as well. Upon their arrival, I asked Detective Coughlin to stay with the girls, as Doug had advised me that Samantha had issues with males. Lakeville Police Department Supplement Report Case/Incident Number 13001278 Officer: J. Dronen 4816 Current Date: 112115. Date Processed: 11/23/15.

On 11-18-15 I assisted Detective Dronen in executing a search warrant at the White Horse Ranch in Herman, MN. Detective Dronen first made contact at the White Horse Ranch with the US Marshall and once the girls were found, he notified us immediately. I had been waiting in the area and then responded to the White Horse Ranch. I sat with Samantha and Gianna Rucki while plans were being made to bring them back to Dakota County. Samantha and Gianna were very quiet however talked about the White Horse Ranch and their responsibilities there. While I sat at the kitchen counter with them Doug Dahlen made a comment to the girls that they knew they were going to have to face this sooner or later. The girls told me that they have been keeping up on their studies with home school materials. I asked them how the annual picnic was for the White Horse Ranch held back in September and they said they were in the house the entire time. The girls told me that they went to church a couple times when they first got to the White Horse Ranch but then Gina and Doug began having church at home. Both girls made it very clear to me that if they were forced to go with their dad, they would run again. The girls told me they had bad experiences with the therapist they were mandated to see before they ran. They also told me the guardian ad litem was never concerned about their thoughts or feelings. They said the guardian ad litem asked them questions about where their mom was hiding her money and wanted to know if she was putting the money overseas. The girls stated no one ever listened to them. LAKEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CASE/INCIDENT NUMBER 13001278 SUPPLEMENT REPORT OFFICER K.

It appears, from the copies of the correspondence between the Department and OAH, that all of the data sought by Ms. Kerr were clearly identified by her. The Department apparently did not, at any time, suggest to Ms. Kerr that the data did not exist, or were not public. It appears that the data, other than the policy letters, which needed to be compiled, ought to have been readily available. However, the Department did not provide Ms. Kerr with access to any of the data for five weeks.

RE: Criminal complaint versus City of Mountain Lake City Administrator/Clerk Michael Schulte, Chief of Police Douglas Bristol, and City Attorney Maryellen Shrhoff.

This is my formal criminal complaint against your corrupt City of Mountain Lake City Administrator/ Clerk Michael Schulte, your corrupt Chief of Police Douglas Bristol, and your corrupt City Attorney Maryellen Shrhoff for conspiring to misuse public resources (609.52 Theft), for conspiring to engage in criminal misconduct (609.43 Misconduct of public officer or employee), for conspiring to engage in harassment (MS 609.748) and for conspiring to engage in willful refusal to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) (13.09 Penalties). See attached electronic Chapter 13 data request correspondence. Email me the public portion (1) of my initial complaint report (ICR) in its original searchable pdf format to: lionnews00@gmail.com.

On Monday, January 7, 2019 at 10:24 AM and on Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at 8:13 AM I electronically submitted Chapter 13 data requests to the City of Mountain Lake in order to obtain some readily available, free, electronic, public data. See attached Mountain_Lake_Evidence.pdf. The data I was seeking was for was directly and indirectly related to Chanhthone Phongsim and Isouvahn Xayachack (2,3,4,5,6,7). I have received some but not all of the readily available, free, electronic, public data. I have reason to suspect that the preliminary audio statements for Chanhthone Phongsim and Isouvahn Xayachack are being illegally withheld from me along with the current Mountail Lake Police Department policy and procedure manual and the work-related continuing education for Mountain Lake police officer Emily Mathiowetz and Mountain Lake Chief of Police Douglas Bristol. Instead, I have received communications from the City of Mountain Lake which I consider harassing, threatening and intimidating (8,9).

“We will not tolerate terroristic threats or harassing behavior. Therefore, any future requests must be in writing and on our city forms. Communication regarding data request shall not be made by e-mail or by personal celluar phone calls to council members or city employees.” January 29, 2019 harassing and intimidating email from City of Mountain Lake City Attorney Maryellen Shrhoff Maryellen Suhrhoff. muskelaw@qwestoffice.net

Means Motive Opportunity: I have reason to suspect that your corrupt City of Mountain Lake City Administrator/Clerk Michael Schulte, your corrupt Chief of Police Douglas Bristol, and your corrupt City Attorney Maryellen Shrhoff are illegally withholding the readily available, free, electronic, public data for Chanhthone Phongsim and Isouvahn Xayachack because they know or should know that the Department of Natural Resources has a well-documented history of illegal searches & seizures and a well-documented history of illegally releasing confidential 13.82 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data to the media in high-profile cases (10,11,12).

