Resident alleges fraud and retaliation, asks commission to investigate Lancaster police practices
Summary
During public comment Anita Bordelme made extensive allegations of theft, assault, trafficking ties and retaliation involving local officials and agencies and urged an investigation into Lancaster Police Station; the commission did not take action and no response was recorded at the meeting.
Anita Bordelme used her allotted public-comment time to make a lengthy, emotional appeal accusing unnamed and named actors of fraud, property theft and personal harm and requesting an investigation into Lancaster Police Station.
Bordelme said she and her children experienced repeated thefts of personal property after reporting crimes at city meetings; she described assaults, alleged ties to organized-crime figures, and ongoing legal and medical concerns affecting family members. She named people and entities during her remarks and said she has "states' evidence" she believes would support criminal charges. Bordelme also said she had been made homeless and referenced a January 2, 2025 car accident tied to the matters she described.
Commissioners did not take action during the meeting on Bordelme's request. City staff reminded the public that the commission cannot take action on nonagendized items during the meeting; Bordelme's remarks were recorded under public comment and no official response, inquiry assignment or referral was documented in the record.
Because these are allegations presented during public comment, the claims are reported here as the speaker described them; they were not adjudicated, corroborated, or refuted in the hearing record.
