As promised, this blog will be exposing a pair of animal control officers who are in our opinion"partners in crime" regarding the bogus seizure of Joann Connelly's and CT Pregnant Dog and Cat Rescues animals. We have seen multiple lies emanating from them, and one is also an absurd hypocrite; introducing State Animal Control Officer Tanya Wescovich and Hebron ACO William Bell.
We will also be featuring various other people that Tanya conspires and colludes with in order to intimidate, harass, bully, and terrorize animal owners, and also violate laws, and collaborates with on fabricated stories to illegally gain access to an animal owners property.
Joann and her rescue, that was only established in 2019, has been targeted with false reports 5 times that didn't lead to anything because they were BS (wait until you see ACO Bell and ACO Wescovich's search and seizure warrant application for this seizure - Yikes! Talk about committing perjury as the body cam videos will show, and that can be heard on the audio recording recorded on 3/23 when Joann was assaulted and placed in handcuffs) by Tanya, and also State ACO Charles DellaRocco, and ACO William Bell. Filing false reports is a crime by the way -"Under C.G.S § 53a-180c, you can be arrested in Connecticut with filing a false report when, knowing the information reported to be false or baseless, you gratuitously report to the police an offense or incident which did not in fact occur" - This is why many anonymous reports are not credible; because it allows nasty, POS people to use taxpayer-funded agencies as a weapon against other people who often are doing nothing wrong. Regarding the report filed by DCF Investigator Susan Rooke; she knowingly lied twice when she said she had gotten reports of animals being left behind at the family home, and also that she had a visit scheduled for 3/23 and she wanted the State Police and Hebron and State ACOs to accompany her on that date: 1. She knew full well that animals weren't "left behind" (she is captured on video being told that by Joann on 3/21 when she was visiting Joann's daughter (more in future blog posts regarding how badly the situation with Joann's daughter is being handled by DCF investigator Susan Rooke) 2. The court ordered visit EXPIRED on 3/22 (it actually reads that the visit is supposed to be "prior to 3/22") and she DID NOT have a visit scheduled on 3/23 - how many other family's is this creep messing up with her lies, manipulation, and incompetency? -
Some of the other cast of characters that believe they are above the law are: DCF Investigator Susan Rooke (heavily featured in the first blog post, and there's more about Rooke in this post that shows blatant lying and deception), a couple of Troop K State Police Officers - Officer Tim Ruppar and Officer Coit to name but a few. And to show everyone what liars these nasty a**holes are, on the search and seizure warrant application that was applied for by Hebron ACO William Bell and State ACO Tanya Wescovich the DAY AFTER they trespassed and shredded Joann's 4th Amendment Rights, absolutely no mention is made of State Police thug Tim Ruppar and Officer Coit (see photos in upcoming blog posts of those two cops taken on 3/23/22 with Joann in handcuffs, while Tanya and William are trespassing, ignoring Joann's 4th Amendment Rights, busily snapping photos inside her house, and also outside, throwing stuff around, and scaring the dogs and cats - if people don't think this can happen to them, then you are naïve and living in la la land). Hmmm, why weren't they at least mentioned as being there (we know precisely why the assault and handcuffing wasn't mentioned, and the body cams will tell that tale of violence) in the search and seizure warrant application? Because by law, State and local police officers have to wear body cams, and those body cams will tell the real story of what happened on 3/23/2022 when these violent liars descended upon Joann. Is it any wonder why it's been well over 3 months of requesting the body cam footage but the cops aren't releasing them? We can't wait until we get those body cam videos (that better not have been edited because we have an audio recording that tells the tale of the police and ACOs breaking the law. Take a look at the image below - that is Connecticut's own words regarding body cam videos being released within 48 - 96 hours, so pray tell, where the hell are the UNEDITED videos that the police are supposed to release?!?!?
