What happens when a Las Vegas Nevada Parole and Probation Officer goes bad? You report him. That is what I (Harold Krieg) am doing. I am exercising my rights under the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution – Freedom of Speech, by whistle-blowing on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Las Vegas, Nevada Parole and Probation Officer Michael VanDyke. Officer Michael VanDyke’s office address is Nevada Department of Public Safety Division of Parole & Probation 215 East Bonanza Road, Las Vegas, Nevada89101. Officer VanDyke’s office phone number is 702-486-4000.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

You have to realize that Officer VanDyke did what I say below, because he saw that Hispanic Catholic Steven Crain was writing a book about all the injustice that he (Steven) has had and continues to endure over nearly 15 years, and that his (VanDyke) name and other Nevada and Las Vegas, and Clark County government, police and other officials were going to named in Steven’s book in a negative way. And Officer Michael VanDyke thought one way to prevent Steven from continuing to write this book, would be to arrest Steven. Certainly, by arresting Steven Crain, on September 4, 2014, Nevada Parole and Probation Officer Michael VanDyke violated Steven Crain’s Constitutional rights under the 1st Amendment – Freedom of speech. See Clark County District Court Case 00C166673.

Case 00C166673 is a case, that stems from, actually innocent, Steven Crain being falsely charged, wrongfully prosecuted for a crime (alleged attempted lewdness with a minor). Regina Hyman filed the charges against Steven Crain was because Steven Crain refused to baby sit for Regina Hyman’s daughters for free. Regina Hyman even admitted that she has a history of making similar accusations against other men (both in Nevada and California) if men don’t give her things for free, and/or do things for free for her. In fact Prosecutors (Clark County District Attorney and the Nevada Attorney General) gave Regina Hyman immunity from her (Regina) multitude of drug charges so that Regina and her minor age daughter LaGina would provide perjured testimony against Steven. Truth be told LaGina had vaginitis and there was no evidence proving Steven committed any crime, just hearsay.

According to LaGina Hyman’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lagina.hyman.3/about) LaGina Hyman lists her address as 1032 Eisenhower Circle, Apt. #2, Junction City, Kansas66441. LaGina Hyman lists her phone numbers 713-885-2922 and 785-579-4645. In Junction City/Geary County, Kansas, LaGina Hyman was arrested and charged with aggravated domestic assault and battery in October of 2012.

Prior to Officer Michael VanDyke being assigned to be the Parole and Probation Officer to my best friend (Steven Crain), Steven Crain had several other Las Vegas, Nevada Parole and Probation Officers who, for years, did not make it an issue that Steven Crain did not go to counseling, nor did they make it an issue that he could not afford to pay the monthly probation fees (since Steven was rarely able to get a job, because of his wrongfully coerced/pressured felon conviction – Alford Plea). When Steven was able to pay the fees, he did. Yet, in order to make a name for himself, and for other selfish and bad reasons, Officer VanDyke had Steven Crain arrested on September 4, 2014.

Regarding counseling – Officer VanDyke ordered Steven Crain to call up counselors, from a list of 9, and go there. The problem is that these counselors, all financially contracted with the State of Nevada Parole and Probation office, have a multi step program and in order to advance from Step 1 to Step 2, you must admit to the crime, even though you are actually innocent. This is a violation of the 5th of the United States Constitution. If you do not admit to the crime, despite the fact you are actually innocent, you are considered to be uncooperative/non-compliant. This policy is practiced by RedRock Psychological Health as well as John Pacult, as well as Alyson Shainker. To anyone who is reading this, would you admit to a crime you did not commit. RedRock Psychological Health’s office is located at 6402 South McLeod, Suite 5, Las Vegas, Nevada, and their phone number is 702-222-3275

Regarding – probation fees – If you are unable to pay, because of lack of finances, you can write to the Nevada Parole Board and asked to have the fees waived. See Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 213.1076(2).

On the morning of May 6, 2014, Steven Crain went to the Las Vegas branch of the Nevada Parole and Probation to see his current Parole Officer Michael VanDyke, for his monthly appointment. My best friend Steven Crain was told by Officer VanDyke to write a letter to obtain a meeting with the Nevada Parole Board in order to not have to go through counseling won’t have to take any more polygraph tests, be released from the provision of lifetime supervision, and to waive fees. Officer Van Dyke instructed Steven to address it to Officer Michael VanDyke, and that Officer VanDyke said he (VanDyke) would then forward the letter to the Nevada Parole Board. None of the 6 letters were ever forwarded to the Parole Board, instead Officer VanDyke kept crossing out parts of the letters and having Steven re-type them. Officer VanDyke figured Steven would get tired of re-typing the letters, then going back to give Officer VanDyke the revised letter, that Steven would just give up. People who know Steven know he doesn’t give up, especially when injustice is being done to him. See the attached Letters. In fact, after Steven gave Officer VanDyke the last letter, Officer VanDyke told Steven the he (VanDyke) would not give the Parole Board the letter, since it, in VanDyke’s mind, would be a waste of the Parole Board’s time.

Also on May 6, 2014, Officer VanDyke told Steven that in order to get off lifetime supervision, Steven has to apply via the Nevada Parole Board, not the Courts, since Nevada Parole and Probation does not have to listen to the Courts, since the Courts have no authority/jurisdiction, and that in Officer VanDyke’s mind/opinion Nevada Parole and Probation is more powerful than any Courts. Officer VanDyke’s statement is a clear contradiction to NRS 176.0931(3).

