The Gulf Coast Chapter of ABATE of Florida President Gary “Satch” VerCrouse submitted a formal complaint to the board of directors of ABATE of Florida.

In this report it is alleged that he was contacted on the morning of March 5th 2010 by both his chapter
Sgt of Arms and the State president (James “DOC” Reichenbach) regarding an incident involving the state president and a gulf coast chapter member at the security gate the evening before.

It is stated in the grievance that The ABATE of Florida/President reports he had interaction with a Gulf Coast Chapter member working the gate resulting in the chapter member throwing his membership card and security pin at “Doc”. This resulted in Doc's words as “Doc having to snatch him up.”

It is reported that Doc made the statement that “nobody is going to talk to him that way.”

Gulf Coast Chapter contends that the statement that the member through his security pin at “Doc” is false.

The Gulf coast chapter does state that an “unlamited” membership card was thrown at “DOC”.

The Gulf Coast Chapter President then spoke with the chapters MSAP director and the members wife who had both witnessed the events.

The Gulf Coast Chapter president also reports having phone conversations with others who had witnessed either all or part of the events in question. The Gulf Coast Prsident writes:

“he final acts of aggresion and battery by the state president”

The Gulf Coast President also state he had a phone conversation with the State Sgt of Arms who states
he was present at least for the final incident.

The state Sgt of Arms states he saw a membership card and “what appeared to be “Pin thrown in the direction of the state president. He further states that he stepped in to break up the “physical attack”
on the member by the state President.

The member in question had retreated to his vehicle and was leaving the scene when the State President reached through an open window and grabbed the member. The State Sgt of Arms forced the The State President back and the member left in his truck.

The Gulf President writes that “miscommunication” resulted in excessive disrespect to be shown to the members of the Gulf Coast Chapter by other members and the State President.

The Gulf Coast Chapter president arrives at the conclusion that there may in fact have been two incidents of battery against his member when the member was only trying to leave the situation.

The Gulf Coast Chapter president also states the State President used the term “I'll kick you ass.

The Gulf Coast Chapter is calling for the State President to resign and if does not do so then the Board of Directors convene and remove him from office as per the by laws of ABATE of Florida (aricle Xl paragraph J revised december 13, 2008).Add to Technorati Favorites
