Public commenter alleges a physical confrontation and raises chemical-poisoning concerns

During the public-comment portion of the meeting, an unidentified resident recounted an incident in which a man they identified as Angel Leals approached and tried to grab an item from them at a window. The commenter said they perceived the interaction as a physical assault and described feeling frightened and unable to stand.

The commenter said they told the clerk at the window what they needed and that a man (identified in the comment as Angel Leals) responded, “you get it through me … Anything you want, you get through me.” The commenter said the man repeatedly asked, “What do you want?” and that they felt “ready to pass out.” The commenter said they told staff they would call non-emergency or 911 to make a complaint; according to the transcript the speaker said, “Then I'll call 911 and make my claim.”

The speaker also raised a separate allegation that officers knowingly disregarded standard investigation procedures and neglected to investigate what the commenter described as chemical poisoning. The commenter requested information from the city and said they would pursue the matter through official channels. No city action, referral or staff response is recorded in the transcript regarding this comment.

Because the statement was made during public comment, the transcript records it as a citizen complaint rather than a staff report or council action. The speaker did not provide documentation or identify a specific city officer taking formal steps in response during the meeting; no council motion or direction on this subject appears in the record.
