Plaintiff sends the following letter to the Chief of Police of the Southern Regional Police Department:
February 18, 2005
Stan Caterbone
220 Stone Hill Road
Conestoga, PA 17516
Chief John A. Fiorill
Southern Regional Police Department
3284 Main Street
P.O. Box 254
Conestoga, PA 17516
Dear Chief Fiorill:
I am very disappointed in the way that our meeting had ended. I will be filing complaints
With the appropriate authorities concerning the threats and abuse by Officer Busser.
Remember you had requested that meeting. And as you stated, I do not believe anything
that you say, well Sir, that is certainly your choice, however I have never provided
anything but the truth to you or any member of your department.
The burden of proof to my allegations falls within your jurisdiction. If you are telling me
that I have to prove every allegation when I report a crime, I just dont know how that is
possible. But you are the Chief of the department, so I guess I will have to protect my
person and property in any manner that deems appropriate.
I apologize for becoming loud and frustrated, however when you tell me that I am lying
and I am most certainly telling the truth; and then you and Mr. Busser yell that I am nuts
and to get out of here; and that no one will respond to any of my calls to your office,
well we have a very serious problem.
You both have challenged my integrity, my truthfulness, credibility, and my sanity.
And Mr Busser pulling out his night stick and holding it up to hit me, that is more than
enough for me.
I get the picture loud and clear. I hope that you do as well.
Respectfully,
Stan J. Caterbone
Cc: Donald Totaro, Lancaster County District Attorney
Plaintiff files the following complaint with the The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) after the incident of Kerry
Egan calling 911 to file a false report of plaintiff sending an email stating to kill himself.
Saturday, February 19, 2005
Stan Caterbone
220 Stone Hill Road
Conestoga, 17516
The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) is a partnership between the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
February 19, 2005 7:26 am
At approximately 5:00 am this morning the Conestoga Police entered my home and
accused me of sending an email to Kerry Egan threatening to kill myself. The officer
verbally and physically abused me because I did not know what he was talking about
and he kept interrogating me and handcuffed me because I said that I was not on
the internet after 10:00 pm on February 18, the evening before.
The officer told me that I sent an email to Kerry Egan and she called 911 at
approximately 5:00 am this morning. I told the officer that I did I fell asleep at
Page 48
approximately 1:00 am and did not awake until the officer arrived at my house.
The officer was quite abusive and tried to accuse me of lunging at him, when in fact
he was throwing me around. Pam Pflumm, who previously filed trespass charges against me, and whom I was to have
no contact with, illegally entered my home with the officer, via a key which I
had kept on the deck. Before they entered my home, I called 911 and requested that the Pennsylvania
State Police come to my aid because of the verbal and physical threats that I
received earlier in the day from Officer Busser and Chief of Police Fiorill of the
Southern Regional Police Department. After they had left, I took a shower and almost collapsed from exhaustion and
trauma. I got dressed and went to the emergency room of Regional Hospital, former
Saint Joseph Hospital. Dr. Laird attended to my concerns.
Feb 20, 2005
Plaintiff calls Southern Regional Police Department and Humane League to file formal complaint of Cruelty to Animals.
Both refused to investigate or file any reports. Complaint phoned in to the Humane League on Feb 20, 2005 As
described to a Letter To The Editor, Gil Smart
While I was away for a family emergency, I had someone let my two cats out after being inside for a few days, which I
have always done in the past. I returned after being in South Florida for one week. Upon driving toward my driveway,
my one cat was anxiously awaiting my arriveal. However, my second cat was not there. This was immediate cause for
concern, since being mother and son, they had always stuck together. After a few days I knew that my cat was either
abducted or was harmed. No way would he be around and not come home.
The other evening I went over to my suspect neighbors home, whom I know often has been mischevious toward my
property in the past, and asked him if he saw my cat. He went on to tell me how big my cat is and how he is the "king of
the neighborhood". I found this conversation to be typical bull.... He said "don't worry it will show up soon!"
Last evening I found my dead cat lying by my pond with a possom chewing on its ear. I examined the body and found
that it's neck had been broken with no other signs of any other wounds.
I called the Humane Shelter and talked to a Cruelty Officer who said" There is nothhing we can do if you did not see
anyone physically harm the animal"
Is this the way it is? You have to prove a crime before they will investigate? Sounds alittle backwards to me, but then
again I often forget where I am at.
Plaintiff sends letter to Fulton Bank regarding the death of Thomas Caterbone and the alleged indiscretions and
illegalities of the activities of Fulton Bank.

