Waiting For The Other Spanky Shoe To Drop...What Is Spanky Pete Spankily Plotting?

Blog post by John Hoff

After Peter "Spanky Pete" Rickmyer had his quasi-lawsuit document laughed out of court, and was declared a frivolous litigant, and heaven only knows what will happen with the cost of all those RULE 9 SANCTIONS, ouch ouch ouch, well...

It seemed like Spanky Pete took a little spanky break and we didn't hear much from him. Word was he was seen spankily sweeping around the entrance of the dirty and thug-o-centric gas station at 26th Ave. N. and Penn Ave. N., click here. As one Johnny Northside commenter put it so well and memorably, some of those thugs need a spanking, so it's a good thing Spanky Pete is there.

But now I can personally confirm that Peter Rickmyer...

...who never even saw me getting the picture above, has been working feverishly on some kind of spank-o-centric project on the 24th Floor of the County Government building, at one of the public computers in the law library.

Naturally, I told Pete's probation officer but can he reply to my emails? Apparently not. I'm guessing there is some kind of gag order. Yeah, I'm sure Spanky Pete would love that.

A gag order, I mean. Some kind of gag. That's ordered. (Talking in my Spanky Pete voice, folks in the neighborhood circles know the imitation all-too-well) He can't talk because there's a GAG.

I say Department of Corrections has been so busy dropping the ball with Level Three sex offenders they can't even drop a line. I don't blame the folks at the bottom--except Bobbie Chevalier-Jones, of course--but rather I blame their (spanky) upper level management.

If I had to guess, I'd say Spanky Pete is appealing the dismissal of his (spanky) case to a higher court. If that's the case, get ready for more lawyers to get paid more money. Good thing Johnny Northside can overwhelmingly win a case without even going to court or getting served. But why isn't somebody making Spanky Pete stay within the conditions of his (spanky) probation which, I'm guessing, involves WORKING or LOOKING FOR A JOB instead of hanging out at the law library?

Oh, by the way, some anonymous commenter threatened to post personal information about me all over the internet if I kept writing about Spanky Pete. So readers know what THAT means. I will make a spanky point of writing about Spanky Pete. This blog didn't get to be the Number One blog in the Twin Cities by hiding under our binkie blanky boo, afraid to get a virtual spanking.

The trolls and haters and (spanky) pedophile allies can and will do their worst, so I may as well have some fun.

Storm Clouds Still Gathering Over Level Three Sex Offender Concentration Issues In North Minneapolis Like Michael Robert Logeais Of 3415 Logan Ave N.

Photo above by John Hoff, DOC mug shots in public domainBlog post by John Hoff













I realize there was a flurry of writing on this blog about Level Three Sex Offender concentration in North Minneapolis, including my vow to hunt down and publish the actual addresses of these dangerous pervs who have been dumped on our vulnerable neighborhood despite a statute which supposedly prohibits precisely that kind of concentration, click here for more info. But after that initial flurry of blogging, the issue was not front and center on Johnny Northside the way I intended it to be.

The reason for this is simple, and it has nothing to do with some county attorney writing to me and saying Bobbie Chevalier-Jones is an "exemplary" zookeeper for sick, (figuratively) drooling perverts like Peter "Pete The Pedophile" Rickmyer, who still hasn't served me with his frivolous legal paper as of today. Click here for a PDF copy of the lawyer letter in question. I'll be replying to the letter soon enough, but I think I'll be saving a stamp, if you know what I mean. (And I think Johnny Northside readers know EXACTLY what I mean)

No, the reason that I took my time replying was simple: I was...

...out of town. In fact, I went to three states I'd never been before: Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. The ground in Georgia is red, like in that song "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo."

I remember to this day/
The bright red Georgia clay/
And how it stuck to the tires/
After the summer rain

In the photo above, storm clouds greet me in Illinois. I soon had hail bouncing off my hood. Maybe the time will come when I write up more of those fun and personal "gone trucking" posts, but I feel blogging about neighborhood doings is much more important.