I also have reason to suspect the reason why the preliminary audio statements (13), the current policy and procedure manual and the work-related continuing education data are being illegally withheld is

Page 1 of 5

because the data would prove that the search of suspects who needed a court interpreter could not have given voluntary consent to search (14) on the late night raid by the DNR and Mountain Lake police. Finally, I have reason to suspect that is why the case was plead down to a petty misdemeanor in order to prevent an Omnibus hearing from being held. Which would explain why the computerized City of Mountain Lake (15,16) is willfully refusing to fail back onto their Minnesota Government Data Practice Act training (17,18,19,20,21,22) and to provide me with the data in a timely manner.

FYI: This is also my POST Board complaint and my complaint to Chief Judicial Officer Michelle A. Dietrich

FYI2: I’ve attached the public portion of the initial criminal complaint that Roderick “Rick” Kottom files in response to the DNR’s illegal release of his confidential 13.82 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data to the media in his high-profile case Case No. 69DU-CR-17-900 State of Minnesota vs Roderick Robert Kottom.

11. Mr. Karpan: I do have one request. Um, I've not asked for this before, I'm not sure how to handle it, but the Department of Natural Resources as they've done in the past has seen fit to do a press release, and officer Osborne has answered questions for the newspaper. My client – all the facts of the case are in the Echo Press, on the radio and in sporting magazines. Not only are there quotes in there that aren't - - I mean I know the State has a right to release incident data I think it's called. Under Chapter 13.82, investigative data is not to be released. Well, there are pictures allegedly of my client's fish all over the Echo Press. Everybody in town is talking about it. I don't know if I'll have to make a change of venue motion eventually. I'll have to see how this plays out in a few months. But under 13.82, there's no way the DNR is supposed to be releasing pictures of evidence to the newspaper. It prejudices my client. It prejudices all of us. It makes it impossible to get a fair trail. So I'm asking the Court to order the Department of Natural Resources to not discuss this case any further until it's done.
The Court: Mr. Hochsprung?
Mr. Hochsprung: Your Honor, I did not authorize the Department of Natural Resources to disclose

Re: Withdrawal of coerced plea agreements for Garth Herme in Case No. 31-VB-18-2212, 31- CR-18-488, 31-CR-18-3154, and 31-CR-18-2509.

I am asserting that I am a victim of coerced plea agreements(1) in Case No. 31-VB-18-2212, 31-CR-18-488, 31-CR-18-3154, and 31-CR-18-2509. And, as a victim of coercion, I am recanting my statements and I demanding that my coerced plea agreements be stricken from the record. I am represented by an attorney whose name is Gayle Lovejoy Atty Reg No #0151853 Assistant Public Defender. I do not feel that I had sufficient time to discuss my cases with my attorney. I am not satisfied that my attorney is fully informed as to facts of these cases. My attorney has not discussed possible defenses to the crimes that I might have committed. I am not satisfied that my attorney has represented my interests and has fully advised me.

I allege that Lovejoy willfully refused to provide me with a Form Number IFP103 – Form Name Supplemental Affidavit for Proceeding In Forma Pauperis (2). I wanted to get a copy of the transcripts of my hearing so I could prepare for trial and so I could file a complaint related to my case.

I allege that Lovejoy willfully refused to inform me that I could file a criminal complaint (3,4) against Itasca County Attorney John “Jack' Muhar, Itasca County Assistant Attorney Heather Marie Roy or Itasca County Assistant Attorney Todd Scott Webb for illegally withholding my Chapter 13.82 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data from me in the above entitled cases.

I allege that Lovejoy willfully refused to inform me that I could have had Lovejoy file for sanctions (5) against Itasca County Attorney John “Jack' Muhar, Itasca County Assistant Attorney Heather Marie Roy or Itasca County Assistant Attorney Todd Scott Webb for illegally withholding my Chapter 13.82 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data from me in the above entitled cases.

I allege that Lovejoy knew or should have known that I was a victim of trial by ambush (6,7). Lovejoy knew or should have known that I was a victim of trial by ambush by Itasca County Attorney John “Jack” Muhar's willful refusal to provide me with all my Chapter 13.82 Subd. 7. criminal investigative data when I was the subject of the data. Lovejoy knew or should have known Itasca County Attorney John “Jack” Muhar had willfully refused to comply with the State of Minnesota's ten (10) day time limit (11,12,13,14,15,16,17) on providing data to me, the subject of the data. [Note: 10/18/2018 Demand or Request for Discovery Index # 12]

I have reason to suspect that Lovejoy conspired with Itasca County Attorney John “Jack' Muhar in order to coerce me into taking a plea deal. I have reason to suspect the plea deal was only provided to me in order to prevent me from obtaining sworn testimony at my Omnibus hearing that would be not only embarrassing (18) to Itasca County Attorney John

Page 1 of 6

“Jack' Muhar but possibly implicate Muhar in criminal activity. I have reason to suspect that Lovejoy was willfully refusing to fall back on her training as a lawyer to cover-up obstruction of justice in your court.

