Mr. Harris should not
be denied any private property rights to his primary residence or any other
property, (vehicles), by local or state officials acting alone or with others, under
the color of law to deprive him of his exclusive right(s) to live in and enjoy

IDENTITY OF COMPLAINANT
The undersigned Edward Peruta, D.O.B 1-21-1949, of 38
Parish Road in Rocky Hill, and 8120 Holy Cross Place in Los Angeles, California,
is executing the following sworn statement of complaint regarding the facts and
circumstances that led to my arrest for Larceny in the third degree CGS 53a-124
and Conspiracy to commit larceny in the third degree by Sgt. Lenny Kulas and
Officer Brian Kelly of the Rocky Hill Police Department on the evening of
November 2, 2007 at Rocky Hill Police Headquarters.
REQUESTS FOR THE ARREST OF
ALL PERPETRATORS OF CRIMES COMMITTED
False statements
made by
cheryl valadez
and
attorney edward snow noble III
with
the rocky hill law firm of:
lefoll & lefoll
2301
Silas Deane highway
Rocky hill, CT
Sec. 53a-157b. (Formerly Sec. 53a-157). False statement in the second degree:
Based on the following information supplied in this
statement, the undersigned requests that any and all individuals, (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO CHERYL VALADEZ AND THE ATTORNEY
WHO ASSISTED HER AND JOINED IN MAKING THE FALSE COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR MY
ARREST) be arrested for violating C.G.S Section 53a-157b, by their INTENTIONAL FALSE AND
MISLEADING STATEMENTS OF COMPLAINT as conveyed verbally and/or in writing to
Sgt. Lenny Kulas and/or Officer Brian Kelly of the Rocky Hill Police
Department. Said false complaint is the
foundation which prompted Officer Brian Kelly to contact the undersigned on
unfounded, untrue, intentionally malicious facts that alleged that I had stolen
a motor vehicle that was, and is, titled and registered to Harris Agricultural
Enterprises Inc..
Sec. 53a-157b. (Formerly Sec. 53a-157).
False statement in the second degree: Class A misdemeanor. (a) A person is
guilty of false statement in the second degree when he intentionally makes a
false written statement under oath or pursuant to a form bearing notice,
authorized by law, to the effect that false statements made therein are
punishable, which he does not believe to be true and which statement is
intended to mislead a public servant in the performance of his official
function.
(b) False statement in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.
Criminal impersonation
Sec. 53a-130. Criminal impersonation:
In addition to making a criminal complaint regarding
the false and misleading statements of Cheryl Valadez, the undersigned requests
that Ms. Valadez be arrested for violating C.G.S. Section 53a-130, for
impersonating and holding herself out as a representative of Harris
Agricultural Enterprises Inc., with authority to report the theft of a
corporate vehicle and request the arrest of individuals she knew had authority
to take, operate and possess same.
Sec. 53a-130. Criminal impersonation:
Class B misdemeanor. (a) A person is guilty of criminal impersonation when he:
(1) Impersonates another and does an
act in such assumed character with intent to obtain a benefit or to injure or
defraud another; or (2) pretends
to be a representative of some person or organization and does an act in such
pretended capacity with intent to obtain a benefit or to injure or defraud
another; or (3) pretends to be a public servant other than a sworn
member of an organized local police department or the Division of State Police
within the Department of Public Safety, or wears or displays without authority
any uniform, badge or shield by which such public servant is lawfully
distinguished, with intent to induce another to submit to such pretended
official authority or otherwise to act in reliance upon that pretense.
It appears that the intentional, misleading,
untrue, fabricated, malicious
statements made by Cheryl
Valadez and her Attorney at the time they were interviewed and making
the complaints which led to my arrest, were made in such a false and convincing
manner, that both Sgt. Lenny Kulas and Officer Kelly, found it unnecessary
to:
1. Conduct due diligence regarding the facts of
the complaint.
2. Make any further inquires into the authority
of both complainants.
3. Take any sworn statements to document the
facts being provided.
4.
Seek any documentation from the
complainants, which authorized them to make criminal complaints
for theft of a corporate vehicle against a
known corporate officer or anyone with corporate permission
to retrieve, operate or relocate the
vehicle.
Absent the understanding and assistance of the Rocky
Hill Police Department and the Connecticut Criminal Justice and Judicial
system, the undersigned will be forced to address and resolve this entire issue
in the Federal and State civil courts at considerable expense to the
undersigned.