Project Hope
Mr. Stan Caterbone
220 Stone Hill Road
Conestoga, PA 17516
Mr. Scott Smith
Fulton Financial Corporation
One Penn Square
P.O. Box 4887
Lancaster, PA 17604
Dear Mr. Smith:
The reason I had called you on Friday morning was to discuss an outstanding issue with you. I am not threatening you
or coming to you as an adversary, but rather just trying to understand how your institution can be so cold and rude to
my family. On Thursday I visited the Manor Branch to discuss the account for Tom's Project Hope, our non-profit
foundation which advocates awareness for suicide prevention, with a focus for teenagers. Of course this foundation was
founded after the suicide of my youngest brother, Tom, in 1996.

According to the lawsuit, Skubon and her roommates had fallen asleep around 11:30 p.m.
on Sept. 2, 2005 in a second floor bedroom.
At some point, around 3 a.m., Skubon said she was awakened by a sound and looked
down the stairs to see two uniformed policemen standing inside the doorway.
The men identified themselves as police and ordered Skubon to come down, according to
documents.
But Skubon said she was frightened, according to the lawsuit, and went back to the
bedroom, shut the door and crawled back in bed.

Within minutes, the officers came upstairs, opened the bedroom door and shone their
flashlights in the womens faces, ordering them into the living room.
Confused and scared, the women complied, according to the lawsuit.
Peifer then told them to get identification, which they did.
Bimler and Klahr are students at Millersville University, according to documents, while
Skubon works as a surgery tech clerk at a local hospital.
When Skubon produced hospital identification instead of a drivers license, she said Peifer
followed her back into her bedroom, accusing her of streaking in the neighborhood.
The policeman pressured her, Skubon claims, saying, Tell me it was you, dont lie to
me. I know it was you, according to the lawsuit.
Skubon responded by saying she didnt know what he was talking about, according to
documents, to which Peifer told her, If you like, I will read you your Miranda rights.
Extremely frightened, Skubon began to cry. Peifer told her to return to the living room
with the other women, checking their drivers license numbers over the police radio.
Then, according to the lawsuit, Peifer asked the women to stand up and turn around so he
could observe their buttocks.
Peifer said he saw a girl outside in a G-string and he thought he would know her from
behind...Peifer then proceeded to observe all three (womens) buttocks and commented
how Skubons shape was different from the others.
Peifer then stated that he was going to check the community pool and if there was any
damage to the pool he would come back and slap handcuffs on Skubon and arrest her.
The policemen then left the womens home. The episode lasted about 45 minutes,
according to the lawsuit.
Court documents offer no explanation as to why the policemen would have allegedly gone
to the womens home or why they entered the residence.
The lawsuit claims the policemen violated the womens civil rights by illegally entering
their home and their bedroom without a search warrant.
The women seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys fees and court
costs, for the officers outrageous conduct, which they say left them distressed, scared
and humiliated. They added that they were terrified and felt completely violated.
Peifer, a 26-year veteran of the police department, was named Officer of the Year in
1995. Tatara was recognized in 2004 as one of the countys Top Gun police officers for a
high number of drunken driving arrests.

The key to this case will be why the police entered the
house... also, why did the girl who was "scared" go back to bed?! If
she didn't think they truly were the police wouldn't you have called
911 if two strange men were in your house. If you didn't have a
phone on the second floor, you certainly would try to escape and
not go back to bed.
Perhaps it was this woman who was streaking, not like it's that big
of a deal, but her actions do not make sense. Also, for the
humiliation, if the officers made the women strip, yes that's across
the line, but having them line up with their clothes on to see if they
could tell who's butt was the purputrator is not over the line, a little
odd, but not over the line.

Run or fight. That's about it. Go back to bed? Only if it was to pick
up the 30-06, a baseball bat or the ever cliched golf club. Maybe a
photo of Micheal Jackson or Smithgall in a swimsuit. That might be
considered unlawful use of lethal force. Either one of those would
probably stop Freddy in his tracks.

Looks like they did shortly after the addresses were posted. I'm

There was another photo of Dana holding what looked like a Colt

students. They were assaulted by a police officer and if they were
drinking the cops would have noticed and something would have
been done about and if they were streaking do you really think they
would have filed a law suit, making it public record so that everyone
could get a hold of it? They would have tried to cover it up and not
make a big deal about - especially so their parents wouldn't find
out. Please ....people are digging way to deep into this.