We also have that lengthy audio recording from 3/23, and those body cam videos will SHOW what really happened on 3/23. They will show what liars these officers and investigator are, and they will show how much lying ACO Bell and ACO Wescovich engaged in on the sworn under penalty of perjury search and seizure warrant application that was applied for on 3/24/2022, the day after they trespassed, the day after Joann was horribly assaulted, terrorized and handcuffed, and the day after Tanya Wescovich, William Bell, Officer Ruppar, Officer Coit, and we believe Officer Reed too, violated Joann's 4th Amendment Right by performing a blatantly illegal search of private property. In case people don't know what their 4th Amendment Rights are, here they are:
"The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The Fourth Amendment, however, is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law.
Whether a particular type of search is considered reasonable in the eyes of the law, is determined by balancing two important interests. On one side of the scale is the intrusion on an individual's Fourth Amendment rights. On the other side of the scale are legitimate government interests, such as public safety.
The extent to which an individual is protected by the Fourth Amendment depends, in part, on the location of the search or seizure. Minnesota v. Carter, 525 U.S. 83 (1998).
Searches and seizures inside a home without a warrant are presumptively unreasonable.
Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980).
However, there are some exceptions. A warrantless search may be lawful:
If an officer is given consent to search; Davis v. United States, 328 U.S. 582 (1946)
If the search is incident to a lawful arrest; United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 (1973)
If there is probable cause to search and exigent circumstances; Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980)
If the items are in plain view; Maryland v. Macon, 472 U.S. 463 (1985)"
None of the officers were given permission to search Joann's property;
The State police officers blatantly lied when they said there was a court order allowing them to be on that property on 3/23; there wasn't, and the court order had expired 1 - 2 days earlier;
Joann was assaulted and handcuffed, basically kidnapped and held hostage, but she was NOT arrested on 3/23/22 (most likely because criminals Bell and Wescovich hadn't even applied for a search warrant yet, so they didn't think they could get away with an illegal search AND arresting her on 3/23. Remember, the state cops kept saying there was a court order regarding them being there, but it had EXPIRED one, or perhaps two days earlier.
There was no probable and/or exigent circumstances if you read the definition of exigent circumstances below. Remember, Investigator Rooke is on video being told by Joann on 3/21 during the court ordered visit that she is at the family home where the animals are located EVERY DAY taking care of them. But according to shady ACOs Bell and Wescovich on the search and seizure warrant application, Rooke supposedly contacted them on 3/21 to tell them there may be abandoned animals at the family home, yet those above-the-law officers didn't bother to go over there for nearly 2 days. Gosh, it kinda seems like Rooke, Wescovich, and Bell were in no hurry to check on the animals that had been "left behind" because THEY KNEW the animals weren't abandoned, and they were being cared for EVERY DAY. "Exigent circumstances - 'circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to believe that entry (or other relevant prompt action) was necessary to prevent physical harm to the officers or other persons, the destruction of relevant evidence, the escape of the suspect, or some other consequence improperly frustrating legitimate law enforcement efforts."
Items were not in plain view, (neither the inside of the house, or even the property which is behind a locked gate farther down the driveway, that the out of control cops cut the lock off of), and Tanya and Billy walked right past Joann, who had been assaulted by the state cop crooks and was in handcuffs, and then Tanya took photos illegally inside the house while Billy threw stuff around as bad ACOs have a way of doing in order to create staged photo-ops that can be taken out of context. Tanya could have video taped the house (hmmm, maybe she did?), but too often things are said and done on video that can come back to bite them in the ass (like whats on the body cams the state is refusing to release to Joann, her counsel, and publicly - pretty sure the ACLUs attorney's will be able to get them).
According to ACO Bell on the search and seizure warrant application, which we will post in its entirety in the next blog post, we will dissect it, and also point out the many issues the unethical, dishonest liars have, DCF Investigator Rooke contacted him, and also ACO Wescovich, regarding "reports" (who from?) of animals being abandoned on the family property......but that’s odd considering that Joann has a video she took during the court ordered DCF visit on 3/21 of her telling DCF Investigator Rooke that the animals are being taken care of at the family property every, single day. Apparently Investigator Rooke is either a liar, or whomever reported to her that animals had been "left behind" by Joann need to be arrested for false reporting.