Nevada Parole Officer Michael VanDyke even went as far as to tell RedRockPsychologicalCenter therapist Alyson Shainker to lie and say that Steven Crain said he (Steven had threatened to physically go after the alleged victim (LaGina) and her mother (Regina). Anyone who knows Steven knows he is not the type who would go after someone, in the way Ms. Shainker said. Steven Crain was writing a book, and both Regina and LaGina’s names were mentioned, as were specific people from the Clark County District Attorney’s office, Nevada Attorney General’s office, Clark County Judges, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Detectives, John Pacult, Diane Williams, Nevada Parole and Probation (including but not limited to Officer Michael VanDyke) etc. Ms. Shainker perjured statements both to Officer VanDyke and the Court are a violation of NRS 199.130. Office Michael VanDyke knew there was no strong criminal case against Steven and that is why he (VanDyke) got Ms. Shainker to lie by telling her (Shainker) that if she (Shainker) doesn’t say that Steven Crain told her (Shainker) that he (Steven) was going to physically go after (Regina and LaGina) Nevada Parole and Probation and the Prosecutors would have no case against Steven Crain.

When Steven Crain went to his monthly appointment, on the morning of September 4, 2014, to see Officer Michael VanDyke at the Las Vegas branch of the Nevada Parole and Probation, Steven was arrested for violating his lifetime supervision conditions (not paying fees and not going to counseling). Both of which is what Steven Crain listed in his May 6, 2014, May 19, 2014, and May 29, 2014 letters, that had Officer VanDyke did what he promised to do, Steven would no longer have to do that. See Las Vegas Regional Justice Court Case No. 14F11754X.

At the Justice Court Case Hearing on September 22, 2014, Office Michael VanDyke committed perjury (NRS 199.145), when VanDyke said he only saw the last letter, Steven wrote. Officer VanDyke’s statement is a lie, since there are copies of the letters, showing the x-ing out of various parts of the letters, that Officer VanDyke made. Officer VanDyke also committed perjury when in court he (VanDyke) said that Steven’s Petition for Habeas Corpus case was closed. It was not. See United States District Court – District of Nevada Case No. 2:14-cv-01056-GMN-NJK and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Case No. 14-72940.

Case No. 14F11754X has been transferred to Clark County District Court (Case No. C-14-301073-1. Clark County District Court Judge James Bixler has been assigned to preside. Steven’s attorney is Steven Altig. Mr. Altig’s address is 601 South 7th Street, Las Vegas, Nevada89101, and his phone number is 702-474-7827.

Even though Steven Crain and his attorney invoked the 60 day rule, Steven’s jury trial starts on January 5, 2015. Officer Michael VanDyke’s lies, vendetta, and retaliatory actions, and perjury have destroyed Steven’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years plans with his 20 year old daughter. And since Steven had just started a new job in June 2014, Officer VanDyke retaliation (18 USC 1513) against Steven has caused Steven to lose his (Steven) job, which Steven loved and worked hard at. Do you know how hard it is to get a job when, even though you are actually innocent and waiting for your Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus to be granted, you have to check the “yes” box when asked are you are felon.

This is the second time Nevada Parole and Probation have arrested Steven. The first was in 2006, when, even though Steven had passed 3 polygraph tests (proving Steven did not do what they arrested him for in the year 2000), the Nevada Parole and Probation appointed psych counselors (John Pacult and Diane Williams) said Steven was being non-compliant because Steven would not admit to a crime he did not commit. Steven’s attorney then was Steven Wolfson (current Clark County District Attorney). That 2006 case was dismissed since then private attorney Steven Wolfson argued that it is not a crime for Steven to not want to admit to a crime he (Steven) did not commit.

Here it is over 8 years later and Nevada Parole and Probation and the Psychology counselors (paid by Nevada Parole and Probation) are doing the same thing again to my best friend Steven Crain.

It pains me and Steven’s 20 year old daughter that Steven is currently incarcerated in ClarkCountyDetentionCenter and will be until the end of his trial, and has been since September 4, 2014, all because of the lies, vendetta, vindictiveness, retaliation of Nevada Parole and Probation Officer Michael VanDyke against Steven Crain.

Officer VanDyke is also obstructing justice, against Steven Crain, since Proper Person Steven Crain has a pending Habeas Corpus case, and because of Officer VanDyke having Steven incarcerated, Steven is unable to file updated informational documents, nor is Steven able to contact attorneys to represent him, in his Habeas Corpus case.

One has to wonder how many others, that are on parole and probation, and assigned to Officer Michael VanDyke, have been wronged by Officer VanDyke.

If you are bothered about Officer Michael VanDyke’s wrong-doings then contact Lieutenant Leslie “Jack” Peeler, Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Professional Responsibility, jpeeler@dps.state.nv.us, Work: 775-687-8389, Cell: 775-720-1629

The more people know about what they could unjusticely experience, the less that these injustices will happen.

In the movie “Network” a reporter told everyone to stick their heads out a window and yell, “I’m not going to take this anymore.” I want each of you readers to do the same. Also contact the Nevada State Senators and Assemblypersons, in your district, and tell them the same.