I don't like to publicly mention when I'm out of town because, well, I find it more tactically advisable to let Peter Rickmyer wonder where I am and run himself around in ragged circles, trying to serve me. The more time he spends trying to serve me, the less time he can spend suing nice church ladies for telling him to leave a program where children are present.

But when I'm out of town, nobody else associated with this blog is going to advance the "sex offenders concentrated in North Minneapolis" issue. Jeff Skrenes--the Hawthorne Hawkman--doesn't want to touch this yucky issue no more than most people want to touch Peter Rickmyer's right hand. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

So the issue was on the back burner of this blog for a while. But not today.

Recently, a regular reader of Johnny Northside Dot Com sent me an email about a halfway house at 3415 Logan Ave. N. and a Level Three sex offender reportedly living there named MICHAEL ROBERT LOGEAIS.

The story of the halfway house--dumped in the neighborhood without any notice to neighbors--and the presence of Michael Logeais, which apparently gave the whole thing away when "Level Three" notices went out--is told in a series of emails between a good, solid North Minneapolis citizen and Sara Goodnough, an assistant to Council Member Barb Johnson.

The first email was apparently sent through a city website on April 12, and went like this:

I contacted you about 6 mos. ago with concerns about 3415 Logan Ave. N. beinging used to house parolees. I just wanted to inform you that it is still being used for this propose. Right now 2 men live at this location 1 of whom is a Level 3 sex offender. Also the owner is in the process of installing a basement egress window. Which signals to myself and my neighbors that they plan to move more people into the house.

While I agree that everyone deserves a second chance I wonder about the wisdom of moving felons partically sex offenders into a neighborhood that already has many crime problems.

Thank you,
-------------------
The solid citizen received a response that very day, as follows:

I have a follow up email into Inspections. There is a permit out for the egress window. I looked up the level 3 offenders in the 55412 zip code, but didn't find anyone listed residing on your block. Do you have further info?

I will get back to you when I hear back from Housing. I suspect it is not a violation for two unrelated adults to be living in a single family home. I believe up to 3 unrelated adults can live in a house.

Good to know. Here's the next email.

Sara,

Last year Zoning made this determination about the use of the property.

The owner has a co-tenant agreement with Hennepin County. This property is involved in an Intensive Supervisory Release program. There will be no more than three (3) persons will residing in the home. No administrator will live or visit the site. However, periodically a parole agent will visit where searches and drug/alcohol test may be conducted. For more info call Noni Karfroski at 612-919-5444. Since there is no administrator on site, Zoning has determined that there is no violation and the property complies with the rules of occupancy per Section 546.50. As a result, this file will be closed.

Steve may be able to comment more on this.

Thanks,

Question from the Johnny Northside peanut gallery: when was the neighborhood association notified of this, and when did the neighborhood association have its input or sign off on this lame scheme? And would this happen anywhere but North Minneapolis? I don't think so.

We are, however, no longer as politically powerless as we used to be. The power of grassroots media is giving us a strong voice which can't be silenced or ignored about--for example--concentrations of child molesters being dumped in what is, demographically, the youngest neighborhood in Minneapolis.

The final (relevant) email in the string summarizes what's been happening at the property, and makes mention of the specific Level Three sex offender...allowing me to reveal his address, as I vowed.

--------------------
3415 was a forclosure that was bought last year and then turned into a halfway house for parolees. Including as of right now 1 Level 3 sex offender MICHAEL ROBERT LOGEAIS. With the exception of the sex offender the neighbors were give no notice of this we only realized it when the US Marshalls removed someone by force from the house. Since that time the US Marshalls have been there 2 other times to remove people. Also at one point a female felon had started using the house for prostitution. As I told Ms. Goodnough I believe most people deserve a second chance but I really question the wisdom of moving more criminals into an area that has had its share of problems.
---------------------

Two things to add in closing: the possessive form of "it" is "its" not "it's."

This is to distinguish the possessive its from the contraction for "it is."

Just saying.

