FACT VS RUMORS

The past Tuesday, Fairways Watch received notice of 3 sheriffs units [light bars on] at an address on Firestone St.We went to the location and watched from behind the patrol units. It became apparent that this was a private matter, with no ''call for service'' notice posted.After we left, the ''Rumors'' started.
  The Emails posted below should give the true facts. As it can be noted below ,I  went to Captain Brett Meade commander of Sector 2, O.C.S.O. for answers.

Subject: A REQUEST

GOOD MORNING SIR
  I have a simple question regarding a'' call for service''. this past Tuesday at aprox 12 noon, at 14581 Firestone St.  I have reason to believe that the 3 units responded to a domestic, medical situation. I know full well that domestic calls are not for public record[ as they should not be].
 However the'' ole rumor mill'', has started up, reporting that there was an aggravated assault committed, handcuffs and a resident being jailed.. I find nothing to validate the rumor. I have residents ,again raising issues about their safety.
  Without names or details can you help me debunk the rumor?
  Dont forget sir the new Cheddars will be opening soon. We can have a nice lunch and solve ALMOST all of the problems of East Orange County. 
 Channel 9 says you folks have been keeping busy!

ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR GOOD TEAM        BILL.

Bill,

I can’t give you any information regarding the call.  There was a call at that address but there is nothing for the residents to be concerned about and no safety issues for the park residents.

Thank you Bill, It's very enlightening that you stand firm against the rumor mill. I would rather read your blog than any other blog we have here in this park. You report the facts and remain unbiased. I am very much appreciative of your commitment to keeping us informed in a professional manner.

In answer to the person who asked why the paper eagle says one thing about the mess on spyglass and the digital eagle say another , don't forget the information you get from the digital is today's information not from 30days ago.

Was the felon addressed at the homeowners meeting? Is he still in the park?

RE ANON 12;54
I understand that there were 2 felon resident questions asked at the board meeting. The main question was directed toward the registered sex offender. --YES he is still in the park.
The second issue was ''is the felon jewel thief still in the park?
The answer is yes. Residents were told that ''she was not a felon''
I suggest that you check the state dept of corrections website. [link on this page]

Tell me if this is just a rumor Bill but was the felon jewel thief the one who stole from Steve Brauhn's mother-in-law? And has anyone asked her how she feels that the offender is still here?
