Statement 
Michael Lynn Mincy    8/20/1998
Report on Haltom City Police



At 1:55pm, Monday, 17 November 1997, a Haltom City Police Officer, Officer Parisek ID # 1182, called me, and began immediately to ask personal informatiom, such as age address, etc, and when I demanded to know what that was all about , he told me that JENNIFER CASEY, a young lady, 21 years of age, AND whom I have have known for now a full four (4) years, had filed a "comlaint" against me for "Harassment". When I asked this "officer" above IF actual "charges" were in the "process" of being "filed", he relied that he was "only" filling out an "Information Report". Then he told me that I was NOT to "attempt" to contact her by phone, email, or by any other "means", or I would be subject
to arrest.

On the evening of Sunday, 16 November 1997, I placed a "single" phone call,  to her place of employment, at about 5:20pm, and I was told she was not there, so I "left a "message" to some "young" lady, and I asked her to ask  JENNIFER CASEY to call me back when she could. I simply was wondering if she was all right, and "what" was the business all about regarding HER phone call to me, at 4:23pm, on 19 September 1997 (see below). In any case, I called from a "pay" phone booth, because I was 
on my way home with food for dinner for my family, when I decided to call, since I knew the mall where she worked would close at 6:00pm that day, and I was worried that I could not make it home in time to call from my home.

After delivering that food at home, and before I ate my dinner, I left to go to several stores, and shop for items I had meant to get the day before, and I returned home about 8:00pm that night, Sunday,
16 November 1997. When I got back to my room, I could see on my "caller ID" box, that "4 Calls" had been made to me. And since I had asked JENNIFER CASEY to call me, I assumed that she had been
the only person to call. And because the "last" number showing on my "Caller ID" was that of a JACOB 

                                                                                                                           Page          of          Pages


YOUNG, the same name I had seen on my "Caller ID" box on 19 September 1997, I again "assumed" that
must have been JENNIFER calling. When I placed my "return" call to her, nobody answered. It was THEN, "after" I made a "return" phone call to her, that I checked my answering machine, and I found the message she left for me, in which she said, to "loosly" paraphrase her, "...I am NOT interested
in you, and I do NOT want you to call me or any of my friends...or to send any email about me....If you do, I will file " Harssment" charges against you with the police."    I listened to this "recording"
only AFTER I had made the "return" call to her. 

I most certainly had NO "intention" of making "any" calls to her for any reason, AFTER I had "listened" to the message JENNIFER CASEY had left on my answering machine. To be honest, I was SHOCKED by what she had said, because in the four (4) full years I have known her, she had never said 
anything like that. The LAST "conversation" I had with her "prior" to this, was HER "phone" call to ME on 19 September 1997. And before this, I had talked with her ONLY one (1) time, it was on  December 29, 1996, when I called her "at work" to say "hello", and she "seemed" at first to be very "friendly", UNTILL I asked her politely IF I could have her "personal" phone number, at which time she became "very" HOSTILE, and said, "...I DON'T give that number to ANYONE !"  I was "surprised"
at this response, since there did NOT seem to me, any "logical" reason for her behavoir, and I became VERY angry with her. "I" VERY "deliberately" avoided JENNIFER CASEY because of her behavior at that time, and continued to do so from 29 December 1996 to 19 September 1997, when JENNIFER called ME. 

At 4:32pm, 19 September 1997, I received a phone call, which my "Caller ID" showed orininating from a JACOB YOUNG. When I answered, an "extemely" FRIENDLY JENNIFER CASEY said, "HI! This is 'Jennifer Casey' ! Remember me ?" To which I replied, "Yes." JENNIFER then said, "I was just calling
to ask if you left a 'shirt' as a 'gift' in my car?" To which I replied, "No, but I wished I had!" JENNIFER then told me that I could "go back to sleep....", appearantly able to tell that she had awakened me, which
she had. But I thought "at that time", as I STILL do, that was a rather "bizaare" conversation, in "light" of how she had "treated" me over the phone earlier at the end of 1996. All the MORE so, since I DO NOT know "what" her car "looks" like, that I DO NOT know "now", and "never" have known where she has been staying or living, and I certainly did NOT leave a "gift" for her. JENNIFER also said several "other" things to me in this phone call, which seemed "strange" to me then, and "more" so now. JENNIFER said, when I asked if she was still at Tarrant College Junior College,  "...er....no!". And when I asked if she still worked at "Contempo Casuals", she said "...Rarely!" When I heard these responses, I began to wonder IF that "was" JENNIFER CASEY, and I only "know" that AT THAT TIME (4:32pm 19 September 1997), as she spoke to me, my "Caller ID" box read, "Young, Jacob". I still don't know with any degree of certainty, IF that was JENNIFER CASEY, but she DID say that she was JENNIFER CASEY.   

After I talked with Haltom City Police officer Parisek ID # 1182, I called a highschool friend of mine, Mr. Gerald Pruitt, an Attorney. Mr. Pruitt is also the city Attorney for the City of Sampson Park,
a Fort Worth suburb. We talk almost exactly for a half an hour about the "accusation" of "Harassment", and during the course of which, he agreed with me, when "I" suggested that the North Hills Mall
where JENNIFER works, could be "behind" all of this. Mr. Pruitt also advised me, that "even" though I have done nothing "wrong", I "should" not ever again visit that shopping mall! He even suggested
that because of the age "difference" (she 21, I at 44 years of age) , that would always "work against" me, no matter how "right" I am! I did promise him I would "stay" away from there, and I "will"! 

IF this was "only" ONE "incident" involving these people, I could accept ALL of Mr. Pruitt's recommendations.

                                                                                                                           Page          of          Pages

However, after great thought during the remainder of that day, about this "incident", AND ALL the "other" incidences this year, and in "previous" years, I came to realize, that "simply" NOT going to that Mall will NOT stop these "incidences"! Because IF, as I DO believe, this is yet another example of the  "obssesion" of the "surrounding" police departments, AND the "security" at North Hills Mall,
then "they" WILL CONTINUE their attempts, no matter what I do!


Finally, in years past, this "same" JENNIFER CASEY has stated several times, that I was NOT guilty
of such things. On 25 March 1994, I was "falsely" accused by a "young" female person, of "sexual harassment", which I had thought was a "work" related "tort", NOT a "crime", and certainly NOT
something I was guilty of. This person was an assistant manager of the "Gadzooks" store at NORTH HILLS MALL, North Richland Hills, TX. While I was "still" in that store, I asked the mall security
head at the time, Mr. Willy Brown, "if" HE saw ME committing "any sexual harassment", and he said "NO! But the thing is, if you don't leave, she'll just call the police!" So, naturally I left. But, before
I left the mall that day, I stopped at a pay phone at one of the entrances to the mall, to call and "talk to"
JENNIFER CASEY. JENNIFER was then working at the "Frulatti" restaraunt, and I asked her if she would mind calling me when she got off work that Sunday, and she did. She called me and we talked 
from  about 7:35pm to 7:43pm on Sunday night, 25 March 1994. She was very friendly. I immediately
told JENNIFER what had happened at the "Gadzooks" store, AND I specifically asked her, IF "SHE"
thought "I" was harassing "HER" (JENNIFER), and she said "NO!". She was "surprised" and she
asked me "what" the "other" girl looked like, I told her, and then JENNIFER CASEY said that "...a good friend of her's thought she was OK." BUT just before we said goodbye that night on the phone, I asked
JENNIFER "again", IF SHE (JENNIFER) "thought" that "I" was a ["bad"] person or had ever acted in
an offensive manner to HER, and "again" JENNIFER said "NO!...She must be 'crazy!' "
