This is going to cover unlawful arrests, 100's of malicious 911 calls, work place harassment, forced resignation from 4 positions, animal abuse, psychological abuse, property damage, murder and sexual abuse, all of which the guilty got away free and framed one of the ones they were abusing.
From the first day I moved to Pine, my Neighbor who claims to be Mormon or as they prefer LDS, has harassed my family psychologically and physically. I have a big heart and desire to understand everyone and want the leave the world a better place. This guy is such a wolf in sheep clothing though and I didn't want to believe he could actually be intentionally evil. When i caught him throwing rocks at my dogs in my property and yelling at them, kicking my fence, shaking it ect. I felt bad for him and thought he must be afraid of them and is trying to establish some pathetic sense of dominance or was having other issues unrelated that i couldn't see. So I would just humbly bring my dogs inside. When he called animal control for me walking one of my dogs without a leash the next day & I got a ticket for dog at large, even though sammy wasn't at large, he stayed by my side the whole time and is a very well disciplined dog that doesn't run off for anything and shows no signs of aggression I was a little frustrated but let it go. He continued attacking my dogs almost every day and even bought a automatic machine gun bb gun that I and others caught him numerous times unloading on my dogs from his balcony, when all was quiet before he started shooting, then the SOB would call the cops for dogs barking. There is literally hundreds of incidences of him and his wife calling the cops for malicious fake calls and or petty things like my grass is too high, car parked 1 inch in the dead end road. I confronted him a few times when he was attacking them and asked him why he was and he said its because all pit bulls are evil and should be killed, I said well sir I think a lot of it has to do with how you raise them, then he stormed off. Another time he said why does your dogs bark at me and I politely said its because their scared of you because you attack them, he then said "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM! DO YOU KNOW WHO I KNOW! I CAN BARRY YOU!" and stormed off again. That was only after a few months of being there and theres a lot more details of all the things i did to be nice to him like how at first for a while when the cops showed up I didn't even mention Mark Newton and how he was attacking my dogs and thats why they are barking. I would of, but you see i asked the cops who complained and specifically if it was him and they lied and said it wasn't, so i wasn't going to throw him under the bus just because I was going down and I'm not the type of person that complains and I never met anyone i couldn't get along with yet. I'm soft spoken, optimistic, observant and a problem solver thats all about win/win for everyone. I did everything proactive that I could think of, he had a dog and I was very nice to him and got his dog to stop barking at me within a few weeks just by talking sweet to him. I built a lovely 7 ft lap siding fence vs the chain link that was initially there to prevent him from shooting them so easily. Help plough their driveway in the winter, offer them boxes of apples in the fall, ect. I lived there for 7 years and it only got worse up until I recently moved because my wife was having a baby and his violence was getting worse with breaking into our house when we were gone and the sheriff dept is a joke and never would do anything about it and treated me like I was the criminal! I worked construction which was unreliable and with getting a 500 citation every few months I never had any extra money to buy security camera's let alone a digital camera. I shouldn't of needed it though with all the witnesses, obvious malicious fake calls and a roof covered in rocks & yard full of bbs. I saw the need for deputies that would pay attention and do their job so I joined the volunteer organization sheriff posse, search and rescue and went to the community college for criminal justice, fire and ems and joined a volunteer fire dept. I thought that if the deputies could see my face as one of their own they would have to question their initial obscure view of me. I also joined the Pine Strawberry Fire Dept and on my first day I was confronted by 2 of the captains that were LDS and said they were friends with Mark Newton and that they know all about me and will be watching me. I wanted to tell them what kind of a person their friend really is, but I knew they wouldn't believe me yet. They would have to get to know me and see how kind, responsible and understanding I am and then they too would start to reconsider their misconception and they were starting to be kind to me after a few months. Mark saw this happening and only became worse and started calling everyday again with his false complaints of my dogs barking and I was arrested for a noise complaint even though my dogs never barked unless attacked or someone they didn't know came by and that would only be for a few moments and doesn't count as excessive barking. I was released and charges were dropped, but I was forced to resign from the fire dept, search and rescue and the sheriff posse which I could understand if I did something wrong. I wasn't going to leave yet and converted my car port into a garage because I was doing well flipping cars from impound auctions and turned my Arizona room into a actual room because I anticipated my family growing and believe it or not but we get a good amount of snow in the northern mountains of AZ and we just had a trailer to begin with but a beautiful yard with multiple aged fruit trees and lush vegetation. Actually the AZ room conversion took place right before the arrest, which is a obvious sign I planned to