Looks like we've got a new smokey on our tail: it's Matthew Schlueter, subject of much controversy for apparently blowing the lid off Colman's speeding ticket trickery. Beginning January 7, Schlueter will become a Lake County deputy, filling the vacancy left by Emily Bruns, who resigned in November after being charged with her second DUI.
Good to know Lake County will give an honest cop a break after he's gotten what sounds like unfair treatment elsewhere. And good to know we have one more cop on our beat who will uphold the law, even if the powers that be ask him to do otherwise. Welcome to the force, Officer Schlueter.

So a friend of mine made this rap a few years back, and I have to tell you
I have friends over the years who went there and tell the same boring
stories, LOL.

I agree Corey, it is nice to see that people can give other people a chance and look beyound the rumors that go around about somebody. By the way Corey did you know that Colman might be back to the same practice as before?? Yes I mean it, Chucky is back, and there to stay. Colman ticket is back in full force!! Everybody watch out.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, Moody county is getting a new judge at the first of the year I hear from the clerk of courts office. If you get a ticket there, go to court and plead not guilty so it will get dismissed.
Take care Corey and keep the good news coming.
Oops sorry about the misspelling it should be beyond.
ReplyDeleteLet's put him out on highway 34 by the Classic Corner and crank out some tickets at 30 miles per hour speed limit. Madison could use the income.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Madison Police have enough officers that they could do this themselves??
ReplyDeleteYeah, most of them are at Classic Convenience, along with deputy sheriff and highway patrol each night at about 10pm. They could simply set up their radar unit there while on break.
ReplyDeleteGood for Matt. However, I believe the ticket issue is not as clearly defined as Schleuter, his attorney and the AG originally portrayed. Since this issue came up, I believe Colman has been writing only state tickets on 34 as requested by the AG, even though it may not be required to do so. It seems some monies were not properly collected and forwarded on to the state, but it's not as bad as first portrayed by a disgruntled employee's attorney, and I don't believe that was the reason Matt S. was released. But what else is he going to say. I know this story seemed kind of "sexy", but I wish you would quit trying to demonize Colman about tickets. When Sioux Falls pays back the millions in city stop light tickets issued at 10th and Minnesota (SD 115) then start your inquisition on every little town on a highway.
ReplyDeleteThe gentleman who is taking the City of SF all the way to the Supreme Court in SD will likely win his class action case regarding those right turn on red camera tickets. The City is trying to say that those who paid their fines admitted guilt, so those folks should not be included in the class action, but since SF is a City Charter and the tickets are Civil, not Criminal, they are treated differently. Former City Attorney Eide admitted on tape that SF does not have an ordinance disallowing right turn on red, which is required under State Codified Law before any enforcement. Otherwise, right turn on red is allowed throughout SD. Since that is a State Highway, simply putting signs up doesn't cut it. The law says BOTH signage and City Ordinance must be in place before enforcement is possible. No ordinance, no fines. The City of SF will lose and lots of people will share in the $1.4 Million return of fines.
