The sheriff has always said that Hope was verbally & physically abusive. Well the verbal abuse I can believe, but the physical? Heres a video of her when she first comes into the station. I see NO physical abuse FROM her, only TO her. So it looks like the sheriff is caught in yet ANOTHER LIE! This is the BCI report that Agent Christy S. Palmer sent to John D. Ferrero, Prosecuting Attorney Stark County Ohio. Dated April 16, 2008 BCI Case #: SI-76-08-14-0147 This is part of page 3 s2.photobucket.com Sheriff Swanson has ALWAYS maintained that Steffey was ASKED & REFUSED to remove her cloths. But heres the BCIs OWN REPORT that PROVES this is a LIE! And then they try to explain away their first lie with another lie, about why it was done this way without asking Steffey to do it voluntarily. They are trying to say that Steffey was resisting enough that EIGHT people (5 women, 3 men) couldn’t take the chance of ASKING her to remove her cloths, or EVEN TELL HER WHAT WAS GOING ON!!! I did NOT see any resisting in the video, I saw eight cops parading her to the cell, with her in cuffs. In fact EVERY video I have seen she is in cuffs! And the ONLY times I have seen her react to the cops is after they have assaulted her or in the process of stripping her naked. And all the rest of the jail videos are posted on YouTube to prove that these accusations are lies too. (Look for Zemo999s videos) But apparently catching the sheriff’s dept in a lie isn’t a big deal to our “independent” BCI …
Kudos for the women comment, but I have to wonder why you would think that 10 people following a woman to a cell to strip her naked would be “bad judgement”. This is not only police (authority) abuse, this is criminal behavior. She was attacked twice in one night. And she should have been taken to a doctor.
I have a question. Is it legal for a male officer to undress a female officer without consent?
They should definately have criminal charges pressed against them. 128 women in 8 years is excessive. These people have been trained to have a mob mentality. Astounding.
I think it was because they DID like her.
Oboy, Turnip40 knows its not like seeing a doctor, this person is just a troll.
Even after all the evidence I have shown they still keep up with their antics. But they’ll have to do it elsewhere, or come up with a new handle, because I have blocked them from here.
And you are right, who wouldn’t feel violated?
Comparing being forcibly stripped by EIGHT people while its being videoed, and having your arms twisted until your yelling in pain, to see your doctor!?!?!
turnip is the grand troll
She was attacked 3 times that night, once by her niece and twice by the cops. She also suffered a concussion from the niece. And she tells her husband in her call that she thinks the cops broke her nose.
BTW the cops also tried to frame Steffey for the assault. This is a little tidbit that is ALWAYS left out of the news.
I’m still trying to get info from the sheriff, but they are fighting it & dragging their feet.
OOPS, I should have said at LEAST twice by the cops.
Since I also have the hall video that shows after they stripped her and left the cell, and video shows it being locked.
They then turn the video camera off, and then IMMEDIATELY open her cell again, and some of them re-enter her cell.
So who knows what they are doing with the camera off.
I ordered a copy of the the incident report on Hope’s arrest from stark county, and I was reading it over and saw that! I was so confused as to why she was listed as the assailant and her niece the victim!
Stark county officers are so insufferable.
Hey boys! This one’s kind of cute. Let’s rip her clothes off and bend her over the bed and watch her beg for mercy. Way to go COPS.
QUOTE “They claim to have asked her to strip and she said no.”
This was already proven to be a LIE, by their own investigation by the BCI.
Her claim that she was never asked was found to be the truth.
And this isn’t the only lie the cops were caught in.
The arresting Richard T. Gurlea Jr also lied under oath at Steffey’s trial.
Word limits here are tough…
HAHA
Then ask why the cops took only TWO written witness statements.
They got them from Steffey’s niece (the one that attacked her) & her brother (Who she no doubt threatened into siding with her).
There were PLENTY of other people there that saw as much or more, but they didn’t bother to get statements from them?? (Because they ALL said Steffey was the victim!)
The cop is trying to frame Steffey for the assault that she reported.