Secondly, on March 15 I sent the following email to Jonathan Ragner, who is the supervisor for Michael Robert Logeais.
-----------------
Dear Jonathan Ragner,

The mug shots you are using on the DOC Level Three sex offender website for Michael Robert Logeais are slightly blurry.

I am surprised DOC would use such low quality photos on the website. I am looking forward to hearing back about getting a better photo on the website. This is my neighborhood, and we certainly need to be able to know what these Level Three sex offenders look like.
-----------------

Do you imagine I received any reply at all from the Department of Corrections? If you imagine I did, then you have a very overactive imagination.

Oh, wait, I guess I should add a minor third point.

Here's the owner of the house in question.

Why am I not surprised this guy doesn't live in North Minneapolis, but makes a buck off the bruised and bloody back of our much-put upon neighborhood?

Level Three Sex Offender Rickey Harris Lives At 2226 Glenwood Ave. N. With Two Other Serious Sex Offenders...

Blog post by John Hoff

Three Level Three sex offenders. In one house. How can this NOT be "concentration" of sex offenders? How can this NOT be a violation of the statute which is supposed to limit such concentration? Why has the Department of Corrections completely dropped the ball and left my neighborhood holding the bag?

I would ask them, but folks like Bobbie Chevalier-Jones and Russ Stricker just don't answer my emails. They appear too busy making sure of job security by keeping folks like "Spanky Pete" Rickmyer out on the street, while my neighborhood pays the price.

In any case, the house at 2226 Glenwood Ave. N. was something of a... 

Who Was Watching "Pete The Pedophile" As He Filed Frivolous Litigation? It Was Bobbie Chevalier-Jones...

Blog post by John Hoff, see addendum below for source of photo

So a couple days ago I emailed Bobbie Chevalier-Jones, the Intensive Supervised Release agent whose caseload of sex offenders includes Peter Rickmyer, a.k.a. "Pete The Pedophile" or, as I like to call him, "Spanky Pete." I asked Chevalier-Jones to prevent Pete from viewing my blog during his precious two hours of supervised weekly internet time, since my family-friendly blog has pictures of minors including my own son.

I might have added my blog does have exactly ONE slightly racy picture (part of a news story about a character involved in mortgage fraud) which I suspect would be a violation of Pete's probation, click here.

Pete is the subject of a cover story in the new issue of City Pages, just hitting the streets now. Here is the story online, click here, and also click here to enjoy the really great cover art. So, you might be wondering, what did Chevalier-Jones say in response to my email?

Nothing. And nothing from her supervisor.

So let's talk about Chevalier-Jones, the person who was supposed to be minding the story while "Spanky Pete" was pouring hours and hours into writing his 90-plus page psychopath "midnight manifesto"...

First of all, I really have to wonder how a document that long could have been word processed in a mere two hours a week. Is Peter getting many hours of supervised word processing somewhere? So this psychopath (the courts have declared him a psycopath, it's a statement of FACT) can tie up the court system and decent North Minneapolis residents with his gibberish. And whose nose did it happen under? The nose of Bobbie Chevalier-Jones.

In digging into this story, I found that Bobbie Chevalier-Jones (pictured above) won some kind of award for "professional achievement" in the area of being friendly and supportive to Level Three sex offenders. Huh, I didn't know they gave awards for that kind of thing. Click here for a link to a little newsletter write-up about the award, but here's what it says, word for word, feel free to cruelly deconstruct in the comments section and please remember...you can be anonymous.

-------
Bobbie Chevalier-Jones is a top-notch agent who shows compassion and caring and inspires her supervisees to succeed. She daily demonstrates her strength as an ISR Agent for Hennepin County. Her specialty is dealing with offenders who have signifi cant mental disabilities or conduct disorders. Whether the offender has Asperger’s Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Intense or Severe Antisocial Personality Disorder, or even Oppositional Defiant Disorder, these clients are assigned to her due to her expertise in supervision of these high-maintenance clients.