stick around. Then after regrouping from that loss I started converting the car port so it be done before winter so I could continue working on vehicles and this is when I got hit with 11 charges and a few home invasions and a lot more of harassment. The reason this complaint is against the LDS church is because the deputies that turned a blind eye, animal control officers that gave me unnecessary charges that mostly were completely fictitious and the fire dept captains WERE ALL LDS AKA MORMON, the KID that would walk by and holler crazy noises and break windows was LDS the building permit officer that made me tare down my garage because they said i need a permit when I just enclosed and re-enforced a existing structure was also LDS. The false witnesses that made a few additional complaints about my dogs, also LDS. I give most of them the benefit of the doubt that they were manipulated by Mark into thinking I was a bad person but that only excuses a small portion of the torment like the way the captains treated me at first, they were trying to be a good friend to someone that gives a good illusion that they're a good person. So anyhow 4 of the 11 charges were misdemeanour’s for allegedly a couple of my dogs killing another dog. 2 of the charges basically said that I made my dogs do it, those were dropped, but I was charged for the other 2 which basically mean I failed to prevent my dogs from killing another dog, even though the few people that witnessed the event at 2 am on a moonless night weren't convinced it was mine and said the faces were covered in blood. The court process was kind of a joke and prosecution evidence was a line up of pictures of only 3 of my dogs, one of which was murdered a couple years earlier and that was one of the ones the witnesses pointed at saying it could of been. I had noterized letters from neighbors that saw numerous times mark go outside when all was quite and shoot at my dogs, then call the sheriff dept to complain about my dogs barking, other letters from friends that seen that kind of activity, also letters from people that lived where I lived before me, but well Mark was the neighbor and they experienced similar treatment from him. People that have no connection to me, other than having the same awful person for a neighbor. One of which explained how he manipulated her into trusting him and then found out he was sexually molesting the old widows grand daughters that lived with her that would go over to hang out across the street because he seemed like such a nice guy and claimed to be a devoted Mormon. He told the little girls they would get in trouble if they said anything to anyone and would get taken away from their grandma if they said anything about what he made them do, but thankfully they were getting to the age that they could reason and had the courage to talk to the grandma about what mark was doing and then he started complaining about them first when the little girls started showing signs that they were going to say something and animal control made them keep their dog on a leash in the fence. All the charges of sexual abuse disappeared from record. If I would of known how bad he was I wouldnt of given him any slack. He is a monster and is protected and fueled by the mormon church so that makes them guilty in my book. As I knew he would lie in court, like he has been lying for years is why i searched out these noterized letters to supersede the false evidence against me, but as some of you already know, my noterized letters weren't allowed in criminal court, only civil court. ( I did not know this and was led to believe letters were accepted because lying letters are what was the grounds for charging me in the first place to bring about the trial). When my evidence was denied I asked for a continuance to arrange for at least a few of the witnesses I had to attend, but that was denied and Mark went on the stand and lied that my dogs killed at least 5 other times which there is no record of and I knew nothing about and doesn't even make sense because he's called myself with threats, the cops & animal control LITERALLY 100's of times for the most ridiculous of things and never mentioned that before. Anyways I almost became a monster because of all the twisted torment from years of being attacked then taxed for it and stuck with no way out. When I say almost everyday, I mean almost every day, it could be construed as everyday because of the ripple effects. This is a short version missing a lot of the details, but I promise before God, Gods or whatever you believe in that I did nothing to upset or incur such abuse. I used to believe in Karma, but I call BS on that simple philosophy because that BS is partly why I never did anything before my name was tarnished, I thought I must of done something to desire this and would look at my life and try to find someway I was less than perfect. Because I thought if I was good, life would be good, thats true to a point, but there is evil people and they don't play by the same rules, what brings them joy is opposite to you and I. They get a sense of joy by hurting people, it makes them feel less awful to see others suffering. Or so I suppose. I read hundreds of books on psychology, philosophy and religion, as well as a vast amount of self improvement books as a way to rationalize this torment but none of it really helped, what would help is people to not defend someone just because they claim the same religion, but actually check their actions.

I have just moved to Pine AZ and I would like to tell you that I feel for you and I am sorry this happened to you. The Prophet Joseph Smith was my cousin and what you described is the kind of thing Joseph encountered after his move from Vermont. I wonder if the church elders see the irony of this. On behalf of my cousin I would like to say how sorry I am. May the Lord be with you.
