Dan Reppucci refused to sign the check or the financial form until he had an opportunity to review the paperwork and make sure it was completed properly and told Chief Phillips he would take it home and review it.
Chief Phillips refused and would not allow him to take it home and insisted everything was filled out correctly and all that was needed was his signature.
This was 3 weeks after Chief Phillips put Det. Sgt. Reppucci on administrative leave. Chief Phillips accusing him of stealing a grievance letter that he hand delivered to the Chief, by breaking into his office (he’s had a key for some 5 years) removing the grievance letter from a sealed envelope, showing members of the public and then returning the letter back to Chief Phillips office.
There was no reason for Dan Reppucci to accept Chief Phillips word on anything at that point since he denies the charges against him and feels that Chief Phillips has no integrity and he didn’t trust him to do anything properly.
Dan Reppucci told him that he would sign the stuff when he was given the time necessary to review it and not before. Chief Phillips was clearly agitated that Dan Reppucci would not comply with his request and stated that all paperwork was in order while blurting out that he had to go to the bank and request years of bank statements in order to fill out the paperwork. Chief Phillips at that same time got challenged when asked if he would just sign a check and tax return without looking at and he turned waved his hand that was holding the papers above his shoulder in a frustrated manner and said don’t worry I’ll take care of it myself.
That raised a question in Dan Reppucci’s mind – HOW COULD CHIEF PHILLIPS BE AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS AN ACCOUNT THAT HE DOESN’T HAVE ACCESS TO ????? – THE ONLY TWO AUTHORIZED SIGNATURES ON THE ACCOUNT WERE DAN REPPUCCI AND THERESA SEPE.
Dan proceeded directly to TD Bank in Winchester and spent the next half hour or so trying to find out how someone from the association could access that account when they have no authority and in this case someone who was not even an Officer of the association.
Although the representative of TD Bank could not tell Dan how such a mistake could have been made, she assured him that it was an error that nobody should have been able to access that account other than himself and Thersa Sepe, whose name was still on the account. This confirmed Dan’s other question which was did anyone remove his name from the account? He was told that the account was in the names of himself and Theresa and those are the only two people with access to the account and only they can make changes to it. He received a document from TD Bank that showed both himself and Theresa as the legal signers of the account.
Dan and Warren Breau had decided that they needed to contact Theresa Sepe, inform her that her name was still on the account, make available to her the documents that were in their possession for her review, have her name removed and have the current President, Warren Breau added as a signer.
Dan put the representative of the bank on notice that he did not trust that Gary Phillips would not use his title of Chief in an attempt to gain access to information he did not legally have the authority to have.
After leaving the bank Dan called Theresa Sepe and left her a message to call him. When he did not hear from her by the next day he called and left another message.
In the mean time on July 29, 2009, Dan tried to get in touch with Maryan Platz, the WPA Secretary regarding information about the association through an email. Dan went to TD Bank to have Theresa’s name removed from the account as planned. Theresa called Dan when he had just arrived at the bank and he explained what he was doing regarding the Police Association. All of these phone calls can be verified by cell phone records.
As Dan Reppucci pulled into the bank parking lot that afternoon so did Chief Phillips. Chief Phillips went into the bank before Dan Reppucci and he in fact didn’t see Dan there. Dan waited for the Chief to come out and after about 15 minutes of waiting Dan went into the bank. Both representatives were busy helping customers behind closed doors; one of those being helped behind closed doors was Chief Phillips. Chief Phillips realized Dan was there when he glanced out the glass door and appeared very nervous and kept looking over towards Dan. Dan waited another 10 to 15 minutes before the representative not helping Chief Phillips became available. It was the same representative as who helped the day before. She took Theresa Sepe’s name off the account, they discussed the need to protect the account, and that Warren Breau would be in the following day to sign the signature card. After about 15 minutes the banking was done and as Dan was leaving he noticed that Chief Phillips was still there behind closed doors.
Dan ended up running into someone in the parking lot and chatting, Chief Phillips left. He had been at the bank for almost an hour, it was now approximately 2:45. Shortly after Chief Phillips left Chris Roberts went into the bank and a few minutes later he walked back out. Dan never received any phone calls or emails from Maryan and decided to get in touch with Warren.