FACTS IN SUPPORT OF THIS
STATEMENT AND COMPLAINT
The undersigned Edward A. Peruta has been, and is currently, a corporate officer, (Secretary), and the agent of record for Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc. an active Connecticut Corporation as documented with and currently on file at, the Office of The Secretary of the State. This fact has been and currently is known to Cheryl Valadez and was not conveyed to members of the Rocky Hill Police Department at the time she and her attorney were reporting the theft of the vehicle in question.
My status with this corporation could have been, and currently may be verified via telephone, personal inspection of the public records, or via the internet on the official website of the Secretary of the State by going to http://www.sots.ct.gov/ and following the Business and UCC inquiries link on the home page. This link will take anyone with Internet access through the very simple procedure for obtaining verification that I am in fact the Secretary of the referenced corporation.
My personal identity as known to the complainant, together
with her prior and current knowledge that I am a Corporate Officer in Harris
Agricultural Enterprises Inc. and a lifelong friend and business associate of
Jeffrey B. Harris and in possession of a “GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY”
signed by Jeffrey B Harris. These facts
were known or made known to Cheryl Valadez, who currently resides as a GUEST
at 29a
As an attorney and officer of the Court, Ms. Cheryl Valdez’s attorney had the duty to perform due diligence regarding the authority of his client prior to participating in the complaint and joining her in demands that I be contacted, investigated and arrested for stealing a vehicle registered to Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc.
On October 30, 2007, just prior to 11:42am, I was appointed
the Attorney-Fact (“Agent”) for Jeffrey B. Harris through a “GENERAL POWER OF
ATTORNEY” which granted full power and authority to act in behalf of Jeffrey B.
Harris. This fact was made known, to Cheryl
Valadez, by Sgt. George Burns and Officer Clyde Tyler of the Rocky Hill Police
Department, during a previous incident that occurred at 29a
The “GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY” executed by Jeffrey B. Harris on October 30, 2007, grants to the undersigned Edward Peruta, the authority to manage and conduct ALL of Mr. Harris’s affairs, and to exercise ALL of his legal rights and powers, including all rights and powers that he may acquire in the future.
The fact of this “GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY” was made known to, and filed with, the Rocky Hill Connecticut Police Department by way of a copy of same that was supplied to Sgt. George Burns prior the complaint made by Cheryl Valadez.
The fact that Mr. Harris had been seriously burned in a fire at his farm in Wethersfield, CT. on the morning of October 29, 2007, and was unable to manage his personal affairs from the Burn Unit at Bridgeport Hospital was also known to Cheryl Valadez.
The undersigned as a corporate officer of Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc., has known since August 7, 2007, the date of a motor vehicle accident involving Cheryl Valadez as the operator, (while operating a vehicle on Griswold Road in Wethersfield, CT.), that she was prohibited from driving any vehicles registered to Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc., or Jeffrey B. Harris.
The corporate decision to prohibit Cheryl Valadez from operating any vehicles became, (what Mr. Harris describes as), an intolerable situation that involved extortion in the form of verbal attacks, harassment, threats of suicide, demands for a vehicle to operate, money and other items of value, and culminated with a recent trip to the Florida residence of her and her daughter, where she obtained use of a vehicle owned by her daughter.
While in Florida, Cheryl Valadez took possession of, and
returned to Rocky Hill Connecticut, operating a vehicle bearing Florida Passenger Registration “I20 LGN”,
(photographs are available), which she has had parked in front of Mr. Harris’s
primary residence at 29a Carillon Drive in Rocky Hill. (Photographs of vehicle at 29a
RELOCATION OF THE PICKUP TRUCK
On November 2, 2007, the undersigned had one or more phone conversations with Mr. Jeffrey B. Harris President of Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc. via telephone at 860-384-4881, (as documented on the call log of my cell phone and the long distant record of calls from my home phone), in the Burn Unit of Bridgeport Hospital, and was informed by him, of his desire to have a corporate vehicle moved from in front of his residence at 29a Carillon Drive, to the Harris Farm property located at 400 Two Rod Highway in the town of Wethersfield, CT.. Mr. Harris also made his desire to move the corporate pick-up truck known to Joey Freeman who is also an individual known to Cheryl Valadez the complainant.
