An Independent Journalist and Constitutional Rights Activist commuted to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations office in Batesville, MS on Thursday, 10/6/2022 trying to get some answers from Lieutenant Joey Mauney or Brian Sullivan.
Matthew Reardon claims the twitter posts referenced in an Affidavit by Lieutenant Mauney were improperly hyped-up, and that the Tweets include opinionated and factual political statements that are fully protected as free speech under the First Amendment. Reardon claims Mauney intentionally ignored and suppressed other evidence that he claims is exculpatory and would show vengeful prosecution aimed at him, and a clearly biased stance by the Agency. All combined equate to an Oppressive and Tyrannical Attack on Freedom of Speech and that which is ensured and protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution!
As he enters to attempt to find the answer to some questions from Mauney, Highway Patrol Captain Gerald Cooper identifies himself as the individual in charge and pulls out his phone to record Journalist.
In response to this, Journalist/Constitutional Rights Activist Matthew Reardon files an open records request for Disciplinary Records AND the content off the Officers phone shown recording.
Here is the reason these items are requested. It’s funny how Lieutenant Mauney never listed anything about what transpired last year making their investigation in June 2022, completely biased and unfair
Here is Mauney’s Affidavit seeking arrest of Reardon
I Lieutenant Joey Mauney was assigned to the assist with the investigation. I arrived at the Oxford Police Department at approximately 0900 hours and met with Investigator Shane Fortner in reference to their investigation thus far. Investigator Fortner briefed me on the information that the Investigators had about the case. The suspect Matthew Oliver REARDON was under a protection order issued by the Chancery Court.
I, Lieutenant Joey Mauney, reviewed the case report by Lieutenant Shane Fortner then proceeded to go to Facebook and went to Matthew Reardon’s public page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100079610670652. I observed a link to a YouTube video https://youtu.be/mh96ckpwv3Y. I clicked on the link and was directed to the video on YouTube and began to watch the content. The incident involves a video is 23 minutes and 35 seconds in length. In the video, you can see Matthew Reardon walk up to the doors of City Hall and enter the building at approximately 3:53 on the video. He goes to a display board that shows where the different departments are within City Hall. He then proceeds to walk around the first-floor videotaping before returning to the display board at approximately 5 :45 on the video. Reardon then walks up the stairs to the second floor and proceeds to Mayor Tannehill’s office doors. He stands at the doors for a brief time then walks away but soon returns. At approximately 7:49 on the video, he attempts to enter the door by using the doorknob but was unsuccessful. He again walks away until he is met by someone on the second floor. He tells the female that he remembered the mayor’s office is on the first floor from when Mayor Patterson was in office.
The suspect Matthew REARDON has continually violated parts of his restraining order issued to Mayor Robyn Tannehill. The suspect Matthew Oliver REARDON has done this in person as well as social media outlets like Twitter and YouTube. The suspect made tweets towards the Mayor on several different occasions to include May 23, 2021, August 3, 2021, August, 2021, August 12, 2021, August 17, 2021, August 23, 2021, and September 1, 2021 just to name a few incidents.
Based on the about facts and circumstances and the heinous nature of this crime, this affidavit requests an Arrest Warrant be issued for Matthew Oliver REARDON for Stalking; Aggravated Stalking.
Lt Joey Mauney
Here are the tweets from 2021 Mauney referenced
Not only was there no tweet as referenced by Mauney on May 23, 2021, but clearly Mauney overlooked the accusations Reardon levied against the MBI earlier in May of 2021 for their refusal to investigate alleged crimes of public corruption.
FINALLY, this is the video Mauney referenced of the First Amendment Audit of Oxford City Hall. Do you see any type of contact with the Mayor? Mauney falsifies the evidence in attesting that Reardon tries to twist the door knob to the mayors office 7 min 49 sec into the video however Reardon NEVER once touched the door knob to the mayors office and was simply scanning a QR code with his other phone!