Bobbie does the extra mile by not only speaking to therapists but by meeting with them. She builds rapport with her offenders, as demonstrated by their comments at revocation hearings, stating that they felt badly because they disappointed Bobbie, who really believed they could succeed. That’s a high compliment. She has attained the skills to prove to these offenders that not only can they succeed with their impairments, she believes they will. This is a strong motivator for many of her clients and often the turning point of their supervision.

These are offenders who require high maintenance and an abundance of patience. Some of these offenders are so verbally abusive and antisocial that others will not speak to them. Bobbie doesn’t solve these issues for them. She guides them through the decision making process so they will do it on their own. She sets boundaries for them and explains why their actions are not acceptable. Bobbie takes an active role in finding appropriate counseling, schooling or classes that will help better integrate them into society. She has been observed spending days trying to straighten out someone’s medication issues, attending countless meetings with doctors and therapists because someone is struggling in treatment, or even empathizing and counseling victims terrified of her client’s release.

(JNS interjects: Continue to be terrified if the long leash she has allowed Peter Rickmyer is any indication, and I would tend to think it is)

This ISR agent not only excels with her clients, she shines when she is among her peers.

(JNS asks: Is this true? What I wouldn't give to hear from some of those peers)

She has exceptional communication skills. She believes we all work towards the same goal and should share not only information but ideas and contacts as well. She suffers no shame in admitting her mistakes and is hesitant to accept praise for her accomplishments.

Bobbie is not an agent who designed some system or worked a huge caseload. She is just an agent who has exceptional abilities that allow her to work effectively with offenders who many would be inclined to revoke.

(JNS says: Yeah, read that line again. Other agents think these sick puppies need to have their parole revoked, but Bobbie continues to sympathize and work with them. Our neighborhood pays the price)

Her communication skills, humanity, and caring make her a role model for many. She helps high-risk clients transition into our communities and assist victims with their recovery. Our community gains much from her work and field services are a better functioning system because of her. 

(JNS says: Bobbie, walk in baby steps toward your email and churn out a response about this sicko having access to a blog with pictures of my son)

ADDENDUM: The MCA wrote me an email claiming this photo--which was forwarded to me by email from an anonymous source--appears on their website. As of this writing, they have sent me no link to prove the photo comes from their website, but I would be willing to take their word. The photo is used, anyway, under First Amendment "fair comment and criticism" to discuss a newsworthy matter.

The same goes for the content of their newsletter, which provides newsworthy information about Bobbie Chevalier-Jones, the probation officer who has been letting "Pete The Pedophile" frolic around under her very nose. The things said in this newsletter are NOT TRUE IN MY EXPERIENCE and the content of the newsletter is worthy of comment by myself and others who are contributing their thoughts on this blog--including thoughts which are in DEFENSE of Bobbie Chevalier-Jones, as part of a free and open discussion.

Peter Rickmyer, Level Three Sex Offender, Gets Internet Access On Wednesday Afternoons...

State photo, in public domain, blog post by John Hoff

Is this a case of YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK ON BEHALF OF A PEDOPHILE? Peter Rickmyer, the Level Three sex offender who has recently gained a small measure of fame though filing a gibberish-filled lawsuit against several individuals and entities--including a large, powerful law firm and the commander of the Fourth Precinct--has apparently been getting "Wednesday evening internet" courtesy of an "amicus."

Johnny Northside blog has known about this matter since November 16, 2009, but the information has become more pressing of late with Peter going around filing his worthless pro se paperwork, which sheriff's deputies are forced to serve free of charge. Check out this email exchange with Bobbi Chevalier-Jones, the person currently in charge of supervising Peter...


-------------------------
Dear Bobbie Chevalier- Jones,

I am forwarding a document which was apparently created by Peter Richard Stephenson, Level III Sex Offender. This document was OBVIOUSLY word processed and includes an email which OBVIOUSLY originated on the internet. As you're well aware, Peter is not supposed to have anything to do with computers.

The document was provided to me (and my blog) by a neighborhood leader, who I am "blind cc'ing" on this email. Recently, Peter handed the document over at a neighborhood meeting of the Jordan Area Community Council, describing the document as his "grievance."

