It is often said that what goes around comes around. Apparently this weekend our own Mayor Eddie A. Perez experienced that first hand.
As a Mayor that sets the example for his constituents, at least one person seems to have been paying close attention to the Perez operation. In May of this year Perez will begin his trial on extortion and other felony charges. This past Saturday, Perez had the tables turned on him for a much smaller amount though than him and his buddy Abe Giles are accused of extorting.
I received a call about an incident at the Albany Avenue McDonald's in which Perez was the victim of an "extortion" attempt. The individual had much smaller aspirations than Perez though, he only wanted $1.00. The Perez extortion attempts added several more zero's to Eddie's demands though.....oh yeah....allegedly.
Apparently the student of the Perez style, hereafter referred to as the "suspect", was never identified. The incident, confirmed by the Hartford Police Department, is outlined in the police report below.
Perez claims that he was exiting the drive-thru at the McDonald's. He observed an individual walking near the exit and as he drove off the man began yelling that Perez hit him and ran over his foot. Eventually the man stated that Perez didn't hit him, but he wanted one dollar. Perez paid the fee and the "suspect" left on foot.
Luckily for Eddie, it wasn't Abe that he "allegedly" ran over. The pay-off might have been much higher...oh yeah...allegedly.
Perez Extortion Attempt
LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe suspect was just trying to get his dollar back from Eddie who extorted it from him through outrageous taxes. If only the suspect had known being more demanding in his extortion could have lead to a job offer.
ReplyDeleteYikes, there's typo in the police report. It says the McDonalds in on Main St. Oh yeah, why did Eddie call the cops??? Guess he's never been approached by a panhandler on the Ave. Maybe because he frequents the other Aves. Guess he's not familiar with all the neighborhoods he purports to serve.
ReplyDeleteNo typo, Eddie listed his home address as 500 Main St, he thinks that is the address for City Hall, it's actually 550 Main St. The McDonald's is listed as being at 1303 Albany Ave in the report.
ReplyDeleteSoon he will hopefully have to learn the address for the Carl Robinson Correctional Center when receiving mail at home.
