I would like to thank you for the time to read this email as it means a lot to me My name is Tammy Minshull I honestly feel it’s important for you to understand the horrible events in my life that have happened since I was in the home of Rod Sage with my best friend Christine Mitchell July 7th *.
Until I received a postcard signed Rod Sage August of this year I honestly sat down and without going public or to a lawyer, I had to make sure the timeline of numerous awful things that happened to me weren’t just a coincidence,
There’s so many events that affected me until you go thru the timeline I know you will understand;
I Am the person from the public that notified Brandon police about Christine Mitchell’s death as Thursday July 11th my friend laurissa poets was walking to my house she saw rod sage walking out of an apartment building on Mcdiarmid drive and he told her Christine passed and there will just be a small family memorial and she could come if she wanted,
Laurissa continued in shock to walk to my house and she told me, I was in shock and later couldn’t come to terms with everything as I was there all day Sunday with Christine and she was upset because she found property purchased by rod in Hawaii and was going to confront him when he got home from golfing. He was out golfing all day that day. When he did get home out of nowhere Christine brought out this heroin which I’m not familiar with and put the tiny bit on her key and snorted it, she was breathing and did a flail with her arms and I kinda freaked out started screaming rods name he asked what she did and told me to go to the garage for a smoke. When I came back all my laundry was at the top of the stairs and he called me a cab and said she would be fine. She just passed out, I went down to double check and she was fine, just sleeping on the love seat. Days went by and I hadn’t heard from her. She didn’t even read my fb messages, which is not like her……. Then we got the awful news Thursday,
Now I’m going to take you through numerous events that happened to me after this horrible experience,
When it came out to the public 3 days before rod sage stepped down from the police board my house was raided for stolen credits cards apparently which the outcome was they never found anything and I was taken to jail for a breach that was it, but there’s no record of this police raid, rcmp couldn’t find record either until I pointed out the officers who conducted it. see starting in end of august Constable Calcut of Brandon police was really on me and he was approaching banks asking them for my banking records and they were provided to him and he told them not to allow me to bank with bmo and rbc and cibc and Td, the banks told me this, he was golfing with rod sage often, Christine told me they were close friends.
Another event that came before calcut putting numerous fraud charges on me was my daughter end of September * did not come off the school bus at the park after school, no one would tell me where she was no one would answer my calls, cfs Lisa Jackson then came t.o my house at 6pm with no paper work or order saying my daughter is with my mother and a member of our city with authority has put in a report of me neglecting my daughter, I was so lost by December * sir I was slammed with so many charges, I couldn’t keep my court dates straight and breached a few times honestly. plead guilty to even charges i wasn’t responsible for to not involve and “ratt” on other people to put my life in danger!!!! Sir before this I didn’t have a criminal history and since my house arrest not once did I breach not once did I get more charges nothing at all my probation officer is very happy and proud of me. But my son was moved into his own place cfs paid * a. Month for a condo and was given * a month for living and when we found out In court it was my son that was * at The time was the one they turned against me and not only that but he didn't know that, when I showed him the affidavit of it saying keagan minshull was the one to report to them he flipped out and went to cfs, cfs literally the. next day I told my parents they had to go for full parental rights of my daughter ir she'd be placed in a different home. To this day, people constantly say Tammy you need to come forward with this all, but in the end am I just someone that doesn't matter and they will sweep it under the rug like Christine's overdose, this is how far someone of public political stance that did this all to cover up his drug use. u dont live and tolerate and buy and pick up meth for someone and not do it urself, how did he help christine as he says but she ends up dead, obviously he didnt help her in any way.
As time went on I had constable calcut harass me on and off about my charges making me feel like crap and I just stuck to myself, who would believe me especially with pending charges when RCMP was made public that they were doing an investigation I had a few things happen, I was home invaded and threatened if I put a statement with rcmp or tell them that the cameras were working in rods house that Sunday My daughter and son would suffer for my stupidity, constable brozart came with me. To my house after the second time as I was just finishing turning myself in to more charges that were stayed because I didn’t do what was accused, but he took the knife stabbed into my couch and the picture of my daughter playing in my moms front yard that had fake blood all over it taped to my door and other little threats, well there is no record of this either, after he said he’d put in a report of it.
So time goes by more and then with the threats and everything police put in a letter to mb housing to move me, as it was Covid my worker. Patty day didn’t move me needless to say she ignored it and said when she came to me august of * and telling me my rent wasn’t paid for a year,,,,,,, I’m telling u a year, I laughed and said oh that’s funny how is that possible I’ve lived in this house sir for over 8 years at this point and never once was i Late for my rent because I was on EIA and they paid it directly all those years, so I call my worker as I was still getting my monthly check minus the rent they paid directly ….. up till I pretty much phoned them and called them out on it and they said they would call me back, so all off a sudden my new financial worker was barb sage and she said cfs told them I had a warrant and they cut me off but didn’t have the exact month, but noone contacted me, that for some reason all my file got mixed up and they had to figure out and back up their data to get my right file. So I fought against mb housing in the end I lost cas they saying I didn’t pay my rent from august * to august * how convenient, so after this happened I had a very crazy home invasion a big native huge, broke into my house around 4am woke me up with a knife and had rope tied me to a chair poured gas all over me and lite a match in front of my face one by one asking what I’m going to say or not say to rcmp and said Horrbike things tried to rape me after untying me and assaulting me but I grabbed my house phone and dialed * I was so traumatized I don’t even remember police coming in, they took me to the station where u made mystatemrnt and took my clothes with gas all over them but guess what no investigation was done on it.