Plus, Lovejoy would only give me some of my property aka my case files (19) to me only after I told her that I would report her to the Grand Rapids Police Department. Lovejoy never informed me that she reported Itasca County Attorney John “Jack” Muhar to the proper authorities (20). But, then again, neither did you, Wahwassuck. Shannon Leigh Green Standing Cloud did more for me and my cases than Gayle Lovejoy ever did. Shannon did more for me and my cases by recording all sorts of phone calls and conversations with people such as, State Patrol Captain Ron Silcox, Trooper Trevor Klatt, Grand Rapids Newspaper Editor Britta Arendt, the Itasca County Commissioners, Managing Attorney Layne Chido, the Grand Rapids Police and Muhar's office, etc.

Shannon was able to get Trooper Trevor Klatt to admit on audio that my squad audio/video actually had sound. All Lovejoy did was to coerce me out of the motion to dismiss my case, to coerce me out of my Omnibus hearing and to coerce me into a plea deal when the case should have been dismissed. As far as I am concerned, the only person who was 100% for me was Shannon.

Shannon also found out that other people had their evidence illegally withheld from them. You probably recognize the name of Jada Sawatzsky (23). When Shannon asked for data on Steve Kevin Lubbers Case No. 31-CR-18-1384 and Laurie Jean Henke Case No. 31-CR-18- 1383 Muhar began making wild and outrageous reasons why he wasn't going to provide public data on them. Muhar also willfully refused to provide Shannon with his policy and procedure manual for the Itasca County Attorney's office. See attached Memorandum To: Shannon Green From: John J. Muhar, Itasca County Attorney RE: Data Request/Shannon Green/Attorney Data, dated November 30,2018 County Attorney File No.: 18AD00099 Date: December 6,2018. Shannon also found out that the State Patrol has withheld evidence from Jesse James Alvord in Case No. 01-CR-16-29. (24). So, clearly this a not an isolated incident. Instead, this is a problem throughout the Ninth Judicial District.

I can see why cameras, video recorders and audio recorders are not freely allowed in Minnesota's courts. If cameras, video recorders and audio recorders were freely allowed in Minnesota's courts, then they could educate public that the courts in the Ninth judicial district have absolutely nothing to do with justice. And the public would learn that the law is broken to “enforce the law.” I do not believe that I can receive a fair trial in this court. I am recanting my guilty plea statement because they were coerced. FYI: This is also my complaint to the Ninth Judicial district chief judicial officer Paul T. Benshoof, the Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards and the Minnesota Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board.

Footnotes:
1. The judge will make an inquiry into the knowingness and voluntariness of the plea, and you must make sure that the judge covers all the bases and asks all the necessary questions. If she does not, then you must, by gentle reminder, or by asking the questions yourself, make sure that everything necessary is put on record. Common questions include the defendant's educational level, mental health history, understanding of the crime charged and the penalties, whether the defendant has been coerced into pleading, whether the defendant is satisfied with her attorney, and also the defendant's understanding of certain collateral effects of the plea. Some collateral effects which might be inquired into include the possibility of deportation if the defendant is an alien, and if the crime is a sex crime the possibility of being committed as a sexually violent predator at some future date. Finally the judge will inquire into the factual basis for the plea. Because the law frowns on people being punished for things that they did not do, as part of every plea the judge makes an inquiry to determine whether the defendant is actually guilty. The inquiry is not as rigorous as a full-blown trial, but she must find satisfactory evidence of guilt. George R. Dekle, Sr, Prosecution Principles: A Clinical Handbook (Thompson/West:2007), Page 69.

8. A spoliator of evidence in a legal action is an individual who neglects to produce evidence that is in her possession or control.

Dismissing the above matter due to the State’s chilling of Defendants right to prepare a meritorous defense. On December 4, 2014 Defense brought a Motion to compel discovery in 31-CR-18-3154. The actual correct video in said file was received by the Grand Rapids Public Defending Office on December 26, 2018. (A previous squad/audio was sent which was only a small part of the squad/audio requested) A previous Ominibus Hearing was scheduled hence discovery should have been completed. Mr. Herme is being housed at the Morrison county jail. Mr. herme is back at the Itasca county Jail as of January 3, 2018. This leaves very little time for Mr. Herme to listen to squad/audio video, also, 2 new audio of witness statements, confer with counsel and have issues identified and be prepared for a Omnibus Hearing on October 9 2018.