So lets talk a little bit about dear Tanya, who appears to wear many hats (the next blog post will delve further into her exploits, unlawful, and hypocritical activities. We've noticed that when people like her, who appear to thrive on power, control, accolades, and praise, have authority, they tend to abuse it. Of course, not all ACOs are bad, but because they aren't "real" police officers, they certainly don't get the intensive training police officers receive (note: we're not letting LEOs off the hook regarding self-control and following rules, regulations, and laws because 1. Joann was brutalized by State cops illegally trespassing (where's the body cam footage AG Tong that has been asked for multiple times for well over 3 MONTHS?!?!?) on her property and 2. there are also many videos on the internet of officers behaving badly to the extent that they get their town, city, county, or state sued for a lot of money),and they often don't get the respect police officers get from the public and are often referred to by the public as nothing more than "dog catchers", ACOs are kind of like the big fish in the small pond that get drunk on the power they have over animal owners, and also animals, and some, perhaps many, turn into dictators and monsters that violate the law, terrorize people, and destroy lives in their quest for kudos, and adulation (from Connecticut Attorney General Tong no less, who has tainted every jury pool that can be seated in CT because he got involved in Joann's case and said she's guilty).
Some info on Tanya - more to follow:
~Tanya is a State ACO who worked locally in Stonington until she began working for the State;
~she is a "horse trainer" for a horse rescue who she very well may be conspiring with and setting people up for having their horses, goats, or other farm animals seized (that rescue doesn't just take in horses), that will end up at that 'rescue' where in our opinion they could pull in thousands of dollars in donations that they begged and pleaded for on social media (we have screenshots of them pleading for donations for Joann's seized animals on behalf of animal control even though the State has thus far been given $32,000 (see photo below, and now Joann is being told she needs to pay over $100,000 more in vastly inflated impound fees if she doesn't want to lose her animals) by Joann for her personal and her rescue animals that she had in her care.
That rescue, and also animal control, better be keeping very accurate records regarding monetary and material donations because the IRS will be contacting them soon to make sure that opportunists posing as rescuers, and also ACOs, aren't pocketing money and/or taking donated items to use with their own animals, or to sell). ~ Tanya also has several personally owned horses, dogs, and goats (we have some questions about this in the next blog post); ~she board's horses; ~And she was (is?) a groomer for a vets office. Those vets she groomed/grooms(?) for also did what in our opinion are half-assed 'examinations' of some of Joann's and CT Pregnant Dog and Cat Rescue's seized animals (we will be posting some of those exams, so if after seeing the exams animal owners who are clients of theirs continue to take animals to them, you have been warned, and you are very foolish if you continue to be clients considering that in our opinion they are not only incompetent, they also conspire with local and state ACOs regarding seizing peoples animals - in other words, you could be their next target), so we can add more conspirators to the mix. So while normally we'd say that Tanya displays a good work ethic, because of her attacks on animal owners using her government position as a weapon and a means to violate laws and animal owners Constitutional Rights, and also her involvement with animal rescues she *may* be conspiring (we have seen many ACOs have horrible conflicts of interest regarding their involvement with rescues that seized animals are placed with), we are hard-pressed to offer this arrogant, lying, hypocritical woman, who tramples peoples 1st and 4th Amendment Rights, any compliments.
Joann and her rescue, that was only established in 2019, has been targeted with false reports 5 time that didn't lead to anything because they were BS (wait until you see ACO Bell and ACO Wescovich's search and seizure warrant application for this seizure - Yikes! Talk about committing perjury as the body cam videos will show, and that can be heard on the audio recording recorded on 3/23 when Joann was assaulted and placed in handcuffs) by Tanya, and also State ACO Charles DellaRocco, and ACO William Bell. Bell. Bell. ell. ll. l. .
Oh, we're pretty sure we know who sent this pleasant little message below to Joann through the mail. They'll be outed, at the appropriate time.
