Scott Yoos Support Page: Motion to Dismiss

26 July 2013

Motion to Dismiss

Quick note to say that we were not able to see the speedy cessation of this terrible ordeal at Tuesday's hearing on the Motion to Dismiss. The motion was based on alleged discriminatory treatment regarding the OPD officers' treatment of Scott as someone who lives with disabilities.

There was a good crowd of supporters. Here are some pictures from the day, and we'll post another update for what is next step in the saga.

Donate

Donations to help Scott Yoos with legal defense costs can be made payable to:

"Scott Yoos LDF" and sent to the mailing address of the credit union where the legal defense fund is established.

Washington State Employees Credit Union
PO Box WSECU
Olympia, WA 98507

Donations can also be made in person at any Washington State Employee Credit Union, for example, the downtown Olympia branch is located at 330 Union Ave SE (Union and Adams).

One hundred percent of your donations will go directly towards Scott's legal defense.

More information

Yoos, wearing an orange reflective vest and bicycling home late on the evening of June 1, 2011 -- after his volunteer shift at the Capitol Theater -- was stopped by an officer of the Olympia Police Department as he was throwing paper towels into a city-owned dumpster adjacent to Twisters Donuts, 2302 Fourth Ave. He was originally cited for criminal trespass and obstructing justice, but one of the officers called to the scene filed a report 3-1/2 weeks after the incident alleging that Yoos had kicked him. This would constitute a felony, and the case, formerly being heard in the Olympia City Municipal Court, was bumped up to the Thurston County Superior Court.