After losing my home with mb housing they gave me a date to move out by which I had a truck was moving out the day before after doing a load at 230pm came back to the locks changed and no one would answer my call, the next day I went back and they already had a huge garbage bin there and were throwing my daughters dresser my king size bed her bed all my belongings I didn’t take yet then called the police on me for trying to take things out of the bin, my parents had to put an alarm system on my place cas housing wouldn’t move me * grand they tore the cameras out and the alarm system and my parents had to pay the alarm company all that money back as it was rented for my safety. Also my parents were willing to pay the outstanding balance I supposedly owed so I could stay and cfs even this one time tried to talk to housing as I was about to get my daughter back and they wouldn’t allow it!!! With no reasoning so I didn’t have a home so prolonged my daughter returning.
Numerous things would happen as time went on. cops would drive by me, call me a liar and a meth head and every time I was arrested I’d always get treated so badly and calcut was always the one to be charging me!
After talking to a few people i was told by * people April Milne Naomi alqhuist and laurissa poets and Joey Werbowski that calcut didn’t press charges for one or two things each of these people did if they gave him something on me against me, at the time they all did because they thought of themselves but afterwards came to me. They will write full statement on this,
My life has never been the same since that day in July at rod sages house and I could see what was going on, this is honestly not a coincidence all Of these events and when I had pending charges that started august * to December * nothing after that sir I did my time and still to this day no charges since with everything done program wise and never screwed up once, but sure made out to be a horrible person and criminal during that time, calcut saying to me numerous times NOT A RELIABLE WITNESS to anything I’m just a piece of shit criminal. My life was made impossible I lost my daughter, my home, I lost myself,
I can’t find a job here in Brandon I get the run around with eia it’s like no one will help me in Brandon, I had someone professional tell me Tammy you need to go public with this get a lawyer, but honestly what will that do? My family turned on me cas cfs told them lies, calcut told them my daughter wasn’t safe with me, I honestly do many times just wanted to give up cas sitting at home not welcome at my family Christmas after doing Santa for 14 years and told they don’t trust me in their house and why would the police lie about me, I have no one. My son is 21 years old cfs convinced him that he can live by himself at 15 years old. They paid for him to have his own apartment and to turn on me. He admits now, he made me sign my rights over as a mom when he was * cas I’m a horrible mom and a criminal.
Sir. I spent 2 months recently in wpg and everyone from eia to the police to even walking around in the public i was treated so much better like I was a normal person needing help, I can’t even bank in Brandon or feel ok to walk around , I am so insecure and literally traumatized by what bps and housing and even eia has done to me, who would believe me at that moment of all this going on ? I was still dealing with charges and stuff. I would have just been a liar
Christine was such a good person and honestly she didn’t deserve to overdose, but honestly why would the previous attorney general who was only placed one year as attorney general put that case away with a lock and key?
Would I be treated like this if I wasn’t there that day??? How do I live on from this, I lost everything, to the point if somehow something ended up happening to me, they decided to traumatize me and take away what meant the most to me…. My kids, my family, my home, my life,
I want to be able to walk around Brandon with my daughter without worrying what people think Of me but I can’t, I am still terrified about how this could ruin my life forever!
How do I move on? I have to start from the bottom and can’t even get into housing. I have no beds, I had a home for 9 years at the end with everything in my home to the homeless and not even family to turn to. Please as you look over everything and the time of everything, no one will ever understand my hurt and how I feel, but how do I try to make everything better when everything was taken from me and honestly it should not of been, The more I look back of all the things that have happened, i haven’t spoken to anyone about this I’m too scared too, but I know this all couldn’t be coincidental especially even my criminal record I wasn’t a criminal before then and I haven’t reoffended or even breached once during serving my time. My P.O said I’m one of maybe one or two others in all of the Brandon office clients that have done this good!
I am so mentally traumatized and have ptsd from everything.
What can i do about this, if i was a daughter or someone close would all these things that happened to me be just a coincidence to you or would you be like my father and say Tammy nothing and noone is too big to make things right when u tell the truth and the public bodies that voted him in as city manager, they deserve to know what really happened?
Tammy, I'm really sorry to hear about all the difficult experiences you've been through. It seems like a complex case with multiple incidents involving police misconduct, harassment, and potential corruption.