That night after discussion with Warren Breau, Dan and Warren decided to send a letter to the selectmen and Bob Gray via email explaining that the donation of the table by the association was not done in accordance with the WPA by-laws. They also explained that due to the seriousness of Chris Roberts actions and the fact that nobody was responding to the questions they were asking that they concluded that the AG’s office would need to be contacted.
The following day, July 30, 2009, it was decided that it would be more prudent to go to the AG’s office in person rather than send everything in the mail.
In preparation for going to the AG’s office, Dan Reppucci attempted to download some banking information online and was unable to access the account. He immediately called the bank and after some confusion was told the account he was trying to access had been closed. He was told that Chief Phillips and Chris Roberts submitted a letter informing the bank that there had been changes with the elected officers and that a vote was taken appointing Chief Gary Phillips as the acting treasurer. This made Chief Phillips a signer on the account and Chris Roberts a signer. After many phone calls with TD Banks legal and security departments and Dan’s insistence that what was done was illegal and against the by-laws of the association the bank conceded that the paperwork provided by Chris Roberts and Chief Phillips did not in fact give the bank any authority to close the bank account. TD Bank closed the bank account opened by Chief Phillips and Chris Roberts and reopened the original bank account closed because of the fraudulent letter Chris Roberts submitted to the bank. This was enough to convince the bank to re-open the original account that authorized Dan Reppucci as the signer.
Dan proceeded to the AG’s office. When he got there he found out that Chief Phillips had been there earlier that morning and dropped off the financial forms and also paid the filing fee of $225.00 in cash. Why would that be? This is very unusual especially when it involves a business transaction. Could it be that on his way up the Secretary Maryan, or maybe it was Chris Roberts called Chief Phillips and told him not to use a check as the account had been closed because the paperwork provided was illegal and the bank had to put the account back into Dan Reppucci’s name? The bank put the account back in Dan Reppucci’s name so as to be in compliance with the by-laws of the association.
As Dan is telling his story to Christine Gaunt, Investigative Paralegal at the AG’s, he gets a phone call from TD Bank informing him that the bank has received more paperwork from Chief Phillips and Chris Roberts and this time it is the appropriate paperwork to close out the account and remove him from having access. At this point the investigator moves Dan Reppucci into an interview room and an investigator by the name of Terry Knowles joins them. Dan proceeds to tell his story.
The following letters were received by the AG’s office and show to what extent Chief Phillips and Chris Roberts went through to deceive not only the bank but also the members of the police association and the Police Officers of the Town of Winchester.
Going against the by-laws, Chris Roberts and Gary Phillips concocted a story first on July 29, 2009 that informed the bank in a bold-faced lie that due to recent changes with elected officers of the WPA no one was available to sign checks and Chief Phillips was appointed the acting treasurer.
The alleged officers not available were Dan Reppucci and Warren Breau, make no mistake were both active officers of this association and still are and this is in fact confirmed by the AG’s office.
1.) Abuse of power – this is a Non-Profit Organization and as such, police titles are not used. There are NO positions of Chief in the association and therefore the letter reeks of intimidation made by a false sense of authority.
2.) When it was found out that the scheme they attempted to use for deception at the bank didn’t work the first time, they tried it again, this time in a different way.
3.) Now in another bold faced lie in an attempt at deception Chris Roberts creates a MEMO and about how the association doesn’t have anyone to sign checks because of personnel issues. Then he asks that the members sign off at their convenience on the two questions posed on his memo.
4.) The by-laws clearly state no officers are voted for except for at a meeting and by a secret ballot, which only the President in this case Warren Breau, is only person authorized to call a meeting and not done on a clipboard at the front window, which is how it was done to obtain signatures. Again violating the association are the titles next to everyone’s name. This was a clear violation of the by-laws of the association and was done surreptitiously.
5.) A little intimidation might be that the two head honchos are at the top of the list and the rest are called and told they need to stop by and answer the questions. What a coincidence that everyone voted unanimously.
