This Redding Police Officer Threatened me and demanded I come to him and fight him in his uniform in back of Redding City Hall with Redding Police Officer Sam Llamas standing right next to him. An investigation was done since at the time I did not know his name. Unfortunately I got second officers name wrong on report complaint to Redding Police Department... He was standing with Sam Llamas, not Ed Ochoa.
Sam Llamas
" I passed by officer Ed Ochoa and unknown officer with stripes on his sleeve and followed me to back door of city hall repeatedly challenging me to fight, to come back, and made comments that I was a coward to not come back and fight him over and over while he followed me. It had me to believe with this officer my life is in physical danger.
I wish documentation of the incident as well as unknown officers name"
Well an investigation (cover up) supposedly happened... What turned out to be by his good buddy from "Professional Standards Unit" of course competing in a beard growing contest...

I was so tramatized by an unknown officer harboring such violent intentions towards me I even called and reported incident to FBI
Well I got that letter from Redding Police Chief Bill Schueller a year later poo pooing my allegations against who the chief identified as Redding Police officer Will Williams just after his arrest for major drug crimes
I have written response with his name on it from RPD Chief Schueller.
Yet, sadly , looks like a big cover up of officer Williams activities ...
"It was in April of 2020 that an investigation uncovered 138 pounds of processed marijuana, 332 marijuana plants, 30 grams of cocaine, $59,000 and 2 firearms at a warehouse off of Old Highway 44 and Old Oregon Trail, according to the CHP."
Redding Police Violate Harass Homeless Advocate Taking Their Picture
Redding California police officer follows me almost all the way home after talking to 4 officers and two cars jacking up one homeless man sleeping on Pine St sidewalk in front of downtown restaurant. After chatting briefly at intersection first officer in pic is already walking to his car to follow me. Two blocks from my home he lights me up and best he can come up with is no back license plate light.
Intimidation, retaliation and fear... A pattern of repeated harassment, where are your bodycams?
Did Redding Police union threaten then chief Paoletti with a vote of no confidence some time back if he insisted on officers wearing bodycams? And have him removed like the chief of the Red Bluff police department was removed by their union at that time also?
All this told to me by a past member of the Redding city council...
What did the union tell you Redding Police Chief Bill Schueller?
"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Looks like this officer did not want to talk about Redding police officer Will Williams, I can see why. Is this a cover up? Dont talk about it, maybe it will just all go away?
Thanks for letting us know, but it is the cost of doing business in America. We have all had law enforcement harassment when we challenge authority in our society. I was ticketed for opening my car door into traffic when I stopped at a parking meter. https://t.co/izOAPblEFt
Imagine if you will, you are heading up a facebook site seeking justice for one of the most heinous crimes ever to be covered up in Shasta County. Oh im not talking about the lynching of the Ruggles brothers or the multitude of other unsolved lynching's over the years here.
I speak of the beating, torture and mutilation of a black man covered up some 23 years ago.
"The mutilated body of 31 year-old Leo Coleman, Jr. of Redding, California was found hanging from a tree in the nearby town of Anderson by two teenage boys November 24, 1997.
"Police reports document that Officer Ochoa received three separate ' reports from three different people on November 24, that Leo Coleman, Jr. was the victim of hanging by adherents of so-called "white pride" elements in the local community. On the day after Leo, Jr.'s death was reported, someone made a drawing of a hanging man and put it on Bobbi Culver, Leo, Jr.''s girlfriend's, front door."
After reading the only news publication with the courage to cover this gruesome tragic cover up story one MUST READ the tragic tale as you can see after reading and you have a heart and soul, you also will want to help in any way possible.
*WARNING GRAPHIC* You can find the complete story of the hanging of Leo Coleman and 3 letters to the editor here
Now with the Grace of God attention has been drawn by local news media outlets that folks indeed are seeking justice for Leo Coleman Jr, as the Record Searchlight reported.
Our group Justice for Leo Coleman Jr and the Coleman family facebook group WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR LEO COLEMAN JReven had a flower memorial for Leo Jr in front of Anderson Police Department and this is what the Chief of Anderson California police department had to say following the protest.
“The men and women of APD care about this community and are committed to uncovering the truth, seeking justice, and serving without bias, prejudice, or regard. We will continue to investigate this matter and vet out all information, leads, and suspects before rendering a final disposition.”
"And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."
Now Approximately a month and a half ago a young lady at Sundial Collective approached me and began talking about the Leo Coleman Jr case unsolicited.
She stated her ******* To Sensitive At This Time *******
A month and a half later, I asked the young girl at Sundial collective if anybody from Anderson Police Department called her, and she stated no... I also then enquired about her name as the Record Searchlight reporter asked me repeatedly through emails what her, and her brothers name was.
Well I left this message on comment section of Sundial Collective.
******* To Sensitive At This Time ******* "One of your employees has repeatedly told me her brother was one of the juveniles that originally found the body of black man Leo Coleman Jr. hanging 23 years ago. She stated her brother said there were symbols carved in the body, which would be quite strange since the police were quick to call it a suicide. As you can imagine I wish this information to go to the proper authorities as I am the administrator of the Justice For Leo Coleman Jr Facebook page. In fact here is a cut and paste of email of Record Searchlight reporter I received just this morning... As you can see this is no game...... Family members have been suffering for years.......
If your budtender is playing game with me, I need to know now"

Subject: RE: Leo Coleman Jr Murder Information
Hi Mr. Solberg,
What is her brother’s name?
I interviewed a man a few weeks ago who said he was one of two who found Leo Coleman Jr. in 1997.
I have been unable to verify his story. I would need to verify the story of anyone who told me they found Leo Coleman Jr.
The Anderson Police will not release police reports to me and Leo Coleman’s father says the names of the two boys who found him were covered up in the copy of the police report he has. So at this point I am unable to verify the statements from anyone.
It would be helpful if the people who claim to have found Mr. Coleman could provide verification of their stories.
Thank you,"

Well I was security at Sundial Collective when a manager, owner? came out unidentified as her name or position started saying I was going in to approach this girl and quiz her again, which is not true, and I explained what she told me and that my one and only goal was for her to speak to Damon Arthur, reporter at Record Searchlight , and I only wanted to know if she would yes or no and drop it for good there. This "manager" after explaining my story, stated "I cant blame you" and gave me her word she would find out. In the mean time, I received another email from Damon Arthur , reporter asking AGAIN what is her name...
My response,
Good Morning...
"You certainly have my permission to phone manager Ashley at Sundial collective to explain the situation as I left a message with her wanting a face to face but have yet to hear back. I did tell the other manager at Sundial collective that the business did not even need to be mentioned in any possible news story as my one and only goal was to have her brother talk to reporter Mr Arthur... Perhaps I spoke out of turn, but I see how crucial contact of this girl's brother is, and if he is willing to talk. That was days ago.
Thank you for your continued interest in this stunning cover up of a tragic murder
Chris Solberg
For my efforts to seek justice, my supervisor has stated Sundial Collective has removed me from my job and position as security , and my supervisor has relayed that their is a restraining order against me for my efforts to see that this valuable information has been passed on to the proper authorities.
It is my personal opinion that Sundial collective management is playing games with the lives and hearts of the Leo Coleman Jr family.
Has not 23 years been long enough?
I think and believe management wants nothing to affect the sales and distribution of cannabis products sales, profit over people, and their plants are far more important that the Leo Coleman Jr family.
If you tell the creator of Justice For Leo Coleman Jr group Sundial Collective management the things you did about this ghastly murder, what do you or would you expect a reasonable and prudent individual to do with the information?
