I was falsely arrested at the Osco Drug Store
on McDowell Road and Central Avenue in
central Phoenix Arizona. The address is
1525 N Central Avenue
Phoenix, Arizona
85???
(602)256-2124
I went in by the gaurd at the entrance
grabbed a can of 25¢ soda and
one of those 25¢ brownies.
Both items are at the very front of
the store as you walk in.
I then walked back a few feet to the
cashier and waited in line to pay.
I think there were only two people
in front of me. Maybe three people
with only two of them paying money.
Scott the long haired cashier
who looks more like a drug addict
run me up for a whopping 50 cents.
His badge said his
name was Scott. But the name on
the cash register receipt said
"Hello, I'm ASST".
I searched my right pants pocket for the change.
I pulled out a 3.75 ounce bottle of Save-On
Petroleum Jelly I had bought the prior Sunday
prior to noon (I bought it at the same store
before going to the Library well now i dont
remember for sure. it could have been after
I went to the library, any how get a copy
of the recept) and looked for change in my
pant pocket. I didn't find the 50 cents.
I put the Petroleum Jelly back in my pants
pocket and grabbed a 5 dollar bill out of
my wallet and gave it to Scott the cashier
to pay for my 50 cent purschase.
Scott the cashier told me that I had to show
him the bottle of Vasoline in my pants pocket
so he could prove I didn't steal it. I don't
remember his exact words.
I told him "no I was not going to show it to him"
like I would tell any police officer who demanded
that I flush my 4th Amendment Right down the
toilet and submit to a search with out a search
warrent.
Scott appeared to be very shaken that a person
like me had refused him to allow to search me.
His face was like eeeeek.
Scott told me "I had to show the vasoline to him"
several more times. Again I don't know his exact
words.
Scott also said something to the effect that
"this was his job (searching me) and he had to do it".
again I don't remember his exact words.
Finaly Scott said that if I continue to refuse
to show him the vasoline in my pocket he was
going to call the manager.
The manager Coray Neilson told me several times
that I had to show
him the vasoline in my pocket so he could prove that it was not
stolen. And I refused several times.
I was thinking geezed don't these idiots know
what probable cause is.
Coray the manager at one time said something
like "Why on earth would I have a bottle of vasoline
in my pocket if I didn't steal it"
He also asked me if I showed the vasoline to the
gaurd when I was entering the store.
He also said if the stuff I had was a brand they
didn't sell it was no big deal and they would'nt
arrest me and would forget about the whole thing.
And he gave me several other reasons why i HAD TO
SHOW HIM the stuff in my pants pocket.
I have been through this many times before when
police thugs with guns demand that I flush
my right down the toilet and answer their
question allow them to search me with out
a warrent. So I didn't have any problem
with this jackbooted Osco Store managaer
named Coray Neislon and continued to
refuse to show him what was in my pocket
despite his demands.
Finally the Osco manager Coray Neilon told me
that I had to show him what was in my pants
or I would be arrested.
With that statement I assumed that the Osco
store manager was placing me under resist
and I submitted to the false arrest.
At this point I remember having a customer
witness staring on, or perhaps it was another
OSco employee I dont remember. THe video tapes
will show.
I pulled the bottle of vasoline out of my pants
pocket, pulled the cap off of it and showed
the manager and Scott that duh!!! it was 80
percent EMPTY.
Both Scott and the manager seemed to say with
their looks DUH! we F*CKED UP!.
I then told the manager that he was a jackbooted
Nazi thug for falsely arresting me and illegally
searching me.
He denied falsly arresting me and said he made
me show him the stuff before allowing me to
buy my stuff! Yea sure asshole, after the arrest
turns bad you deny it.
Our manager did write his name on my receipt.
Scott gave me my change and started to leave the store.
On the way out I asked the gaurd why he didn't stop me
and make me empty my pockets before I entered the store.
I also commented that I didnt even go to the back of
the store where I would have had to go to steal
the vasoline.
The gaurd seemed to be aware of my false arrested and
he said he chose to stay out of it.
To add insult to injury while I was talking to the gaurd Scott came up front
and told me if i was going to continue to make trouble
I would have to leave the store.
I suspect the manager told him to do it.
I wasn't making trouble. I was just talking
to the gaurd about my false arrest.
I told Scott he was a jackbooted Nazi thug and
left the store. Scott piped up he wasn't a
nazi.
