A follow-up story by the Intelligencer to our article on Keith Dietz Doylestown Police Corruption:
DOYLESTOWN, PA — Citizens are warned of the dangers to visiting Doylestown Borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Police officers and government officials have been involved in criminal activities.
Officer Keith Dietz of the Doylestown Police Department committed a multitude of crimes, civil rights violations and other illegal activities including:
A victim stated, “Officer Dietz came over to my car, opened the door and attacked me. He then handcuffed and tortured me.”
After reading the victim’s statement, Alicia Baatz (esquire) of the Public Defenders Office said to her colleague, “I bet if I read this to you, you would know what officer was involved.”
When it came to fighting police corruption in Doylestown Borough and Bucks County, attorney Lisa Williams said, “You are going to lose.” Not only won’t you get a fair trial, but the judge will sentence you to the maximum.
On September 17, 2013, Judge Clyde W. Waite found Officer Dietz had committed an illegal search and seizure; however, the judge failed to take corrective action.
Jennifer Lewchick, RN, is accused as a co-conspirator in the torture.
Also implicated in the cover-up are two Doylestown Police Sergeants. The police chief and the mayor have not yet responded to this article.
Individuals with any information about Officer Dietz, police brutality and corruption in Doylestown are asked to contact investigators.
