Police Report In Hand – False Charges Unlikely – Defeat of Drulis-Freiman Lawfare Smear & Malicious Reckless Attempt to Bring Legal Harm

The relentless efforts of this editor and the power of our blow-by-blow FightBackBetter coverage has paid off. The police report over the infamous Montgomery Paris Baguette Incident of March 17 was finally provided to this FightBackBetter editor by the Montgomery Police on Friday, April 11. Hopefully this development puts an end to the attempt to stop me with a false lawfare malicious police felony bribery accusation by Roy Freiman, with admitted participation by Mitchelle Drulis and reportedly under the legal advice of Chief Democratic Assembly Lawfare Practitioner and Counsel (DAC) Nicole Brown.

While technically I can still possibly be charged over the malicious and fraudulent accusation, the likelihood is greatly diminished with the release of the report.

The attempt to contort NJ’s laws against bribery to charge me with a felony for protected free speech communication around the leveraging of voters power has likely failed.

They tried to twist my clearly and explicitly expressed pledge to leverage voter sentiment against a measure they were supporting as “bribery” and had they succeeded it would have outlawed much political speech – it would have made it illegal to leverage our votes in any way for any purpose. Why should we even have elections then?

They accused me of a crime for my protected free speech that was aimed at stopping them from taking our free speech protections away.  The harm they caused fortunately will likely not rise to the full potential of putting me in prison for the remainder of my life.  That is exactly one thing that could have happened as a result of the reckless disregard for my legal well being that has amply been shown by Drulis and Freiman under the advice of DAC.  A full exploration of the harms Drulis, Freiman, advised by DAC Brown caused to me is forthcoming.  

From the police report, it is now known that the matter was unnecessarily bounced to NJ OAG by the Somerset County Assistant Prosecutor Lyons for 3-weeks after he determined that it was NOT bribery.  Why was that? 

They held it over my head.  It was a form of psychological torture.  It undermined my ability to successfully launch a political campaign to challenge the despotic fascist cop callers Freiman and Drulis who made no apparent effort to reign in the damages from their harmful action to this taxpaying, citizen, resident, voter and constituent – a constituent of LD 16.  They intentionally, willfully, maliciously brought me legal harm that could have literally killed me if I was sentenced – NJ law provides sentencing up to 10 years for bribery. 

This editor will also be recommending an audit of the police report handling using my false case as a microscopic look at what is wrong in Montgomery Township police and Somerset County – fixing that will be a concern for my campaign if it survives the devastating toll of the false accusation.

The following are the text descriptions from both police reports released to me yesterday. Friday April 11.

First Report Filed March 19, Approved March 20

I was provided State Assemblyman, Roy Freiman’s, contact information and advised to contact him regarding an incident that occurred on 3/17/25. I contacted Roy who advised that while at an event at Paris Baguette, he was approached by Robert Witanek. Roy advised that Robert was recording the interaction. Roy advised that Robert stated that he would run against Roy unless Roy would drop legislation that he was proposing. Roy spoke to his attorneys, and it is his opinion that Robert was attempting to bribe him. Roy advised that he wanted the incident documented. I responded to <address redacted> and made contact with Robert. Robert asked if he was being detained and advised that he would not elaborate on the interaction between himself and Roy. That concluded my conversation with Robert. BWC was utilized. I contacted AP Lyons who advised that he did not believe that this incident constituted bribery, but that I needed to contact the Office of Attorney General to report the incident. I contacted the AG’s Office- Division of Criminal Justice and left a voicemail informing them of the incident. The voicemail automated message indicated that I would get a call back at their earliest convenience

Second Report Filed April 9, Approved April 10

04/08/2025 

On the above date, I contacted Deputy Chief Pentony of the Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability, as directed by the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office. I advised her of the complaint, and she stated that she would document the information and forward it through her chain of command. She also advised that no further action was needed from our agency at this time.

JUST THE FACTS, MA’AM!

So the facts are this: The original police report was filled out on the date that the cop came to my door, Wednesday March 19.  On March 19 AP Lyons, from Somerset County Prosecutor’s office, determined it was not bribery.  BUT!!! He commanded per the police report that the matter must be sent to OAG.  When I interviewed a Montgomery officer on March 28 I got 3 stories – that it was sent up because it was a politician that made the complaint, that it was because the level of the charge was a possible felony and that it was “screened” by Somerset County Prosecutors – as if they grabbed it.  Police are allowed to lie so which version and how much truth to each version is specualative. 

Here are just some of the questions regarding the police report:

What was going on between March 19 and April 8 at OAG?  The police report states that the Montgomery Police sent it to them on March 19 and it looks like Montgomery reached out to OAG on April 8 and OAG advised to close the matter.  So why was it at OAG for so long and was it being reviewed?  Was there political pressure to hold it there?  Was it sitting in a queue getting no attention? Why did Montgomery Police and the Somerset Prosecutor’s Office wait so long to follow up with OAG?

MONTGOMERY POLICE HAD APPROVAL TO RELEASE APRIL 8 AND DELAYED UNTIL APRIL 11: WHY?

Another question for Montgomery – so when your officer and / or AP Lyons finally decided to follow up with OAG on April 8 and they said to close the case – why was there an additional delay from when OAG said to kick the case on April 8, delaying the report write up until April 9 and the approval of the report further delayed until April 10, and then finally the release of the report again delayed until April 11? I e-mailed Montgomery records staff person April 8, April 9, April 10 and April 11.  It seems even after all of my effort to demand the police report relentlessly – it could have easily been released by Montgomery on April 8.  Instead Montgomery Township Police intentionally extended the legal harm 3 more days!

Was there political pressure on Montgomery to delay the release?  Was it just being totally inconsiderate to me – who is a taxpayer who helped pay for their nice new facilities and their salaries and overtime?  Was it just incompetence?  Was it intentional to maximize the legal harm?

I have questions – more of them.  

I have love too!  For everyone who supported me in any way through this ordeal of worrying about potential felony charges from a reckless and malicious act of Drulis / Freiman.

Some folks wrote supportive articles and statements, some circulated the FightbackBetter links, privately pressured Freiman and Drulis and the OAG to back off, gave me support and advice privately and otherwise helped me fight this repression.  I am glad that I have the powerful tool of FightBackBetter where I was able to publicly make a record of the foolishness mobilized against me – making it clear that any attack against me is fully exposed as it happens.  

Honestly I have been disappointed in some whose reaction to my circumstance was not to get closer to me – to get in front of me and next to me and behind me but to step away or ignore my situation.  In a way though it is removal of a shield of superficiality and gives me a better sense of who will be in my corner or not in even worse circumstances.

To all of those who might have played some hand overt or covert in this whole process – I dance in your face.  

My memory will be as long as I can extend it and I will do my best to incorporate all of the lessons of the experience and I am proud of myself, my FightBackBetter news site and all of those who did get me – a strong contingent.  I for now am unfettered with false legal charge and I intend to continue to fight back and to try to do it better – every day!
