Complaint Review: G & S Mountain Recyclers

I am not sure if I can prove anything that I am about to write, but here goes.
My dealings with G & S started back in July (can't remember for sure of date) when the company had their annual "electronics recycling event" in Steamboat springs, colorado. Prior to the event coming to town, I had an ad in the local newspapers asking for broken electronic items, and someone from yampa valley recycles contacted me about this annual event. I was told I could more than likely have broken items that people bring to this event for recycling purposes. To make a long story short, I showed up, asked a few folks for broken items, and was personally assaulted by employees and management of G & S mountain recyclers. I was completely passive in my actions, but was held down nearly asphyxiated, and very aruptly let go just before the police arrived. There were no other witnesses with the exception of employees of G & S, and they said I started fighting them, so I was taken to jail. I had enough money on me to pay the bond (I think they have a $300 dollar minimum bond), got out, had to walk back there to retrieve my vehicle.

A lady (who also saw everything that happened) was there and said I could retrieve my vehicle. I barely got my notebook back, (it fell when I was forced to the ground earlier that day by G & S mountain recyclers employees) which was there at her table under some other papers.

I also talked to someone affiliated with the non profit group Yampa Valley Recycles, based in Steamboat springs, Colorado. He admitted to assisting in restraining me but did not really know what was going on. I belive a man named Gary Cruson may have been the one that initially wanted to restrain me because I was "talking to his customers". Please note this recycling event was taking place in a public parking lot. I belive also that most of the G & S employees there that day were all in the same family, all Cruson's. The husband Gary, his wife, and two son's.

Like I said, I can't prove anything, but, my hope is others may read this and maybe someone out there has had a similar run in with G & S, or Gary Cruson.
All I was doing was asking for broken items because I like working on electronics, and I also at the time was repairing electronic items as a side job. At the time I had a good full time job though. When this happened to me, I had enough money in my wallet to offer for broken items, I was not trying to scam any one, I was willing to buy the items what ever, TV's, computers, etc.

G & S recyclers is based out of Longmont, Colorado, but they hold these "recycle events" all over Northern colorado. In the case of Steamboat springs, they affiliated themselves with the non-profit Yampa valley recycles, and I feel that is a little deceptive as well. G & S recyclers is a for profit organization, a corporation actually. I belive Gary is the CEO but being a small corporation, I guess Gary goes on these recycle events himself, takes his family with him.

Anyway, I just felt non-violent actions should have been met with non-violent actions, but then I have some odd ideas though.

I pled guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct in connection with this complaint because I found it necessary to relocate elsewhere right away, due to losing my housing because of building code violations. If anyone has a question about THAT, just ask Pat Mosbey, building inspector for Moffat County.
