This is my formal criminal complaint against City of Marshall City Attorney Dennis Simpson, Assistant City of Marshall City Attorney Matthew Gross and Director of Public Safety Jim Marshall for illegally withholding my Chapter 13.04 Subject Data 1 aka evidence aka discovery from me in Case No. 42-CR-21-98 State of Minnesota vs Larvita Maria Elen Mcfarquhar pursuant to Mn Statute 609.43 Misconduct Of Public Officer Or Employee 2 . On 03-01-21 a Demand or Request for Discovery was submitted to City of Marshall City Attorney Dennis
Simpson and Assistant City of Marshall City Attorney Matthew Gross. As of today’s date I am missing the following data:
Pursuant to state statute Simpson, Gross and Marshall had ten (10) days 3,4 to provide me with my Chapter 13.04 Subject Data aka evidence aka discovery. It is my understanding that it is Simpson’s, Gross’ and Marshall’s known mandatory, nondiscretionary, ministerial duty of the office to provide me with my my Chapter 13.04 Subject Data aka evidence aka discovery. As of today’s date Simpson, Gross and Marshall have willfully refused to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices act by illegally with the following readily available, free, electronic, subject data:
1. SMSU 02/04/2021 911 call and corresponding verbatim transcript 5 .
2. SMSU surveillance video 6 of Larvita McFarquhar on 02/03/2021 and 02/04/2021.
3. SMSU 02/03/2021 and 02/04/2021 Public Safety incident reports 7 aka Initial Complaint
Reports (ICRs) regarding Larvita McFarquhar.
4. Larvita McFarquhar’s 02/04/2021 phone calls to City of Marshall Police dept. and Lyon Co. Sheriff’s Office of officer/deputy assist/escort 8 at SMSU.
5. Computer-aid dispatch reports and corresponding audio of 02/04/2021 incident involving Larvita McFarquhar.
6. Recorded witness statements 9,10 , names and contact information of students and faculty in classrooms or hallways who were witnesses to the 02/03/2021 and 02/04/2021 incidents
involving Larvita McFarquhar.
7. Electronic communications Bill Mulso, SMSU vice president for government relations, communications and marketing and Mike Munford, SMSU Public Safety Director engaged in with Marshall Independent Reporter Deb Gau 11 .
I have reason to suspect this Subject data/Discovery is in the possession of City of Marshall City Attorney Dennis Simpson, Assistant City of Marshall City Attorney Matthew Gross and Director of Public Safety Jim Marshall is because gathering evidence is part of their job description 12 for a Marshall police officer. According to The Marshall Police Department Brady policy 13 and Standard of Standards Of Conduct For Peace Officers 14,15,16 indicate that the type of evidence to be preserved is exculpatory evidence or evidence that tends to prove my innocence. The Marshall Policy Department Brady policies dictates that they are required to
provide me with my missing evidence. I have reason to suspect Simpson, Gross and Marshall are illegally withholding my evidence 17 from me is because the evidence will show my actions

at Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) were a result of being provoked 18 by SMSU personnel.
I have reason to suspect the motive for the criminal misconduct is to fivefold. First, I believe Simpson‘s, Gross’ and Marshall’s motive is to either force me to plead guilty without ever receiving all my evidence or force me to go to trial without ever receiving all my evidence. The second reason is to indoctrinate me into the idea that prosecutors and law enforcement can break the law in order the enforce the law. The third reason is to indoctrinate me into the idea that I should keep my mouth shut when I see local corruption. The sixth motive is an attempt
by Simpson, Gross and Marshall to provoke 19 me in order to incite me to violence. Finally, I believe the last part of the motive is to cover up the fact that SMSU President Kumara Jayasuriya forced my 16 year old daughter S.C.M out of SMSU without a court order after S.C.M obtained a doctor’s note pursuant to section 8. Exempt individuals of the Emergency Executive Order 20-81.

15. A. Principle One Peace officers shall conduct themselves, whether on or off duty, in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, the Minnesota Constitution, and all applicable laws, ordinances and rules enacted or established pursuant to legal authority. 1. Rationale: Peace officers conduct their duties pursuant to a grant of limited authority from the community. Therefore, officers must understand the laws defining the scope of their enforcement powers. Peace officers may only act in accordance with the powers granted to them. 2. Rules a) Peace officers shall not knowingly exceed their authority in the enforcement of the law. b) Peace officers shall not knowingly disobey the law or rules of
criminal procedure in such areas as interrogation, arrest, detention, searches, seizures, use of informants, and preservation of evidence, except where permitted in the performance of duty under proper authority.

Rationale: Community cooperation with the police is a product of its trust that officers will act honestly and with impartiality. The peace officer, as the public’s initial contact with the criminal justice system, must act in a manner that instills such trust. 2. Rules a) Peace officers shall carry out their duties with integrity, fairness and impartiality. ... c) Peace officers shall truthfully, completely, and impartially report, testify and present evidence, including exculpatory evidence, in all matters of an official nature. d) Peace officers shall take no action knowing it will violate the constitutional rights of any person.

17. Spoliation Any erasure, interlineation, or other alteration made to Commercial Paper, such as a check or promissory note, by an individual who is not acting pursuant to the consent of the parties who have an interest in such instrument. A spoliator of evidence in a legal action is an individual who neglects to produce evidence that is in her possession or control. In such a situation, any inferences that might be drawn against the party are permitted, and the withholding of the evidence is attributed to the person's presumed knowledge that it would have served to operate against her.

18. Since you, as a prosecutor, are a minister of justice and not an attorney for miscreant officers, you must develop a strategy for dealing with these occasional incidents of misbehavior. The ways that an officer can fall short of the highest standards of excellence are numberless, but excessive zeal in the performance of their duties is one way. A common subtype of the overzealous officer is the serial resisting arrest victim. Some officers can retire after and never make a case against anyone for resisting arrest. Other officers cannot get through a shift without making a case. Serial resisting arrest victims fall into three main types: those who lack interpersonal skills necessary to obtain suspect compliance, those who verbally bait suspects, and those who are so thin-skinned that they overreact to suspect noncompliance. Seldom should so encounter an officer who purposely set out falsely convict as suspect of resisting arrest. Sometimes an officer will have unintentionally mishandled a situation, and you are burdened with a case where the defendant is technically guilty of the crime, but the victim precipitation issues make a make a conviction unlikely. Quick-witted officers who always have a quip on the tip of their tongue frequently let fly with those quips at the most inopportune times, resulting in black eyes, bruises and a questionable case against a defendant who, again is technically guilty, but was goaded into acting out. Finally, there are officers who are so quick to take offense that they will arrest at the drop of a hat for the most inconsequential misbehavior. A certain degree of noncompliance comes with the officer's territory, and the officer should have sufficient judgment to decline to arrest at all in de minimis situations. These types of cases are relatively easy to spot, and when one of them comes across your desk, you must handle it appropriately. Rubber stamping the officer's decision can sometimes be appropriate, but more often you must make the unpleasant decisions to dismiss the charges, to file reduced charges, or to accept reduced pleas.

peace officers must make a positive impression when interacting with
the public and each other. 2. Rules a) Peace officers shall exercise
reasonable courtesy in their dealings with the public, other officers,
superiors and subordinates. b) No peace officer shall ridicule, mock,
deride, taunt, belittle, willfully embarrass, humiliate, or shame any
person to do anything reasonably calculated to incite a person to
violence. Page 492-493. Professional Conduct Of Peace Officers Model
