there is no record that I can find online about it

Customer

also, I was thrown into an ATF investigation in Saratoga county around the same time and tried reporting an assault to the state boys, they said they'd inform the DA and never followed up with me

Customer

Gov Cuomo had me picked up by Sheriff's one day and brought to the psych ward for an evaluation. He had a hand in terrorizing me

Customer

I have paperwork to prove all of it

Hi. My name is***** am an attorney with 30 years experience and will try to assist you.

Mellie, Expert

If you were in an altercation with the State Police it is surprising that you do not have a case in court for resisting arrest and assault. It may be that as a result of your being evaluated in a psych ward criminal charges against you were dropped.

I am sorry you have had these problems and hope that things will be better.

Mellie, Expert

If you have a followup question please let me know. TY
