Landscaper harassed by 5 White University Heights cops at home of journalist and community activist Kathy Wray Coleman, the same 5 cops tried to gun Coleman down a week earlier per the directive of mentally unhinged Cuyahoga County Judge John O'Donnell.... O'Donnell stalked Coleman for 12 years using a civil case with no plaintiff (Cuyahoga County Case Number CV03505359) and tried to steal her $140,000 home for JPMorgan Chase Bank under a fake name for $36,000 without it suing her, and allegedly also for a Plain Dealer Newspaper reporter too....Coleman said O'Donnell is getting more aggressive and needs help for mental illness.... The Economic Crimes Unit has advised Coleman to file a police report against O'Donnell calling his actions "public corruption"....

Harper says that she believes they are trying to kill Coleman....By Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's leader in Black digital news
