Initial Complaint Report ICR Number: 112036927 Agency: Washington County Sheriff’s Office ICR Created: 11/27/2012 09:55:10 DEPUTY S. PEULEN #163 DATE/TIME OCCURRED: 1127212 – 0955 HRS. DATE/TIME REPORT MADE: 112812 – 0652 HRS. DETAILS OF REPORT: On November 27, 2012, I was dispatched to 433 170th St in Hugo for a harassment report. The complainant, MATTHEW PAUL MONTAIN, DOB: [Redacted], was advising that an unwanted male was on his property. I am familiar with this issue, as the unwanted male had been on the property last week for an issue that Sgt Johnson, #121, was dealing with. See ICR 112036632. Upon arrival there, I observed a silver Honda Element with MN LIC: 887KYD parked in the driveway outside of the office trailer on site. The vehicle registers to the Humane Society for Companion Animals. I observed a male standing near the vehicle. I am familiar with this male from the past contact as WADE RICHARD HANSON, DOB: [Redacted]. He is an employee of the Animal Humane Society. As I pulled up with my squad, I observed HANSON was wearing dark brown BDU style pants, black military style boots, and a dark brown wind breaker type jacket with large yellow letters on the back stating “Humane Agent.” There were patches on the upper arms of the jacket. As I got closer to HANSON, I observed that the patched indicated that he was an investigator with the Humane Society. I could see also a badge on the jacket that was shaped in a police shield style with “Investigator” on the top rocker and “Humane Society” on the bottom rocker. I saw that under the dark brown jacket, HANSON, was wearing a tan deputy style duty shirt with dark brown pocket flaps and shoulder epaulets. This shirt also had a badge like the one on his jacket. This uniform was strikingly similar to the uniform that I was wearing and he could be easily mistaken for law enforcement personnel. HANSON had also provided me with one of his business cards at my request. One side appeared to be the generic business card for the Animal Humane Society. The top half of the other side has a photograph of a gold police style badge with an eagle on the top. The top rocker of the badge is difficult to make out but I believe it says “State of Minnesota.” The center has the Great Minnesota Seal, and the bottom rocker says “Humane Agent.” Underneath is written “Animal Humane Society.” On the bottom portion of the card is HANSON’s contact information. He is listed as a “Senior Humane Investigator” with 2 email addresses. The other appears to be a personal email address of whanson@animalhumanesociety.org. The other appears to be a personal email address of humaneagentmn@yahoo.com. There are 3 phone numbers listed as: a “department”number of 763-489-2235, a “direct” number of 763-489-1570 and a “cell” number of [Redacted]. I asked HANSON why he was back at the property today. He told me that he was doing a follow up visit to the property to make sure that they were complying with the clean up order. I confirmed with him that the veterinarian he called had been on site last week and had cleared all the animals health -wise. He confirmed that statement. I then asked why he was back if all the animals had been cleared. He again told me he was doing a follow up visit to make sure the pen areas were being cleaned up. He told me that he was satisfied with the progress that had been made and felt that everything “looked good” and that he had no more concerns. I asked HANSON if he was ready to leave, and he told me that he was, I asked him to stay on site while I talked with MONTAIN. He agreed and had a seat in his vehicle. I approached MONTAIN and asked him what had happened today. He asked if we could speak in the office, which is a modified trailer home. We went inside, and MONTAIN told me that HANSON had arrived on the property today saying that he was going to do a follow up. He said that HANSON told him that the work had been done on the pen area was just a start and that he had a lot of work to do. I spoke with MONTAIN about HANSON’s visit today and on 11/23/13. MONTAIN told me that HANSON introduced himself as “OFFICER HANSON” and that MONTAIN felt that HANSON was an “enforcment authority.” When Montain was presented with the $153 veterinarian bill, he felt that he was obligated to pay it. He told me that he had approximately $2,000.00 invested into the cleanup of the animal pens between the vet bill and labor involved. MONTAIN said he had put approximately 10 hours into the cleanup and PAUL MONTAIN had put in approximately 8 hours into the cleanup so far. MONTAIN was wondering what to do if HANSON came back to the property. He said that he had been concerned about the previous visit as the female employee HANSON and two other females had talked to previously was pregnant and had been very upset about the incident (ICR 112036632). I advised MONTAIN that he was within his rights to trespass HANSON from the property. He was surprised to learn and seemed surprised when I advised him that HANSON was a civilian. MONTAIN requested that I assist him in advising HANSON of the trespass notice. He was debating whether he should just allow HANSON to leave no and trespass him if he returns in the future or if he would like HANSON trespassed immediately. I advised him that I could not make that decision for him. MONTAIN decided that to avoid future problems, he would like HANSON trespassed today. As HANSON was preparing to leave, he asked me if he needed to notify me that he was going to be investigating another complaint in Hugo. I told him that he did, and he showed me a form advising of a small dog tied up outside with no shelter at 5590 157th Lane in Hugo. I advised him that I would check on the dog, and if I needed assistance for anything, that I would notify him. HANSON was ok with that, and left the MONTAIN property. During this entire incident, my squad VHS tape was running. I have removed the tape and will give it to Sgt Johnson for further review. I did check the address listed for the dog complaint, and found that 157th Lane does not exist. I located the address of 157th Way and found that the complaint was unfounded.