This matter has already been written about on my blog, and here is a link to that post.

Would you please look into this matter and deal with Peter's latest episode? Thanks so much for your assistance.

Peter is allowed access to the internet on Wednesday afternoons and is supervised by staff at the Amicus programs. They are making sure he is not going into any inappropriate sites. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me by phone.

I did contact Chevalier-Jones by phone and, as I recall, she had no problem with Pete being able to browse neighborhood blogs to his pedophile heart's content. Word is Chevalier-Jones never followed up on repeated phone calls made by Kip Browne in Jordan. Kip and his wife were the subject of attempts by Peter Rickmyer to make contact with his so-called "grievances."

I've also received information--which I am trying to further develop--saying Pete has filed three different lawsuit or grievance type documents against a program at Jordan New Life Church. The filings were against an individual "church lady" who stood up to Peter Rickmyer. Individuals at the church don't want Pete hanging around a program which caters to youth, but Peter is insatiable in his desire to hang around the church program.

All of this leads to the inevitable conclusion the individuals in charge of supervising dangerous Level Three deviants like Peter Rickmyer aren't doing a good enough job, and North Minneapolis will have to DEFEND ITSELF against the 22-man "sex offender reserve force" stationed in its midst by--for example--keeping better track of their location through publicizing their exact addresses and any other details which can be obtained.

Word is the individuals who supervise the pedophiles are somewhat in a tizzy about this intention I have announced to publish all the addresses, making phone calls and emails.

My question is...what are they hiding? I can hardly wait to find out. In the meantime, I amplify my request to readers at large: do you know the specific address of a Level Three sex offender? Not the BLOCK NUMBER, which I can get off the state website (duh) but information about the SPECIFIC ADDRESS? If so, please email.

Pete The Pedophile's Latest Obsession: Church Parking Lot Dispute...

Last time this blog heard about Peter Richard Stephenson, a.k.a. Peter Rickmyer, a.k.a. Pete The Pedophile, he was being cuffed, stuffed and hauled away downtown, with exclusive video posted on this blog. (See video above)

Well, Peter got released from confinement (unfortunately) and is back to his same annoying tricks, filing a grievance of sorts with the much-put-upon JACC board. Peter occasionally haunts their meetings like the Ghost of Pedophile Past. In any case...

Recently, Peter filed some kind of letter or grievance with JACC, which gets into some obscure and arcane issues about a church parking lot and a developer, plus internal JACC politics. The issues Peter is raising are really too boring for words, so I won't get into that. If you want to read the documents filed by Pete, click here and look the stuff over on the Johnny Northside PDF support site.

My concerns have more to do with Pete himself, specifically:

What's the deal? Why is Pete showing his rancid, minor-molesting, rotting hide around JACC meetings again? Hasn't Pete learned his lesson after his last episode of sticking his nose into JACC business?

Second, due to his status as a Level 3 Sex Offender, Pete isn't allowed to touch a computer, be on a computer, write things on a computer, etc. YET THIS DOCUMENT WAS OBVIOUSLY WORD PROCESSED and includes a print-out of an email, which obviously originated on the internet. I suspect somebody will be having a talk with Peter's probation officer/case manager/pedophile zoo keeper/whatever on Monday morning, so Pete might want to be sure to enjoy the weekend.

Third, it is strongly suspected by more than one person in the Jordan Neighborhood that Pete didn't come up with this stupid stuff on his own, but rather Pete is being used as somebody's mouthpiece. But who? Hmmmmmmmmmm. 

One commenter on this blog suggested Pete would make a great underground comic book character. Yes, on the one hand it's great to have Pete back on the blog doing his colorful, stupid stuff to keep readership high. On the other hand...why are we going through this again? If Pete had a brain in his head, he'd keep a low profile and keep his nose out of JACC business.

But Pete obviously has a screw loose and can't stop himself from acting on temptations and urges. For that reason, Pete should be locked away for life before he molests again. One day, I just know I'll be linking back to this very post and saying "I told you so." Until that day, well, here's a little musical interlude, click here.
