1 I am Charles Chuang and sworn under the penalty of perjury the affidavit below.
2 I have lived with Kay Kim Kay Kim since 1996. Kay Kim has lost her knee many years
ago. She has been handicapped and need a walking stick or wheel chair to move around.
She has never been violent or convicted of any criminal offence since I am with her.
3 In February 1999, we moved into a condominium unit at the Village At Eagle Creek
(VEC) condominiums. Since then we have been paying the association fees every month
and am entitled to all the rights accorded to the owners of the VEC. Kay Kim and I do not
like to be involved in the VEC affairs. We do not use the community hall, swimming
pool, tennis courts or exercise room. If the VEC leave us alone we will never bother
them.
4 When the VEC maintenance man told us to move out of the community, Kay Kim
complained to the VEC but nothing was done. Kay Kim suspected that someone is
stealing money from the VEC. The VEC is less than 10 years old in 1999. Kay Kim

noticed that the VEC is already changing the roofs in a few buildings. She wanted to
know if the contractor or the manufacturer is paying for the replacement. Chris Meloy
was the President of the VEC and worked as a prison warden at that time. Kay Kim
wanted to see the accounts and check if there is any misappropriation of VEC funds. At
that time the VEC has $500,000 in reserve funds. The Property Manager tried
unsuccessfully to get a restraining order to prevent her from going to the Office to check
the accounts.
5 When Kay Kim called Chris Meloy at 10 p.m. to inquire about the finances and discuss
other issues related to the VEC. He ordered a Sheriff Deputy from Marion County to his
home in Henderick County. He alleged that Kay Kim threatened on the phone to slit his
throat and he is fearful for his life. Sheriff Deputy came to my house at 2 a.m. and
arrested Kay Kim. This is Kay Kim first arrest but she could not be released on OR
because of the severity of the alleged charges. The Honorable Judge Baker ordered a
court appointed a psychiatrist to observe Kay Kim while she was in custody. The Court
record shows that there is no evidence of psychosis on Kay Kim. The witnesses and
arresting officer failed to show up in court on a few occasions. Judge Baker subsequently
6 In 2001 IMPD Sgt James Waters was offered free housing in the VEC in exchange for
working as the VEC security Officer. In 2003 the VEC Property Manager Sarah Wilson
was arrested and charged for embezzling $300,000 of the VEC funds. No one else was
charged in the embezzlement case. Kay Kim found it hard to believe that only one person
is involved in the case. In 2004 Sharon Overley became the new Property Manager. She
came to our yard and ordered us to remove the decorative stones we bought for the
garden. Sharon Overley also hadstones on her three units in the VEC. When the VEC
Page 2 of 7
FED1 Affidavit of Charles Chuang iSupp ofPlantiff’s MOT Summ&Default Judgment as Final 25JUN2009
ignored Kay Kim complaints about the Property Manager she wanted to check the VEC
accounts. In retaliation Sharon Overly alleged that Kay Kim is “crazy” and together with
James Waters got a sheriff deputy to come and arrest Kay Kim for “trespassing” on the
common property of the VEC. James Waters is familiar with the VEC byelaws and
knows that Kay Kim has not committed any offence but yet he got the Police to arrest her
so that she cannot check the accounts. Kay Kim was sent to the psychiatric hospital for
observations. The arresting officer told me that the charges will be dropped if the results
from the doctor is negative. The doctor’s report did not show that Kay Kim is insane or
violent. Both Sharon Overley and James Waters went to the Judge (outside court
sessions) and alleged that Kay Kim is crazy. As a result this case is still in court even
though the statue of limitation for the case has expired. In 2005 Sharon Overley was
fired for the misappropriation and mismanagement of VEC funds. She refused to turn
over the accounts and books to the new treasurer and the VEC threatened to report the
case to the Police. In 2008 James Waters moved into one of Sharon Overley’s unit and is
7 In 2006 Kay Kim was prevented to do her court filings in the City County Building.
There was no disorderly conduct but she was arrested for “trespassing” in a public
property. This shows repeated Sheriff Deputy’s intimidation and harassment. This case
is still in court even though the statue of limitation for the case has expired.
8 In 2007 my neighbors Linda L and Patricia L called James Waters when Kay Kim was
walking to the trash can with a knife in her hands. James Waters then instructed an IMPD
Police Officer and a wagon to arrest Kay Kim while she was in her common property.
She was again sent to the psychiatric hospital and given a blood and urine test for drug
abuse. The tests were administered against her wishes but were negative. This is the