Late in the afternoon of November 2, 2007, I was contacted by Joey Freedman, (documented on the call log of my cell phone), who informed me that he had received a visit from Cheryl Valadez who had requested that he assist her in fixing the door frame of 29a Carillon Drive. Mr. Joseph “Joey” Freeman informed me that he was hesitant to assist Cheryl Valadez in doing any repairs to the home of Jeffrey Harris without the expressed permission of Mr. Harris the owner, but that he would look at the door prior to moving the Black Ford Pick-up truck from the residence to the Farm. Mr. Freedman stated to the undersigned that Cheryl Valadez became very upset, made the statement that “THE TRUCK IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE”, and proceeded to exit his location and slammed the door behind her.
Mr. Joseph “Joey” Freeman then proceeded to contact the undersigned Edward A. Peruta and related what had happened with Cheryl Valadez, at which time I immediately made phone contact with Mr. Jeffrey Harris, the President of Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc., and informed him of the situation and statements of Cheryl Valdez.
At the direction of Mr. Jeffrey Harris, and as the Secretary of Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc., I informed Mr. Joseph “Joey” Freeman by return telephone call, that in my capacity the Corporate Secretary I would immediately pick him up at his Rocky Hill location and accompany him as a corporate officer while he relocated the corporate pick-up truck from 29a Carillon Drive to the Harris Farm property at 400 Two Rod Highway in Wethersfield.
At all times since the truck in question was purchased, titled and registered, I have had the right to possess and operate same with or without the permission of Mr. Jeffrey B. Harris, so long as I remained an officer of Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc.. In the case at hand, I had the undeniable right to recover, move, operate or authorize another do likewise.
While not necessary, I had the express permission of Jeffrey B. Harris, possession of a “GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY” executed by him, together with all other legal rights that allow me to perform the duties associated with Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc..
My arrest on the evening of November 2, 2007 is a direct result of the false information and complaints made by Cheryl Valadez and her attorney to members of the Rocky Hill Police Department together with the failure of the Rocky Hill Police Department to properly conduct the required due diligence necessary to validate the authority to make a complaint for my arrest.
I also believe that the presence of and statements made by her Attorney contributed in great part to the illegal actions that led to my unlawful arrest.
I therefore request that both Cheryl Valdez AND her attorney be arrested and charged with any and all criminal violations that may have occurred as a result of their false and misleading statements.
I further request that an immediate investigation take place into any and all violations of my civil rights as guaranteed by provisions of the Federal and State Constitutions.
Respectfully Submitted under oath,
OATH:
The facts and circumstances as stated in this affidavit and complaint are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief and are offered to the Rocky Hill Police Department with full knowledge of Connecticut Law and the penalties associated with making false statements.

Note
to file:
With
the current questions surrounding the legal right of Cheryl Valadez to remain
at or in 29A Carillon Drive in Rocky Hill, her lack of employment, illegal drug
use, and the fact that she is in possession of a vehicle registered in the
State of Florida, I believe that she may flee the
jurisdiction of the State of Connecticut if charged with criminal offenses.
ADDITIONAL FACTS SUPPLIED TO DETECTIVE ANDREW O'BRIEN OF THE ROCK Y HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT
At approximately 7:30 pm on November 2, 20007, I received a call from Officer Brian Kelley of the Rocky Hill police Department who informed me that he had taken a complaint regarding a stolen pick-up truck.
Officer Kelley asked me if I took the pick-up and I stated that I had.
I then asked Officer Kelley the name of the person who had made the complaint and he stated it was Cheryl Valadez.
I then asked if he had taken a sworn statement of the facts from the complainant.
Officer Kelly stated that he had not, and went on to say, “No, we don’t need to”
I
was incensed and extremely irritated with Officer Kelley’s answer, due in part
to the fiasco that had occurred earlier in the week when I had been unable to
remove the complainant Cheryl Valadez from 29a
I knew that the complainant had NO standing or authority to make a complaint regarding the theft of the vehicle, and wanted to use her WRITTEN sworn statement to have her arrested after presentation of the evidence in my possession.
I knew when I left my home that I was more than likely going to be arrested, because I was upset at the fact that Cheryl Valadez was again making false statements.
I proceeded to the Rocky Hill Police Department with an envelope of documentation, knowing full well that I was innocent of any allegations or complaints made against me and did not have to say anything to anyone.