6.) Worse yet was when Maryan Platz certified that all the deception was true.
7.) In accordance to the by-laws, in order to become a member of the WPA you have to be off probation. Officer Meacham (less than 90 days employed), Officer Fisher (less than 30 days employed), Officer Ziegler(less than 30 days employed) and Officer Smith (less than 1 year employed) were not authorized to give their signatures let alone cast a secret ballot, which is required in accordance to the by-laws and was not done in this particular situation. This another violation of the by-laws orchestrated by Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts. On it’s face the signature shows 11 members agreeing to the changes but in reality if you remove the 4 officers noted you only have 7. Victor Malavet, Warren Breau and Dan Reppucci were not notified and this clearly shows another blatant violation of the by-laws.
As Chris Roberts and Gary Phillips know, the Police Association and the Police Department have nothing to do with each other. In fact, both Dan Reppucci and Warren Breau were both still very much members of the association and until the President, Warren Breau, holds a meeting, no voting could take place to vote anyone in or out of office.
At the present time the WPA has been advised that any and all WPA meetings were to cease until the AG’s office completed their review
I’m not sure what kind of associations Chris Roberts and Gary Phillips were used to being in, but I can tell you from reading the by-laws of this association they violated many of them in their attempt to push people out of their way.
Gary Phillips himself has bragged that he wrote these by-laws while in Jaffrey and how these by-laws are still used by the Jaffrey Police Association today.
Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts actions show their clear and calculated intention to falsely represent themselves as officers of the WPA granting them authorization to access the WPA bank account. This was an act of deception and done to intentionally deceive.
The paperwork they presented to the bank was meant to deceive and allowed them to fraudulently close a bank account with someone else’s name on it.
Dan and Warren were able to get the following information from the AG’s office through a RTK request.
Presently, TD Bank has put a hold on both accounts pending the outcome of the AG’s office findings.
The mere fact the TD Bank closed both accounts is evidence enough that Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts actions were dishonest.
What Chris Roberts and Gary Phillips did was no different than a family member, friend or stranger going to the bank with a coyly written letter with the intent to influence , coerce, dupe or trick a bank official into falsely closing one account and falsely opening another account.
Their EGOS got the better of them.
Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts egoistical, narcissistic, self serving personalities will get the best of the them and may very well cost this town several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees, punitive and compensatory damages.
If the members of the WPA were clearly informed of the situation, would they have voted the way they did? I should think not. Would Officers Meecham, Fisher, Ziegler and Smith have voted had they been made aware they were not eligible to vote? If the officers had any integrity, the answer is obvious NO they would not have.
The couple of disgruntled employees that Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts were talking about haven't been around for months - why is it there seems to be more problems now than ever before?

If a law enforcement employee is found guilty of something illegal isn't it possible to lose the pension? Sounds like Chief Phillips may save the state some money.All that detail work that inflates the pension would be for nothing.
I don't know if that is true or not but you no darn well that if that happens they won't be able to pad the pension any more than they already have at our expense.
You don't suppose that the chief knows enough about one of our selectmen that might put his pension in jeopardy. That would make it easier to understand why nothing is being done to turn the PD around.
Get rid of the chief and the selsetman in question.
Get rid of the BOS and Gary Phillip and Chris Roberts and Nate Jette.
They have all known right along and have been covering each others butts.
Chris Roberts was demoted in Hinsdale. Why?
Gary Phillips brought him on board. Why?
Nate Jette has admitted to being in possession of property not belonging to him, destroying other property while on duty and disposing of property while on duty. Rumor has it he also recently mishandled yet more property. And he admitted to taking windshield wiper fluid from the police department among other things.
So far the Informer has been able to backup the statements and it's the police dept and Gary Philips who can't. I'm putting my money on the Informer that we'll get the rest of the truth.
