Resident alleges harassment, surveillance and theft by a manager and partner with police ties
Summary
Paul Pratt told the council he has been harassed and surveilled—alleging cameras installed in his apartment, theft of personal items, and involvement by a restaurant manager and a part-time police officer; he said local police have not provided relief and that the situation affects his ability to work and study.
Paul Pratt (S1) used his public-comment time to allege sustained harassment and surveillance by a former employer's manager and the manager's spouse, whom he said is a part-time police officer. Pratt said items have gone missing from his apartment, cameras were placed inside his unit, and he has felt unable to leave for a planned three-month schooling opportunity because of fear of further break-ins. He told the council, "They put cameras in there. Why does she do this?" and described the experience as "psychologically destroying."
Pratt said he had spoken with the district attorney and local police but felt they had not helped. The mayor limited his time and thanked him for speaking; no council action or formal staff response to Pratt's allegations is recorded in the meeting transcript.
