Lane von Herzen: Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting Alleging Purchase of Weapon

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting Alleging Purchase of Weapon

OIG Hotline, I just received this email from an unknown sender, falsely alleging that "Ellen Canterbury,"whose purchase confirmation was forwarded to lanemacwilliams@gmail.com, has purchased a weapon.

Please be apprised that I am not accessing ellen.canterbury@gmail.com. Please be informed that I have purchased no weapon that corresponds to this order in any way, shape or form. A third party is apparently engaging in online identity impersonation in ordering a weapon about which I know nothing, presumably with the intention of staging an unjustified law enforcement raid at my property.

I can only say that the FBI and its affiliates need to halt their online identity impersonation at this time. The agencies involved in knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting are perpetrating indefensible crimes in their wake.

The worthiness of the FBI must be assessed from a larger perspective, certainly, as Americans grapple with what it means to have afforded so much power to a federal law enforcement entity that has abandoned its fealty to the truth.

I will be preparing an affidavit regarding this matter later today.

Most sincerely,
