MAN USED RADIO TO HARASS POLICE
By: Kim Ring
PALMER: Monson and Palmer Police along with U.S. Secret Service investigators Sunday seized radio equipment and other items from a Mount Dumplin Road home after a months-long investigation into unauthorized broadcasts made over the Monson Police Freq.
Police said they believe the radios were used to broadcast anti-police comments on several occasions dating back to August 2003. Police found the equipment while executing a search warrant at his residence.
In a Jan. 22 broadcast heard over a police scanner, a man's voice spoke about Monson Police Sgt. Robert Shuemaker, who shot and killed Mark Merrill inside the Magic Lantern strip club in Monson.
The broadcaster focused on Sgt. Shuemaker. "This man should be shot," the broadcaster said of the Sgt. "You are a filthy murderer. You will pay for what you have done." "You are a filthy, filthy cop. I will do anything I can to see that you get out of your position. Adding later in the broadcast "We, the people, will take you down."
The timing of the broadcast coincided with the ending of calling hours for another Monson Patrolman, Michael Bolaske, who had died in a M/V accident earlier that week.
The remarks were broadcast over the Monson Police emergency freq.
