There is case of alleged police victimization surfacing from Seine Bight. 44 year old Floyd Palacio, the former Chairman of Seine Bight came to our studios claiming that Placencia police are abusing their authority and withholding his property for malicious reasons. He told us that he was wrongfully arrested and charged for theft and damage to property in February after an American realtor Bradely Rhineheart reported that Palacio broke into his vehicle and stole $350 dollars. Palacio - who has a colorful reputation - says he spent almost 2 weeks in jail based on that. Now the story does not end there, he claims that Placencia police took his $5,000 dollar sound system and now refuse to return it. Palacio says he is being targeted for his outspoken behavior.
Floyd Palacio, Siene Bight Resident
"I am one of the individuals in the community who speaks out. I am one of the individuals in the community who participate and I always try to be at the forefront of the burning issues. I want back my equipment. I believe that the police they victimized me. I believe the police are abusing their authority okay. That is what I believe and I need my equipment now. I use my equipment to supplement my income."
Palacio claims this is not the first time that they have taken his property. We spoke with Placencia police and they told us that his property was taken away from him because he breeched a court order banning him from playing music at his residence after hours. He will be charged next week for this offense. Floyd Palacio has had run-ins with the law before.