Upon getting to the Police Department, I entered the building and was informed by the dispatcher that I was expected. I then went outside to have a cigarette.
I was invited back into the Police Department by Sgt. Lenny Kulas, and made a request that the interview be taped.
Sgt. Kulas told me that the interview would not be taped.
I then followed Sgt. Kulas into an interview room where Sgt. Kulas said “Ed tell us what is going on”.
Seeing a document in Officer Kelley’s hand, I asked to see the single page complaint form, and was allowed to view the Stolen Motor Vehicle form signed by Cheryl Valadez and verified that the truck was registered to Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc. of which I am the Corporate Secretary and Agent of record.
After seeing the form signed by Valadez, I proceeded to ask both Kulas and Kelley if they had checked the standing or authority of Valadez to make a complaint on the vehicle listed on the form.
They ignored my question and proceeded to ask me questions about the complaint.
1. Did you taken the truck - My response - Yes
2. Who was with you when you took the truck - My response - Joey
3. What is Joey’s last name - My response - I’m not going to tell you
4. Where is the truck now – My response - I’m not going to tell you
5. What’s this about a power of attorney - My response – so you’ve been told by the complainant that I have a Power of Attorney
6. Let us see the Power of Attorney - My response – I’m not going to show it to you, I could, but I didn’t take the truck using the Power of Attorney, I have the
legal right to take, operate and relocate the truck, and the complainant knows this.
I
then went on to ask if there was internet access in the police department, and
if there was, they could log into the Secretary of the State website and
check Business and UCC inquires for Harris Agricultural Enterprises Inc. and
verify my right to take, operate or relocate the vehicle. Sgt. Kulas nor
Officer Kelley were willing to check the
There may have been more comments back and forth, but I had decided to stand firm on the fact that I was the victim of a false complaint and did not have to answer any further unnecessary questions on this topic.
I then started my presentation to both Sgt. Kulas and Officer Kelly in this manner.
Sgt. Kulas you and I have known each other for a long time, but I don’t know you Officer Kelly, and you may not know me. But when this is over, you will know who I am, what I do, how I do it and how effective I am.
I then proceeded to ask both officers what they would do if I did not answer any further questions, and left them with the simple facts that I took and currently possessed the vehicle legally and would not answer any further questions. I ended by asking “What are you going to do”.
Sgt Kulas then stated that they would place me under arrest.
I then said, Ok, then lets end this right now, take what I am about to say to you like a grain of salt, but you two officers can go Fuck Yourselves, I’m not going to answer any further questions. I legally took the truck and legally possess the truck and you can do whatever you want.
Sgt. Lenny Kulas then jumped up and said alright, you’re under arrest, and I replied, then lets go to the booking room and get it over with.
The entire time of my presents in the booking room is believed to have been video and audio taped.
The
events at 29A
At
the time I arrived at 29a
Because the truck had ignition problems in the early morning hours of October 29th, it took several minutes to start the truck. Once started, I told Mr. Freeman to take his time because I thought that Cheryl was calling the police, and I wanted to be present when they arrived so that I could explain her lack of authority regarding the vehicle.
After
waiting a reasonable time, without the arrival of any Rocky Hill Police
officers, and not wanting to appear threatening in any manner, we proceeded to
move the truck to
Little did I realize that Cheryl Valadez may have been calling her attorney or his law firm prior to calling the police.
It was reported to me by Officer Brian Kelley following my arrest, that the Complainant Cheryl Valadez had the benefit of an attorney being present during her statement to Officer Kelly, and that her attorney had done most of the talking and made the actual request for my arrest.
Officer Kelley went on to explain that the Attorney, (now known to be Edward Snow Noble III with the firm of Lefoll & Lefoll in Rocky Hill), took an active roll in instructing, advising, counseling and assisting Cheryl Valadez in presenting information while making her complaint, and joined with her in verbally stating the untrue facts necessary to establish the elements necessary to report the vehicle stolen and request that arrests be made for theft of the pick-up.
“If a lawyer knows, or should know, that he or a lawyer in his firm is likely or ought to be called as a witness in litigation concerning the subject matter of the lawyer’s employment, the lawyer and the lawyer’s firm shall withdraw from representation at the trial unless the court otherwise orders.”
It also appears that the complainants Ms. Cheryl Valadez and her attorney Edward Snow Noble III, had knowledge of the power of attorney executed by Jeffrey Harris on October 30, 2007.
