SECTION 5 TITLE 5.3 EIGHT WEEKS OF STALKING BY RICK NEWMANN’S GIRLFRIEND

 

“The Drama Began The First Day of My Lease. Newmann and His Girlfriend Sarah Evidently Don’t Believe They Can Be Told No or Ignored.”

 

From December 1, 2024, to January 30, 2025, I was subjected to a continuous pattern of harassment and stalking by Sarah, the girlfriend of Property Manager Rick Newmann. Sarah obtained my personal phone number without my consent from documents stored in Rick Newmann’s residence, which also functioned as the rental office. This invasion of privacy marked the beginning of months of unwanted contact, including repeated phone calls, text messages, and in-person confrontations of Sarah’s inebriated, unannounced visits to my door.

She was growing in anger and boldness by the day because I wouldn’t respond to her. I was told by the resident that helped move me into the apartment that Sarah often becomes inebriated to the point of running about the property in her underwear, screaming and beating on residents doors and then refusing to leave their houses after they open the door. On top of what I had observed and what management themselves said about Sarah—in front her (irrespective of the misogyny behind it) I didn’t want a part of it. I’ve very frail physically, alone in this town that’s so secluded there’s no form of public transportation and circulars don’t get close enough to public transportation to go up to the twin cities where I know people and I cannot get healthcare in the county due to bold racial resistance to my being in the town (black). I wasn’t going to have locals in my home and get stuck in a situation I cannot get out of. So, I simply ignored the uninvited intrusions which is my right as a tenant.

At about week three, Sarah took to congregating outside my apartment door with a male neighbor from across the hall, leaving behind drug paraphernalia and behaving in an intoxicated and aggressive manner. I didn’t see her drop it but it’s always in the same spot she stands in after she leaves. During these instances, she would make disparaging comments, threaten my tenancy, and create loud disturbances, which included kicking or throwing objects at my door before running back to the rental office.

Her actions caused me significant distress and fear for my safety. On multiple occasions, I felt effectively trapped inside my own apartment for hours at a time because she’s outside the door, as I could not risk encountering her in her agitated state.

This fear was exacerbated by Sarah's access to property keys, raising concerns about unauthorized entry into my unit. My anxiety heightened to the point where I routinely double-checked my door's chain lock, concerned that she or her boyfriend, Property Manager Rick Newmann, might enter unannounced, potentially to harm me physically or sexually.

That constant monitoring and lingering at the door and on the phone didn’t work so Sarah’s harassment escalated to noise disturbances in the middle of the night. My unit is the only unit above the laundry room—Sarah and Newmann have access to the apartment that is also under my unit. I snore. They can here that. For a week ½ -2 weeks; just when I would fall asleep there would be a loud bang from the slamming of laundry machine doors, machines and pipes (not normal use) jolting me out of my sleep. Wreaking havoc on my Stage II hypertension, heart palpitations and then that would trigger muscle tremors and Chiari Malformation related headaches with nausea—I wasn’t getting any sleep, for week, a theme in these apartments I’ve since learned. My health cannot contend with that. I have to sleep and recharge or my body starts giving out on me rapidly.

I didn’t know who it was, I only knew what it was doing to me and that the machines would be free all day. It wasn’t until I slip into deep sleep that the noise would come and that felt punitive. Often it was between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. Despite the property's Residential Lease Agreement noise ordinance, which prohibited such behavior after hours.

Anthony Anderson’s phone was disconnected (according to rick), I had never met or spoken to the owner Don Klyberg and no phone number on him was supplied. There was only Rick Newmann, who ignored my multiple complaints completely.

I reached out to him several times, referencing the surveillance cameras he sold me on that were supposedly in place to ensure tenant safety, but my requests went unanswered.

My medical condition, Chiari malformation, makes sudden loud noises or adrenal stressors a severe health risk, leading to debilitating migraines and muscle spasms that can mimic mild grand mal seizures that can last days or weeks exhausting my system to the point of hospitalization. These symptoms can become so intense that they have, in the past, caused me to crack all four of my molars from the strain. Chiari is neurological, but also physical.

I don’t need anything special but I do need peace, order, quiet and cleanliness in my own space in order to remain independent of  hospital or nursing home. I have been through a lot more than most for nearly 2000 days; my body has been put through atrocities with no medical relief for the most part. I basically need to be left alone to heal and that's what I moved to the property to do as a means of protecting my health until better is available. Despite the lease provisions for noise control, Rick Newmann chose not to address these violations, causing further physical and emotional harm.
