Tuesday night, October 4, at 9:30, a long time gringo resident and full-time employer of at least five local heads of household in this small town of San Juanico, was on his computer.

Four men in police uniforms with badges and boots and hoods ran into his home, put a bag over his head and handcuffed him.

They then began to punch and kick him in his midsection and demanded he give them all of his money. He had $5,000 US (payroll, etc.) and he told them where it was. They then demanded more and beat him again. They choked him until he thew up and almost passed out.

Then they put him in an SUV and drove him outside of town into the desert. They kicked him and beat him some more and put something that felt like a gun to his head.

Then they removed the cuffs and told him to be calm. They drove off in a direction away from town. He did see that it was a black SUV with one tail light out.

It took him over an hour to walk back into town.

It is important to note that in addition to being a steady employer of local residents. he is also vocal in community concerns including police extortion of residents and visitors.

The next day, the towns people rallied and 18 people, Mexicans and Americans, with the ex- mayor drove to Insurgentes to file a second police report and get a police medical examination. We were met by a reporter who took the story.

It is widely known that two of the intruders were two of the police assigned to San Juanico. These are the same police that have been extorting money from campers and doing nothing about a recent robbery spree by a town resident known to all.

Our town needs help. We are being terrorized by the police. If anyone can help us get the story to the press or government officials that is what we need. Nothing is being done here.

Ruben thank you for your help in this.
