Procurando Um Sasquatch, Não Cuidando De Maconha, Diz Caçador

He ventured into the
wilds of north Durham looking for Sasquatch, but a Toronto man says he
was instead confronted by an angry police officer who accused him of
being a dope grower.

In a complaint filed
with Durham police, Tim Marczenko claims he was detained, called a liar
and accused of committing crimes he had no part in.

Durham police have
reviewed the complaint and, while admitting Mr. Marczenko’s survival
knife was seized in error, found no misconduct on the part of the
officer. Mr. Marczenko has appealed that finding to a police oversight
agency.

“I was shocked and
insulted by the way they handled my complaint,” he said. “My rights were
violated.

“I feel an apology
needs to come from the officer and the department for not taking this
seriously.”

Mr. Marczenko’s brush
with the law came last August when he ventured into the bush in Brock
Township. A member of Ontario Wildlife Field Research
— a group that investigates the presence of creatures including Bigfoot
and large cats — he said he went to check on tracks found in the bush
near Concession 2 and Sideroad 17.

Mr. Marczenko said
that when he emerged from the bush and got back into his rental car, he
found his way blocked by a Durham police cruiser. He said that, when he
explained his reason for being in the area, he was ridiculed by
Constable Robert Aukema, the officer dispatched to check out a report of
suspicious activity in the area.

Mr. Marczenko said
Const. Aukema dismissed his story as “bulls--t” and demanded to know if
he had an accomplice with him. The officer seized a survival knife in
Mr. Marczenko’s car and threatened him with legal repercussions, the
complaint says.

The officer told Mr.
Marczenko he’d heard the same Bigfoot story from people arrested for
drug crimes in the area, the complaint says. Mr. Marczenko said he was
handcuffed and detained in the back of a police vehicle for more than an
hour despite his pleas of innocence.

“He threatened me many
times, saying he was going to tow my car or charge me with trespassing
or concealing a weapon,” Mr. Marczenko said. He said that when the
officer found the knife in the rental car, “He said I was lucky I didn’t
get a gun in my face.”

Mr. Marczenko was
eventually released, but not before being given a provincial offences
ticket for trespassing and, he said, a warning to stay away from the
area. He said he paid the fine, but now regrets doing so.

“I want the
(trespassing) charge dropped,” he said. “I also want to be reimbursed
for the trespassing fine.”

Mr. Marczenko, who
insists he has no involvement with drugs or marijuana trafficking, says
he was unfairly profiled simply because of his presence in the area that
day. He feels his detention was unlawful, and that his legitimate
excuse for being in the area was summarily dismissed.

“I felt helpless,
alone, attacked,” Mr. Marczenko said.

“The officer made up
his mind that I was guilty before even pulling me over.”

Mr. Marczenko’s
complaint was investigated by officers with Durham’s professional
standards unit, who interviewed Const. Aukema as well as property owners
who called police on the day of the incident. The investigation found
that, while the officer erred in seizing Mr. Marczenko’s knife — he’s
been compensated for the item — there was no misconduct on Const.
Aukema’s part.

“The involved
officer’s conduct . . . did not amount to discreditable conduct and I
therefore find the complainant’s allegations with respect to these
issues as unsubstantiated,” Inspector George Dmytruk wrote in a final
report.

“Constable Aukema did
detain Mr. Marczenko, however, the detention was required to conduct a
complete and thorough criminal investigation,” the report says.

Among the information
relied upon by professional standards was a statement by Const. Aukema,
who said he is familiar with the area as a location where marijuana is
grown. The officer said that weeks before his encounter with Mr.
Marczenko he questioned three young men found in the area who claimed
they were there “in search of Bigfoot.”

“Through investigation
it was found these males were actually planting marijuana,” Const.
Aukema said in his statement.

The officer said he
was suspicious of the “exceptionally flustered” Mr. Marczenko and that
he noticed vegetation resembling marijuana leaves in the rental car
(there’s no evidence any pot was found in the car).

“I had a reasonable
suspicion that Marczenko was in the area for a nefarious purpose, more
specifically the purpose of tending to an outdoor marijuana grow,”
Const. Aukema said.

The officer did not
specifically address Mr. Marczenko’s claim that he could have had a “gun
in his face,” but said he told him “trying to conceal a knife from a
police officer who is actively approaching his vehicle was a horrible
decision.”

Mr. Marczenko has
appealed the decision of Durham investigators to the Office of the
Independent Police Review Director, which investigates complaints about
police conduct.

“I have reason to
believe that others in the department are protecting the officer
involved,” he said. “I tried on more than one occasion to bring
attention to the issue but I felt it was never taken seriously or dealt
with professionally.”

Durham police
spokesman Dave Selby said the service won’t comment further on the
complaint while the OIPRD appeal is ongoing.