On the July 29th Memo by Chris Roberts on his stationary, why is it that everyone on the signature page has a place and a title on the signature line. Example, Chief Phillips, Lieutenant Roberts, Master Patrolman Jette. This is the Winchester Police Association folks and not the police department. While it is true that the member of the Winchester Police Department make up the members of the association, police department titles mean nothing in the police association. The only titles in the association are President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Do you see some bullying here by the people in charge of the police department? Very interesting that the Chief is the first one to sign the document and the Lieutenant is the second one. If your boss came to you with a document like this wouldn’t you feel intimidated into signing it too? This is abuse of power.
I hold the BOS responsible for both Phillips' and Roberts' actions and deception. It is time that someone.....ANYONE...stand up for what's right...I think Phillips should be on mandatory leave until this debacle is fully investigated. The fact that the AG's office is involved, and that TDBank has taken action with both accounts needs to be taken seriously by our elected officials.
Where's the town attorney's we've paying and paying for? Hasn't anyone told them what's going on? And if they haven't why not? Is everybody getting fed a line?
I personally don’t see how Gary Phillips could have promoted somebody he didn’t trust. I heard him say numerous times “I don’t trust Chris Roberts”, “I don’t trust Chris Roberts.”
Gary Phillips along with Chris Roberts deceived a bank and had that bank change account information. They gave the bank an official looking letter and used their jobs as police officers into misleading and intimidating bank employees - it was misuse of power - plain and simple. That is 1.) illegal and disgusting to even do 2.) against the bylaws so they knew what they were doing was wrong there too. What's worse is they deceived the bank 2 times. When it didn't work the first time they went back and polished up a letter to make it look more official because they didn't get it right the first time. In the second letter they write how they had a vote. Another lie according to the memo Roberts writes. In the memo Roberts says they need to vote on a couple of issues and they do this openly? Lets see, by the time all this was going on, 1 very good officer has already been put on the chopping block by these bozo's, another was on the way and they knew full well that anyone would be too afraid of their job to not vote for the Chief to be acting treasurer. What is he even meddling with a police association for? If he wants to get involved with something he should have gotten involved with the one for police chiefs. When you intimidate everyone into signing the blasted thing do you really think that what you do is legitimate? It's supposed to be a secret ballot for a reason - so people can vote their mind and not be bullied. Get rid of these people before you lose anymore than you have. Your police department is in denial about what’s going on. They are corrupt through and through and the talk of the county because of it. This is everyones problem, a community problem. Pressuring for their removal will be doing something positive for the community.
A couple of people have mentioned they were wondering since Dan Reppucci and Warren Breau are no longer with the Police Dept does that have any effect on the AG’s investigation? The answer is NO. These acts were committed while both were still employees and this is the equivalent of finding out about crime being committed after the fact. At the time these letters were written and the bank was contacted both were very much employed at the WPD and both were very much OFFICERS of the Association. When Chris Roberts wrote that misleading letter to the BOS on July 7, 2009 Dan Reppucci was an officer of the WPD and was not on administration leave. In fact he was in good standing.
Hey Chief Phillips...here is some advice you have "dished out" to Gene Park, and in the past to Dan Reppucci and Warren Breau but for some reason you chose to not practice and somehow cannot follow. Shut your mouth; watch what you say, and who you say it to. Do you really think and believe Brian Jordan is the sole person who is writing all these blogs? If you believe this, you are a not as smart as you try to lead people to believe. Stand up and admit your department's top three officers are the embarrassing talk of the county. You were able to fool the citizens of Jaffrey until a few smart people caught onto your game. And to save face you abruptly quit as Chief of Police, not as a Detective, not as a Sergeant, not as a Lieutenant and certainly not for greener pastures, but as a Chief of Police and without notice to boot. If you have nothing to hide, disclose any and all information as to why you really left Jaffrey. Oh, and by the way, when you asked the three Chiefs from Dublin, Peterborough and Fitzwilliam to sit on the Lieutenant Oral Board for Reppucci & Roberts, did you tell them about Roberts insulting remark to a local business manager and that he was the subject of an internal investigation? You can rest assured if they were privy to this information they would not have been part of your dog & pony show. Chief Phillips, a question posed to you... is it true you are using Hunter North Associates to follow Brian Jordan and others in an attempt to gain information? Think long and hard about this question before you quickly tell people is it nothing but (to quote what you said) "he said, she said" and a few disgruntled employees". Make no mistake about it Chief Phillips, people have seen Hunter North vehicles following Brian Jordan others around town. Chief Phillips, if it is information you want. Keep reading these blogs you may learn something.
