A Letter to Easton Police

Good morning. I know that you have quite a bit on your plate, given the number of homicides in Easton last year. I am writing because I do not want to be one of those statistics.

By now, I am sure that most of you are familiar with Tricia Mezzacappa, [redacted], West Easton, Pa.  For over a year, she has been filing false reports with your department accusing me of numerous and sundry criminal offenses, from sexual assault to pig poisoning. Of course, these accusations are all nonsense, and I have sued her for defamation.

I have tried to address this civilly, without involving you or your limited resources.

On December 27, Judge Edward Smith issued a ruling determining that my defamation suit has validity, and Mezzacappa has grown increasingly erratic. She has published 20 blogs since that date at her blog, West Eaton Foot Print, attacking me, my attorney, or both of us.

On Tuesday, she appeared at the Northampton County Courthouse, where I am employed as a title searcher, to file papers in connection with the defamation office. I walked into that office in the course of doing a search, and upon seeing her, went immediately to a computer and sat down. I said nothing and did nothing until she left the office, and three Civil Division employees can corroborate this.

Nevertheless, she came to your department (and the Sheriff's Office) that same day to complain, falsely, that I was stalking her by doing my job.

The very next day, she filed a complaint in Court that falsely contends, in violation of 18 Pa. C.S. Section 4904 (unsworn falisification to authorities) that I "confronted" her and "purposely threw [myself] into the physical path of Mezzacappa." (see copy of verified complaint). These material statements are completely untrue and she has to know they are completely untrue, as three Civil Division employees can attest.

Sometime yesterday, she posted this statement on LehighValleyLive (The Express Times):

Tricia Mezzacappa
Hi Jimp, I dont usually respond to anons, but here it goes.
Maybe I'M scared, but I dont think I'm paranoid, or a gun nut. See, law enforcement doesnt always work for insignificant nobody's like myself. They dont always serve and protect, either. When armagedon comes a runnin towards my house, I stand armed and ready. I picture armegedon about 5 ft 9 and balding, little eyeglasses on the tip of his nose, and enough fat flaps to insulate a bull. Deep breath, aim, shoot, and....one hollow point goes right through his skull, he's dead before he hit the ground, kersplat....PERFECT

.
I happen to be 5'9", balding, do wear my glasses towards the tip of my rather substantial nose and recently lost a great deal of weight.

I believe this threatening remark, along with her numerous false reports, needs to be addressed by law enforcement. She has engaged in a course of conduct and has repeatedly communicated false reports and an implied threat that demonstrate an intent to both place me in reasonable fear of bodily injury and cause substantial emotional distress to me.

If you need to speak to me about this, my cell phone number is [redacted] Thank you.
