To whom it may concern.

On the 22, day of January 2020 about 3:00 p.m.,I Ramalle Meadows was leaving Loretta's

Adult Daycare center(10404 Vineyard Blvd. suite C-D)after completing my duties for the day

as an employee. I entered my vehicle and drove about 150ft to the next building at Loretta's

Home Health Care(10400 Vineyard Blvd. suite GlOl)where I am also an employee. I arrived

there to pick up my wife, Renita Meadows who is also an employee at both facilities named

above previously. Parking is tight due to numerous businesses/office buildings surrounding,

particularly Petro Land Services located at 10400 Blvd. suite C-D directly across from our office.
90% ofemployers are owners that own big trucks, mainly fords. As I was backing my truck into

a parking space, between my mother-in-law Mercedes Mrs. Loretta Thomas, who is the owner of
Loretta's Home Health Care and Loretta's Adult Daycare. I have 28inch wheels and tires on my

truck and they tend to rub the underbody dust cover when I turn my wheels to park or turn, and it

did just that. Also, while I was backing my vehicle into the parking space,I noticed three officers

who have been identified as Lieutenant Ryan Jacobson, Officer Tailor Harrill, and Corporal

Swartzbaugh watching as I parked. They where about to leave after finishing a previous call

concerning a tenant and building owner at 10400 N. Vineyard Blvd suite B also across from our

office. As I proceeded to park, I pulled extremely close to my mother-in-law gray Mercedes


Benz to allow my wife room enough to enter my vehicle. After parking,I was approached by

three officers and asked if I had the vehicle(grey Mercedes),I then told the officers I had not hit

anything! My tires rub when I turn my wheels and that's what they heard and even ifI hit the
vehicle, it's my mother-in-law vehicle and I have insurance and It can be taken care of. They
then asked again a couple of more times if I had struck the grey Mercedes and again,I told them