As a duly elected Secretary of the Winchester Police Association Maryan Platz's signature attesting to the special meeting held on the 29th of July 2009,clearly shows she purposely,knowingly and intentionaly attested to a fradulent document. The special special meeting held on the 29th day of July 2009, was not sanctioned by the President of the WPA Warren Breau and is in clear violation of the WPA By-Laws. Can you say " slipperyn slope". What Maryan Platz shoud have done was to respectfully decline attesting to such a document and kept out of the middle of this mess. Instead she is in the thick of it. It will be interesting to see how questions from the Charitable Trust Unit will be answered.
According to the Gary Phillips WPD policies that he always brags about creating, Chris Roberts wasn't even eligible to compete for the Lieutenant’s position because he was on still probation from the promotion that made him Sgt in Sept 2008. It clearly states in the WPD manual that there is a 1year probation every time someone is promoted.
That makes sense, why would you just willy nilly promote people that haven’t yet proved themselves to be able to take on the responsibility in a position they were recently promoted to before promoting them to another? And Phillips promoted someone with a background of such questionable deeds?
Let’s see
Roberts – demoted in Hinsdale
Roberts – fired from Hinsdale – Roberts did you disclose that?
Roberts – Hired in Winchester making more $$$$ than the position he was hired for pays
Roberts – Promoted 6 months later
Roberts – Promoted 9 months later – against the WPD policy and under investigation at that????
Something doesn’t look right Mr. Phillips – come clean and tell us your story so we may decide for ourselves.
If Dan Reppucci and Warren Breau were no longer part of the Winchester Police Association how come no one ever told them?
With Maryann getting an email and the selectmen getting an email and the town administrator getting an email and Gary Phillips getting an email, nobody had enough common sense to tell them they were voted off the board?
Doesn't make too much sense does it folks?
No matter how they want to sugar coat it, it still comes out with the same sour taste.
Abuse of power, intimidation, bullying and presenting fraudulent paperwork to the bank, maybe some banking fraud? To name just a few.
This is how they show the Officers of the WPD to act? Or are they just finding out for themselves what their superiors have been up to?
Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts, who so proudly signs his name to these bogus letters, knowingly present the bank with fraudulent paperwork that shows they think they are above the law and above everyone else.
They go into the bank and knowingly lie to the bank that they had the authority to take over a bank account not belonging to them.
Their greed for power and control is so obvious it's pathetic just as they are.
There is no substance to them.
They are all about deceit, deception and cover-ups.
If they were any good at what they do and if this blog was full of lies they would have held a press conference.
But they can't do that because now too many people know what they are about and what they are up to and would ask questions that they can't answer.
And Gary Phillips is recommending Chris Roberts for Chief? To put it mildly - Is he nuts?
Hey Winchester townspeople - Do you want Roberts as your new Chief when Phillips is gone?
This town will be better off when this is over and Gary Phillips, Chris Roberts and Nate Jette are out of police work once and for all and for good, none of them deserve to call themselves Officers of the Law.
This has made Winchester a laughing stock and has put our town in jeopardy because no one wants to associate with us, nor come to our aid.
We can salvage that image if we all stand up to this corruption and fight it out our police dept.
After reading several of the blogs, it would be safe to conclude the following about Officer Nate Jette’s integrity. Do other readers feel the same way?
Nate Jette went through a polygraph process with new Ipswich PD. It is my understanding that police departments give a pre polygraph questionnaire to the applicant to fill out 1 – 2 weeks before administering a polygraph examination. The purpose of this pre polygraph questionnaire is to give the examiner the opportunity to review the applicant’s responses before actually administering the polygraph examination.
One of the questions asked is have you ever taken anything that didn’t belong to you? In Officer Jette’s case he came back a week later for the polygraph and he was asked if there was anything he wanted them to be aware of. At that time Officer Jette said he needed to add a couple of things, he admitted he took copy paper from the PD, washer fluid from the PD and a bike from the impound which he justified by saying he had permission from his sergeant, Sgt Rivera to take the bike.