BTW her niece had been arrested just the month before for assault
Keep fighting the good fight Zemo. And yeah, the word limits are a bitch….
whats the diffrence between the SS and the police. NOTHING! we all are fucked it doesint matter if you are right or wrong you are still wrong they control your life in one min it can be all over.and you have no choice but to take it freedom my ass no one is free they can take it any time they choose. GOD BLESS AMERICA. :(……………
I have edited the information in the sidebar to provide the PROOF that Steffey’s allegations that they NEVER asked her or told her what was going on is the TRUTH, and that the Sheriff’s Dept LIED.
(As was apparent from the video all along.)
The amazing part is that ANY info came out of this “investigation” at all.
I would have to write a book to tell everyone what I have found out in all my time looking into this case.
And a lot of it is pretty disgusting.
@Zemo999 : Write the book! Expsoe these monsters at the Stark County Jail! It is more than disgusting! The treatment of Mrs. Steffey was absolute torture! And these sadistic deputies enjoyed torturing this poor woman, and then laughed about It. Why is this Jail still open? What do we have to do, to close the ABU GHRAIB OF OHIO? If the lawsuits keep being filed against Stark County, the county will simply file for bankruptcy, at taxpayer expense! I am disgusted!
Again the sheriff’s dept is being sued.
This is what I posted Oct 3 2008:
“A prisoner had been there TWENTY SIX times and NEVER exhibited ANY suicidal tendencies….UNTIL he too was placed on suicide watch!! So the sheriff’s policies are not only getting lawsuits, they are contributing to the deaths of prisoners? And the sheriff CONTINUES these polices! Will they be charged with murder the next time they drive a prisoner to take their life?”
Now another inmate died, another lawsuit, etc
For people that just think I am some kind of cop hater, I am usually on the cops side.
I have a lot of LEOs in my family, and I have friends that I have worked with for years on the county force.
This story went national, across the whole country!
Its crap LIKE THIS, that puts my relation & friends in a bad light and puts them at more risk when people see stuff like this reported in the news.
Stark County is a disgrace to ALL law enforcement across the whole country!
The questions u have to ask is: How did it get to this point?
Ok fuck the cops, they are garbage. Cops are usually ppl that barely made it out of High School and have an IQ of 40. Cops are ppl whose life didnt amount to shit and being a cop was all the could aspire to.
Now, if Steffey was in her residence, she could have asked the cop to arrest her attacker for trespassing, and assault. If the cops gives u shit, then u can tell him to GTFO cuz he too is trespassing. So how did it get to that?
Richard T. Gurlea Jr testified right away in his testimony that he felt that Steffey had disrespected him.
So from what I can tell when she kept asking for the license back, the cop finally got pissed & assaulted her. Then he realized what he had done, and so he HAD to charge her, to take the heat off of him. And since he didn’t have his video camera on, like policy says they MUST have, there was no way to prove the assault.
Instead the jury believed him, even though he made no sense.
Richard T. Gurlea Jr testified that the investigation was never finished because Steffey was in no shape to help.
So anyone knocked unconscious or killed will NEVER have their case solved?
Steffey went back 4 days later to file a complaint.
See? Makes no sense at all, until you see the incident report.
THEN you see that the cops were trying to FRAME the victim!

Cops aren’t the only ones in on this.
Called the Stark County Prosecutor’s office for info about the BCI investigation.
They claimed to have NO info about the case.
I said you ASK the state to come in & investigate and they didn’t send ANY report??
She replied, NO
THEN I told her I had ALREADY talked to the head of the investigation, Paul Scarsella, and I had ALREADY read the report they had sent them!
LoL caught them in another lie!!
These people are SCUM!
PIGS

PIGS
at 7:09 the tape is at 20:25:34 then it jumps to 20:25:40.
Yeah all the tapes seem to be this way. And this is exactly how I got them from the state, which got them from the Sheriff’s office. (Yeah the state “investigators” NEVER gathered evidence themselves, it was always supplied by the sheriff’s dept.)
Of course there are a couple places where the time stamps make no sense. Like the end of the hallway video I have posted. (read my comments on it)
Then the camera that ‘failed’ to record all of the strip video, it was NEVER inspected by the BCI
This stuff goes on everywhere now, google Why does the U.S. government torture people?
You will find out that Congress and the DOJ admit that cops beat, rape, and even murder people every day. It is standard operating procedure.
You will also learn how the cops get away with these horrible crimes.
