She stated this individual and a certain officer are in cahoots together, <br /> and filed falsified documentation that her husband threatened him. She stated she feels like she <br /> and her husband have no civil rights. She stated that her husband told this individual to let him live <br /> his life and this individual live his, and now her husband is in a psych facility. She stated she is <br /> making a stand for her family's civil rights, and nobody is going to stop her. She stated she is sick <br /> and tired of being treated like a rabid animal in this town and she doesn't know what she's done or <br /> her husband has done and it has got to stop. She then stated, "Okay? Y'all need to get it together, <br /> because it is about to get really nasty." Councilman Zemanek asked if this is a threat. As she was <br /> walking away, Ms. Dodge replied, "No, it's not a threat." <br /> There were no additional public comments. <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br /> Feb. 13, 2017, Council Meeting Minutes <br />
