RE: Color of law complaint - Failure to protect domestic violence victim / whistle blower; unlawful police entry into home: Porter County Indiana Superior Court Judge William Bradford; Porter County Indiana Superior Court Magistrate James Johnson; Portage IN Mayor James Snyder; former Portage IN Mayor Olga Valezquez; former Portage IN Police Chief / former FBI Agent / Current East Chicago IN Police Chief Mark Becker; City of Portage Indiana; Porter County Indiana; Portage Indiana police department.


On October 07, 2010 Portage Indiana police officers and my ex-husband unlawfully entered my home. My ex-husband, who had a protective order against him and a previous conviction for threatening to kill. I was put out on the street with nothing and the police turned my home over to my ex. The police also gave my dogs Abbi and Bailey to my ex, who later had them euthanized.

At the time of the unlawful police entry I was the whistle blower of Porter County Superior divorce court Magistrate Johnson. The State was in the process of investigating Magistrate Johnson for his failure to issue final rulings in approximately 100 divorce cases.

The State was also reviewing my complaints surrounding Johnson's failure to protect me, a domestic violence victim. Johnson had failed to uphold an arrest warrant against my ex, and repeatedly failed to uphold the protective order.

Other complaints filed against Johnson centered around his retaliation against me after I exposed his failure to uphold Porter County Local Court Rule 2100 - Mandatory Financial Declaration Forms in divorce cases. Instead of the County investigating and correcting the error with other cases, Johnson was allowed to use my divorce case to retaliate against me.

The Magistrate's actions against me and the violation of my rights through the abuse of his position are documented in my court transcripts.

The State's investigation and my complaints against Magistrate Johnson disappeared after the unlawful entry into my home.

During the past two years, I have contacted numerous Indiana officials. I have been ignored. In July 2012, a Portage city councilman sent me an office memo that Mayor James Snyder had sent to all city officials. Snyder instructed everyone to not respond to my requests for help; answers to the unlawful police entry; and accountability for the deaths of my dogs Abbi and Bailey.

I have posted the documentation for my Color of Law Complaint on my website:
