RE: Formal Request For Investigation And Prosecution of FDA Agent John Armand; Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Willis and; Private Citizen Crystal Leslie.
To Whom It may Concern,
I am writing to your office in regards to two Federal Employees and a Private Citizen engaging in violations of federal law. I request that Criminal charges be brought against FDA Agent John Armand; Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, Rick Willis and; Private Citizen Crystal Leslie of Lake Charles, La. The federal violations include, but are not limited to, falsifying of evidence; presenting false evidence to a court; presenting known perjured testimony of a witness to a Court and; conspiring with a Private Citizen to obtain a guilty verdict of my husband, Gregory Caton, all the while Obstructing Justice; Intimidating Witnesses; Paying a Witness for False Testimony and; committing acts of Mail and Wire Fraud, all predicate acts of RICO. Moreover, Ms Leslie’s embezzlement and theft of Company records were covered up by these criminal Civil Rights violations and Conspiracy to violate Civil Rights of the Caton family.
Crystal Leslie was employed by Lumen Foods, my Company, in Lake Charles, La from 2002-2007. During this time Ms. Leslie was believed to be trustworthy and was allowed to take out loans from the Company, based on the agreement that she would post all her loans and pay them back. When I sold the company, in March, 2007, Ms Leslie owed, according to her postings, $12,325.35. In June, 2007 Ms. Leslie started making threatening phone calls to me and my husband. It became so bad I had to file a police report to get her to stop. I knew something was very wrong by the way Ms. Leslie was acting, so I decided to initiate an audit of the Company books in 2008. During the audit, I discovered that Ms. Leslie had not posted all the checks she had written to herself, nor had she posted all the Sam’s Club charges she had made. A total of $21,380.36 was missing, instead of the $12,325.35 she had posted. Ms Leslie had hidden the transactions from me.
In order to cover up her criminal actions, Ms Leslie initiated a smear campaign against my husband, alleging that he, Gregory Caton, who was on Supervised Release, was violating the terms of his Supervised Release, by making unapproved drugs. Ms Leslie realized that Mr. Caton was her ace in the hole due to his past history with the FDA and Mr. Armand. Ms Leslie contacted Mr. Armand of the FDA and Rick Willis of the Western District of Louisiana U.S. Attorney’s Office and began spreading her deceitful tales about my husband and turned over to Mr. Armand Company accounting records that she had stolen (See Attached Exhibit “A”). Based upon this smear campaign of Ms Leslie, a federal investigation was initiated and, subsequently, my husband, who had relocated to Ecuador, was hunted down by federal authorities and brought back to the United States for Supervised Release violations.
At the subsequent Supervised Release proceedings it came to the attention of Mr. Caton’s Attorney that Mr. Armand and Mr. Willis were submitting to the Court sworn statements that former employees Tabetha LeDoux and Zoe Farris had stated that they had personally observed Mr. Caton making unapproved drugs , while on Supervised Release, and would testify on behalf of the government at the Supervised Release hearing. Upon contacting Tabetha and Zoe I found that they had never made any such statements and that they would not do so in Court. Thus, the sworn statements submitted by Mr. Armand and Mr. Willis were falsified and perjured evidence. (See Attached Exhibit “B”).(Note: This was proven out later in Court.) Moreover, Mr. Willis, in conjunction with Mr. Armand, continued their prosecution of Mr. Caton, based upon their falsification and submission of perjured evidence and using of known perjured testimony of Ms Leslie, a known drug addict, who was attacking the Caton family in order to cover up her felonious activities (i.e. Embezzlement/Theft) of Company funds. Ms Leslie compounded her felonious activities by stealing the Lumen Company books and turning them over to Mr. Armand. Mr. Caton was found guilty of violating the terms of his Supervised Release and sentenced to two (2) years maximum in federal prison due to Crystal Leslie’s false testimony.
Numerous federal violations have been committed by the above named defendants. The witnesses, Tabetha LeDoux and Zoe Farris strongly denied making any statements that they observed Mr. Caton making any unapproved drugs and because of their telling the truth now live in fear for their safety and Tabetha and Zoe have made it known that they are too afraid to tell the truth for fear of reprisal. (See Attached Exhibit “C”). Intimidation of a witness is a serious federal crime.
An investigation into Ms Leslie’s past will reveal her true colors and her true intentions….of using the federal government to cover up (and escape prosecution) of her theft and embezzlement. Further investigation will find Mr. Armand and Mr. Willis’ overzealous prosecution tactics included falsification of evidence; presenting of false perjured evidence to a Court; presenting known perjured testimony of a witness to a Court and; conspiring with a private citizen to obtain a guilty verdict of Mr. Caton, all the while obstructing Justice , intimidating witnesses, paying a witness for False testimony and committing acts of mail and wire fraud, all predicate acts of RICO, 18 USC 1961,et seq.
One final thought worthy of discussion is the tactics used by the federal government to secure Mr. Caton for his Supervised Release hearing…..going all the way to Ecuador, kidnapping Mr. Caton and forcibly return him to the United States … all for a Supervise Release violation… reeks of governmental misconduct on behalf of Mr. Armand and Mr. Willis and they should be prosecuted for their criminal actions which are much, much more serious than Mr. Caton’s alleged crimes which merited the U.S. government travelling all the way to South America to prosecute. Please, also, note that a detective in the Lake Charles Sheriff’s Office, Ms Shannon Chesson , is conducting an State Investigation into Ms. Leslie, in regards to her theft/Embezzlement allegations and can be reached at(337)491-3762 or schesson@cpso.com.
I hereby formally request that you initiate an investigation of Mr. Armand, Mr. Willis and Ms Leslie and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.
Sincerely,
Dated: July___,2010.
