Help Myers get back on feet after wrongful arrest

To the editor:
This letter is in reference to the “great meth lab bust” at the former sugar factory and the wrongful arrest of Jeremy Myers. I didn’t take time to write this in the beginning, and I should have.

I have known Jeremy Myers for a number of years. In his excavating business, he has worked for me and the company I work for. I have referred him to others on many projects. His work is professional. His honesty is grand. It broke my heart to learn he was arrested for a crime I knew he was above ever committing. He has far too much integrity to be involved with drugs.

Jeremy employed himself operating a backhoe. His business was young but growing. He was in the midst of expansion to better serve his customers. Then his home was invaded by police, beginning this nightmare. His business has suffered because of this bad publicity. Jeremy has had to sell his equipment to fund his plea for innocence. I read now on the front page of the Nov. 6 newspaper that there is no evidence against him. Imagine that.

If you know Jeremy, show your support. Recommend his service, his employment. If you need an excellent backhoe operator, Jeremy is your man. Since he’s lost his home, you’ll have to contact him through his father, Jim Myers, at [number omitted for security reasons.]

(If you would like to get in touch with Jeremy please give me your contact information and I will make sure he gets it. ~Sarah)
