Jamie Renée Schultz
Schultz, a domestic-violence victim, walked into LSPD asking why her husband's case had stalled. She alleged Sgt. Miner treated her "like scum" and falsely told the Mayor she had declined to press charges.
- Sergeant Robert Miner
What the file shows
Schultz had previously been told that the prosecutor's office had received zero medical records on her DV case. When Commander Ron Brooks called the prosecutor's office, they confirmed they had received only two of the three sets and that no charges — not even misdemeanors — had been filed despite the case being open since at least 18-00010884.
Schultz's signed written statement (attached to the file) reads: "I Jamie Schultz did not decline to press charges. The Lake Stevens police department didn't do their job and lied to John the mayor and said I declined to press charges… Sgt. Rob Miner just admitted to never getting ahold of us, on record he was recorded and said we could, on record he knew the whole time. This is wrong. We are the victims!!! and we are being treated like scum from L.S.P.D."
Commander Brooks's running-sheet investigation consisted of asking the front-desk records specialist whether Miner had been rude. She said no. Brooks then made it the complainant's burden to obtain and re-deliver the missing third set of medical records to the prosecutor herself. When Schultz did not transmit the promised body-cam video of the front-counter interaction within four days, Brooks closed the file Unfounded.
Why this file matters
Hallmark of the LSPD DV pattern: a victim asks why her case isn't moving, the supervisor takes the accused officer's word and the records clerk's, and the file is closed as Unfounded on the absence of evidence the department itself refused to collect (the body-cam at its own front counter).
