The co-worker deputy told my wife and I that home owners can change the locks on homes that they own as they please because they own the home and told us that we would be leaving our property peaceably or by arrest but we would be leaving one way or the other. Our home was then emptied. 95% of it's contents were removed/stolen.
A complaint was filed and I was told by the undersheriff that his deputy did nothing wrong and that I should sue him. The sheriff himself refused to do anything about our claim and forced my family into destitution.
The lockout was in violation of Michigan law MCL 600.2918 and the two co-workers working and conspiring with one another to deprive my family of our civil rights is a federal crime defined in Title 18 U.S.C. ยง 241 and 242.
These events happened September, 2010 and we have been unable to afford lawyers but filed suit ourselves to preserve the statute of limitations. Our local newspaper is related somehow to the current sheriff's administration and will not run our story and we have been unable to get any news coverage of these events elsewhere.
Last month, on the very last day, I entered the race for Sheriff in the same county to help bring my case and my family's story to light and help us to get legal representation.
This story is about members of my sheriff's department using the department for personal interests outside the law and the current sheriff's department administration doing nothing about it.
THANKS in advance!

In what capacity was the deputy fired by your sister? For what reason?
Did you substantially comply with YOUR end of the land contract? Is there anything in your land contract about remedies in the event of a breach of contract by the owner?
How much notice of the eviction were you given and were you informed of your right to a hearing?
I am impressed with your citations of Michigan and Federal Civil Rights law. Why haven't you contacted your State or local Federal Attorney General?
Suspect that we don't have all the pertinent information here.
