During the first hearing on the restraining order against Richard Henson, last week, Mr Henson produced a report that he had acquired from the Fortuna Police Department. He attempted to use it as evidence of something, but it was just used as a prop - it was never introduced as evidence - and so I was unable to get a copy of the document in question. However, it was dated 30 October 2014, and it was related to a call Richard Henson had made to the Fortuna Police Department regarding a suspicious vehicle that was parked at 137 12th Street, between 0630 and 0930, on that date - 30 October 2014. Falsehood #1: Richard Henson said that he was at 137 12th Street on work-related business. I spoke to the owner of Coastal Tree Service - Tom - and they affirmed that Richard Henson was not there at 137 12th Street, at the instructions of his employer. Truth #1: Paul, maintenance man for 137 12th Street, noticed that the Coastal Tree Service truck was parked in the back lot of 137 12th Street, Thursday morning, 30 October 2014, and called Tom, the owner, and asked him not to park it at 137 12th Street any more. Indeed, Richard Henson is the one who suggested parking the truck at 137 12th Street . He stopped parking it here after he moved to Rio Dell ... but, recently - within the past month, I think, after he assaulted me - he started parking the truck there, again. (It's possible that the attack on me, the next day, at the intersection of Newburg and South Fortuna Boulevard, might have had something to do with that earlier interaction between Paul, and Tom, the owner of Coastal Tree Service. Richard Henson was very upset that I was talking to Tom. He didn't say anything to the judge about Paul's earlier call.) Falsehood #2: Richard Henson said that he observed an unknown individual in an unknown vehicle, but he described my vehicle - a gray van. Truth #2: Richard Henson obviously knew whose vehicle it was. And so this is another bald lie. I suspect the call was made to create an excuse for him being at the apartments, and to ingratiate himself with the officers by posing as a concerned citizen. Falsehood #3: Richard Henson said this suspicious person was there from 0630 to 0930. Truth #3: I get up before anyone else in the household, make breakfast for four children, and see that four children are delivered to school, involving somewhere between two and three separate departures - inconsistent with Mr Henson's claim that this suspicious person was present for three hours, continuously. Falsehood #4: Richard Henson implied he was in a position to observe this person for this span of time. Truth #4: Richard Henson was on the other side of the apartment complex. My apartment cannot be seen. He could not have seen what he said he saw from where he was supposedly waiting. Falsehood #5: Richard Henson came to 137 12th Street for business reasons. Truth #5: Lacking evidence to the contrary, Richard Henson was stalking me and my family for three hours. He surely was not cutting any trees. When I brought these five points up during the hearing, last Monday, Richard Henson poured forth a veritable barrage of spin-doctor verbage, claiming that he'd really been talking about himself, and doing his very best, IMHO, to confuse the judge. I really need to get the transcript of the hearing - although I did not say anything much about the bed bug problem, it was clearly a topic that loomed large on Richard Henson's mind. Quite rightly, I hold him responsible for allowing a bedbug infestation to take root and flourish while he was collecting money to manage the apartment complex. What was he being paid for? He was derelict. He refuses to admit it. The man rented me an apartment that he had left empty for EIGHT MONTHS because of a bedbug infestation ... and he didn't say a SYLLABLE to me or any other member of my family. That's not going away. As I said to the judge last Monday, Richard Henson regards my every attempt to corroborate his statements or to verify the integrity of his assertions, as quote-unquote "harassment". But how do we discover the truth without asking hard questions? Based on information and belief, the man is a pathological liar - he lies by reflex. None of us is an angel. You gentlemen know that better than most. But I sure hope you are taking his reports of crime with a grain of salt - he seems to see the police as a weapon, and doesn't seem to realize that he is wasting resources with false reports of criminal activity.