Why would Nate Jette even tell the examiner he took the bike?
What Nate Jette did here was:
1.) He took the bike without anybody’s permission; he did not get permission from Sgt Rivera.
2.) He said he had permission from his supervisor who was no longer employed at the WPD when Jette was going through the process with NIPD. How convenient.
The only logical conclusion to deduce from these blogs is Nate Jette had a guilty conscience about taking the bike and other items.
The key point is he tried to justify this by saying he had permission.
Luckily, NIPD had the integrity and the intelligence to see through Nate Jette’s deception and eliminated Jette from their hiring process due to Jette’s lack of integrity.
What we have here is what appears to be a pattern of lying. Nate Jette is not forthcoming until he gets caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar.
I use the following two as examples, 1.) the bike which we have discussed and the 2.) the marijuana and pipe Jette took from a juvenile, which he ultimately mishandled evidence by destroying it, violating department policy, and not making his supervisor aware of what he did.
That is clearly destroying evidence.
The only way the department was aware of what Jette did was because the mother of the juvenile called and complained and was upset because her son was stopped by the police for a drug violation and released without her ever being notified. She found this out from her son when he came home and told her.
Judging by the additional blogs you have an integrity issue and credibility issue. Furthermore, it has been said, that by virtue of their training, education, experience and title Police Officers are considered professional witnesses. How can this be true with Officer Jette in light of what has been said and by his own admission?
How can we expect the children of the community to believe or look up to Officer Jette who has serious credibility and integrity issues?
Has the County Attorney Peter Heed been made aware of these situations and is his office reviewing Nate Jette’s cases, past, present and forthcoming.
Another observation, how is it that Nate Jette was hired by the Richmond Police Dept. with all these issues in his file, did the Richmond Police Dept do a background investigation and if so were they made aware of Nate Jette’s issues and if they were why did they hire Nate Jette with these issues.
No thank you for Roberts as Chief. I have kids and a family I need to worry about. With someone like that in charge I'd have to seriously consider moving. He's a threat to our community and a liability on top of that. I've heard too much about him. Rumors or not, you know there is truth there, you don't hear other officers being talked about like that. Why? Because they arent' like him.
To Thought you Know:
I see your point. If this guy had been being honest from the beginning he would have told the examiner he took the bike or he never would have mentioned the bike when he went back for the polygraph.
He would have had a clear conscience and he never would have been thinking about it.
Understanding the question asked was did you ever take anything that didn’t belong to you, NOT did anyone ever give you anything that didn’t belong to them.
Instead, he fills out a questionnaire, omits this, and admits nothing to the examiner.
When he gets called back he tells the examiner he “forgot” to mention it but that his supervisor gave him permission, along with the other things.
So until he thought he might have a shot at a job he chose to lie about the facts, rather than admit them from the get go.
He lied 2 times. He lied when he never put this information on the questionnaire and he lied again when he said he had his supervisor’s permission.
He also admits, without coming out and saying it, he knows what he did was wrong because he would not have brought it up if he new it was OK.
Maryan is no innocent bystander is she?
If she covered for the Chief and his Lieutenant, knowing the events didn't quite match up to the truth then she will be caught in a lie and another Winchester police dept employees integrity will be in question.
True enough, she is right smack in the middle of it and just as guilty of wrongdoing, if in fact she fudged the truth.
Maryan is just as guilty and corrupt as the rest of the WPD.
She signed and attested to the truthfulness of a document that was full of lies and she knew it.
Throw her out with the rest of the garbage.
If I remember correctly didn't she started her affair with Mr. Platz while he was still living and married to his first wife. I don't think people of such low moral character are very trust worthy.
State probe clears Winchester police by Sarah Palermo
Interestingly there is an article about the police department in today’s Keene Sentinel. The headline reads “State probe clears Winchester police”. Like many articles that come out of the Sentinel this too is biased and inaccurate.
