Read your NHFP story on "Keene Radio Host Jailed over Couch" by Michael Hampton... It mentions housing inspector Carl Patten visited Freeman...

Patten has had other run-ins with independent-minded citizens that culminated with his recent firing... Of interest to you is the lastest Patten conflict with Vietnam War vet Rollin Pardo(sic)...Over an unregistered vehicle in his yard which is off of Mytle Street Keene...A conflict arose and Patten threaten Pardo and Pardo did the same, threatening to use a snowshovel...Pardo called the Governor's office...

But also of interest is that last year, Pardo had some chickens, including a rooster...Someone complained and the police showed up...Rather than wait for animal control, the officer sought out the offending bird, hiding under one of Rolli's cars...He pulled out his pistol and shot it...Never mind that he could have pierced the gas can or sent a bullet into a nieghbor's (including Rep. Chris Robert's) House...Had the Sentinel played his up, this would have hit the AP wires... Pardo was paid by the city $5 for his rooster... Would make a wonderful frontpage account in the NH Free Press.
