My name is Robert Hernandez McDonald Jr. and I and my family and I are asking for you help with legal bills for a trumped up criminal charge by the Mesa Police Department. I currently serve the Mesa citizenry as an Elected Maricopa County Precinct Committeman and Political Activist who advocates for various causes. My family and friends believe that the charge that I was arrested on, which is "False reporting to law enforcement agencies" (ARS 13-2907.01) to be a political attack on me for my recent political activities and activism here in Mesa and in Maricopa County, especially in regards to the recent Russell Pearce Recall and my candidacy as an Arizona State Senate Candidate in 2010. My lawyer believes that I may have upset a Pearce supporter in the Mesa Police Department by my activities in getting Olivia Cortes kicked off the ballot and assisting in the recall of Mr. Pearce. The criminal complaint is surrounding a motor vehicle accident that was a civil matter caused by an undocumented/illegal immigrant.
I was arrested at 400PM on December 09, 2012 and booked into jail for this charge. I was able to raise bond money from my parents of $500.00 to get me out of jail. It is unconscionable that a civil traffic accident would turn into a criminal case and that the victim in this matter being myself and my wife and children would cause so much harm.
Please help my family by donating any amount so that we can put up a proper fight for these trumped up criminal charges. We cannot allow politics to infiltrate our law enforcement and this is what has happened in this case. Help me stand up for the rights of our citizens to be from unlawful arrests and slipshod investigating.