thirdtime Kay Kim was arrested on her property without any probable cause. James
Waters used IMPD to intimidate and harass her. This case is still in court even though
9 In 2005 Kay Kim was ordered to be evaluated by Dr. Parker the Head of the psychiatric
Department in IUPUI. The Honorable Judge sent her for a second evaluation when the
initial report did not fit her intent. The Indiana Supreme Court then appointed a special
judge from Hamilton County to trial all three cases. Till today the cases has yet to be
disposed. Ironically the Special Judge ordered Kay Kim to go for a third evaluation with
10 Kay Kim suffered untold humiliations and even after three false arrests shedid not file
any law suit against anyone. Kay Kim has no choice but to suffer in silence because she
felt she has been singled out because of her race. She is physically handicapped. I feel
that if left alone to defend herself she will be let down by this court just like her first
lawsuit. How come she is the only one in the VEC to get arrested (four times) on her own
11 In 2008, Linda L and Patricia L have called the Police more than 20 times to try to get
Kay Kim arrested without success. They also called animal control to file false
complaints against my dogs. The Police made an anonymous complaint to the health
department claiming that “foul smell” was comingfrom my house. How come the Police
got involved in such domestic problems? At about 11 a.m. on October 12, 2008 James
Waters convened a meeting attended by Linda L, Patricia L, Charles Ritter, Mae Vera and
others at the City County Building. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways to
get rid of Kay Kim. At about 10 a.m. on November 6, 2008 Linda L held a meeting
Page 4 of 7
FED1 Affidavit of Charles Chuang iSupp ofPlantiff’s MOT Summ&Default Judgment as Final 25JUN2009
attended by Charles Ritter, Patricia L and Rhonda Heath to orchestrate a plan to set up
Kay Kim.
12 At about noon Rhonda Heath buzzed several times the door bell for Kay Kim. She did
not answer when Kay Kim asked through the intercom: “who is it?” When Kay Kim
came to the main door she realized that there was a stranger at the door. She opened the
door and asked the stranger why she buzzed her house? The stranger didn’t say a single
word and out of no where she suddenly forced the door open and pushed herself into Kay
Kim and entered the building against the wishes of Kay Kim. When the stranger was
already inside the building, Linda Handlon and Patricia Ladenthin came out and started
shouting at Kay Kim. Mae Vera was recording the entire incident from the second floor.
Charles Ritter was watching beside Mae Vera all the time.
13 About one hour later IMPD Wilkes arrived at the building. Kay Kim was at the car park
and was she saw Charles Ritter talking to Wilkes. Wilkes then followed Kay Kim into her
house and asked if she called the Police. He also asked if she is on any medications. Kay
Kim told him to leave her house unless he has a warrant. He replied that he does need a
warrant to come into the apartment. At that instant Linda Handlon opened her door and in
unison with Patricia Ladenthin and Rhonda Heath and shouted: “she hit Rhonda”. At that
instant Wilkes lifted Kay Kim in the air and threw her on the floor. He then put his knee
on her back and handcuffed her. Wilkes used of excessive force on Kay Kim who is
handicap with a petite body is totally uncalled for. No other police had to use force on
Kay Kim on all previous arrests. If Rhonda had been hit by Kay Kim why was there a
delay to call the police? If Charles Ritter was really sincere and not involved why didn’t
he call the police at the time the pushing was going on? Why did he call James Waters?
Who dispatched Wilkes and the Sheriff Wagon? Wilkes came to the building with the

sole intention to arrest Kay Kim even though he did not have a probable cause or warrant
at that time. Why didn’t he arrest Rhonda Heath when she admitted on the probable
causeaffidavit that she had criminally forced trespassing into a private property? Why
didn’t he take any evidence such as photos and DNA for alleged battery? Why didn’t he
14 Linda Handlon and Patricia Ladenthin were both inside their respective house at the time
the alleged altercation occurred and could not have witnessed the battery and resistance
to arrest as claimed and thereby perjured under oath in the probably cause affidavits they
signed.
15 During the entire existence of the VEC I believe that more than $1.5 millions had been
stolen from the VEC. A 2008 audit shows that there is only $32,000 left in the bank. We
are not interested to prosecute the people who had stolen the money.The VEC spend
relentless efforts to prevent anyone from exposing the loss, theft and other illegal
activities. The VEC used IMPD James Waters and his connections to harass and
intimidate anyone meddling. As for Kay Kim James Waters used his connections to arrest
and have her checked by the emergency mental hospital. James Waters entrapped Kay
Kim by using her neighbors Linda H and Patricia L and tried to make her move outof the
VEC. I am with Kay and even though they do not the things they do to harm Kay
directly on me I still feel her pain and suffer with her in everyway.
16 During the last 10 years Kay Kim has been constantly intimidated and non stop
harassments from the Police who acted illegally to conceal the corruptions in the VEC. I
have seen Kay Kim been discriminated so many times by the neighbors, the VEC and the
Police. She has suffered so much mental and physical anguish that I cannot standby and