I don’t see anywhere that it states the Attorney General’s office “cleared” anybody of any wrongdoing except in the determination made by Sentinel reporter Sarah Palermo. In fact all Attorney Generals office states is that the claims don’t warrant a criminal investigation and that the things they investigated, which they do not tell us what they are or who they spoke to, don’t rise to the level of criminal charges. They don’t say a thing about them not being criminal – perhaps they don’t have enough evidence and they don’t say anything about things not being wrong.
So the Sentinel basically wrote a story based on either there version of things or perhaps they got the scoop from the WPD personnel who are doing everything in their power to deflect the truth. The AG’s office and the Sentinel don’t live with these people nor have they worked with them, so unless they want to do a real investigation they should keep their opinions to themselves, else they will look just as foolish as the cops in the Winchester police Dept. The following is from the Keene Sentinel article. Did the Sentinel report this news accurately?
Late last month, officials determined the claims do not warrant a criminal investigation, according to Assistant Attorney General James T. Boffetti, who works in the criminal bureau.
The office investigated complaints from at least two people, but none will lead to criminal charges, he said.
Investigators interviewed “many individuals involved directly or indirectly with the issues,” Boffetti said.
“Our task is to look to see if there is anything that rises to the level of criminal charges ... I don’t anticipate (the criminal bureau) taking any further action,” he said.
As far as which accusations his office investigated, and who was interviewed, Boffetti would not say.
The Chief loses a letter and then blames the guy who wrote it for taking it?
Give me a break, if he lost it he should own up to it.
Why didn't the Chief just let the person in charge go over the reports? Oh I see, it's because he's the one that supposedly took a letter that the Chief left laying around?
Is that what they do with evidence? They say that gets left laying aound too.
If the Chief was on the up & up he would have let the treaurer go over the reports.
He must have been hiding something.
Come on ....
you're talking Winchester here, I don't think they know their left from their right and their up from down, but they do know how to bend the rules and they do know how to break the laws and now here's the proof.
See Blog - Did Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts Misuse their Power to gain control of the bank account belonging to the WPA ???
This looks like a lot of Contradictions and Inconsistency and Fraud.
7/28 – Bank account for WPA at TD Bank is closed out by Gary Phillips and Chris Roberts.
7/29 – Dan Reppucci discovers bank account for association is closed and contacts bank., Bank reinstates account.
7/29 – Bank accounts gets changed again in the afternoon while Reppucci is at AG’s office.
7/29 – Letter to Bank – due to recent changes no longer have a member to sign checks? Not according to bylaws.
7/29 – Memo to Members of Association –
1.)An update of the Charter was requested by the AG”S office?
2.)Neither member is active?
3.)Members were called?
4.)So who checked off the answers and who signed the names?
5.)Did everyone just happen to be there at the same time or was some of this done after the fact?
7/30 – Letter to Bank – now Phillips, Roberts and a Maryan Platz state they had a SPECIAL MEETING on July 29th?
1.)When and where was that held?
2.)Everyone was immediately available, all at the same time for this last minute special meeting?
3.)But there was a memo everyone signed?
4.)Why would they need a memo if there was a special meeting?
5.)Wouldn’t they have had a secret vote like the bylaws state if they had a special meeting?
Phillips and Roberts knowingly and with intent presented the bank with fraudulent paperwork, 2 times. They thought they covered all their tracks and wouldn’t get caught.
Platz got involved when she certified in a letter to the bank a special meeting took place and the actions at that meeting were adopted by the association.
BANK FRAUD – what do you suppose would happen if you or I did that? Do you think that we would be arrested and prosecuted? The bank is obligated to protect bank accounts from thieves and unscrupulous people and we are obligated to present accurate and truthful information when accessing and opening bank accounts.
What happened here undermines the integrity of the banking industry and the laws that govern that industry.
Phillips and Roberts knowingly and with intent lied to the bank, the members of the association and likely anyone and everyone who has asked about it, including the AG’s office.
Bank Fraud by any other name is still Bank Fraud.
Fatty Roberts, you should have never made it out of Hinsdale , you piece of shit
