Did Mayor Jim Ireton Make The Call, You Decide?

Starting from the beginning, several weeks ago I received a letter from the Comptroller's Office in Maryland challenging me by suggesting I have been renting Office space AND apartments in my Downtown property. The letter was quite alarming because I have not been renting office space OR apartments during the period in question. I contacted that individual where I stated my case and they said they had it on good authority that it was true. I responded by telling this person they had been lied to.

I later came to learn that Sheriff Mike Lewis and States Attorney Matt Maciarello had been investigating me ever since I announced my intent to run for Mayor. Sound familiar Folks??? Yeah, I have been through this many times in the past and clearly even with new the leadership, not much has changed in Salisbury, Maryland. That in itself is very unfortunate. You have to ask yourself WHY? Why was the Grandmother of the Foxwell Family STAGED to do her speech immediately after the Thomas Leggs trial? NO ONE else went to every hearing during that case in the Media. I heard it all and I wrote notes throughout the whole thing and there's only ONE individual who could stand in their way in the next elections.

Moving on, out of nowhere a few weeks ago I get a call in which I still stand firm on as being Mayor Jim Ireton. His call came in at 11:24 PM on a Saturday night. I'm not going to get into the condition but I will tell you that questions came up in that conversation about my platform and what I planned on doing as Mayor for the City. I refused to answer those questions over the phone but stated I would be more than happy to meet with Jim in person. I was then invited to his Office the next day. He stated he would pick up lunch at Panera Bread and meet me there at noon. You know the rest of the story.

I contacted Councilwoman Debbie Campbell because I wanted to know where Jim lived. I became very concerned because Jim seemed very depressed and after recently losing someone in our community I simply wanted to go by his home and make sure he was ok, since he had not returned any of my calls or text messages. Debbie suggested that it would be best to contact Chief Barbara Duncan and you know the rest of that part of the story.

In yesterday's press conference, Mayor Ireton expressed what I took as anger that Debbie Campbell and I had the Chief go to his home to check on him. He went on to say that three Council Members had already made up their minds on who was going to be the next Mayor, (me) and chastised them for their alleged position with me. I want YOU to recognize right here and now how Mayor Jim Ireton took the opportunity to tie those three to Joe Albero, (don't forget that throughout this article). The Chief called me and stated "no crime" had been committed and wanted me to give her permission to subpoena my phone records. I immediately thought, WHY? Why would I want to turn my phone records over when I had already been to the SPD and showed Officers the incoming call and Chief Duncan admitted yesterday that I had done so and that the Officers had confirmed it was Ireton's number. I told the Chief I wanted to contact my attorney and ask their advice. I did not return a call to Chief Duncan.

I have absolutely learned from the Chief this morning that she did in fact subpoena my phone records. Records in which I take EXTREMELY seriously. It is NOT her business NOR the Mayor's business who calls my telephone, NOR is it of the Daily Times, I think you can see why and I think you'll agree. However, as stated below today, the Daily Times even stated, "the editor's number showing up in Albero's phone records". Funny how after my phone records became available that Ireton would tie three Council Members into that Press Conference!

At the end of yesterday's press conference Chief Duncan said time and time again, no crime had been committed. So HOW did they get my phone records?

In today's Daily Times article they stated, and I quote,

Complicating the incident, Gaudette is the roommate of a Daily Times reporter who has since resigned citing her knowledge of the situation and failure to disclose the information to officials. A Daily Times editor was also drawn into the investigation when Gaudette made a prank call to him the same night, while disguising his number as that of Albero's. When the editor later saw the missed call he dialed the unfamiliar number, which because of the "spoofing" technology had appeared as Albero's.

This resulted in the editor's number showing up in Albero's phone records on the same night as the prank call.

According to police reports, the editor did not learn until talking to police that he had inadvertently called Albero.


Now I ask you, look closely at the image below. Look at the TIME in which BOTH calls came in.





How is it possible that what the Daily Times stated in today's article is possible. HOW can they allegedly spoof me and talk to me for 7 minutes and 38 seconds, then allegedly spoof Joe Carmean, (Editor of the Daily Times) at the exact same time??? How convenient, eh? Some investigation, especially when the SPD never contacted me about MY side of the story while they were investigating. How can the investigation be closed? How could Carmean have called me back AFTER they spoofed me and then called him and BOTH calls are for the exact same time?



Wouldn't it only be fair to ASK me everything that was stated in the CONVERSATION to decide if it was a political ploy, IF this was in fact an alleged spoof phone call? Where is Joe Albero's justice in all of this? The Chief has informed me that I am welcome to go to the Commissioner and file whatever I'd like and they would move forward from there. Hmmmmm.



The Daily Times article fails to mention that someone from the Daily Times that was involved lied to the Police, yet the Mayor wanted to point the finger at Council Members for causing so much of a problem. Isn't lying to Police in an investigation a criminal offense? The Mayor stated time and time again yesterday calling me out by name and stating I was a "Delaware Blogger". I will repeat again, I met with the Mayor at the Salisbury Festival some time ago BEFORE I mentioned to any of you my intent to run for Mayor. He said, you can't, your not a Maryland resident. I pulled out my wallet, pulled out my MARYLAND Driver's License and showed it to him. The Mayor continues to "defame" me with the intent to plant in people's minds I am not a Maryland resident or qualified to run for Mayor. The Mayor has stated on PAC 14 that a candidate running for Mayor isn't even a Maryland resident AFTER he has personally seen my Driver's License.



The Mayor went on yesterday suggesting that Joe Albero knew for a fact that it was a prank call and even to this day continues to state it was Jim Ireton who called me. Look Folks, not only am I an alleged victim of this event, the Police never interviewed me NOR did they give me access to the Police Report until YESTERDAY. Even with that being said, we got our hands on the Police report and were told after only a few minutes to give it back to them, (illegally) and told me I'd have to file a FOIA request to get it. Then we watched the Daily Times in front of Jim Ireton take pictures of every page so they didn't have to FOIA a copy, the very same people who created this whole thing to start with. Besides that, why should I, (as an alleged victim) be required to file a FOIA request on an investigation involving me?



Ireton went on in the Press Conference and I'll quote again from the Daily Times article today, "At the news conference, Ireton said he received a call from Gaudette on Wednesday night "expressing his sincere apology for what he caused and what he did and for any problem that it caused me as the mayor."



REALLY? The Mayor was feeling SORRY for the alleged person who allegedly made the alleged prank call, yet attacked me personally AND three Council Members? Now why would the Mayor give sympathy towards this person? As I stated yesterday, could it be that the Mayor made the call? Could it be that they used Joe Carmean's phone first, (look at the times of BOTH calls) hung up and then called me from his cell phone? Could it be convenient at this point and time to say what the Daily Times has said because they cannot deny a call came in from Joe Carmean's cell phone? Could it be they didn't think this thing out well enough after a night of partying?



I'd like to know, if you've followed this Blog long enough, recall how desperate the former Police Chief wanted to subpoena my phone records to get my sources. Other public figures were desperate to gain access to my sources as well. SOUND FAMILIAR? I was told by Chief Duncan NO CRIME had been committed and she needed my permission to get my records, yet they went ahead and got them anyway. Then all of a sudden the Mayor starts calling out three Council Members in a Press Conference whereas they had NOTHING to do with it. How did the Mayor know anything, unless perhaps he has seen my phone records?



Ladies and Gentlemen, be VERY afraid of what is going on right now. Be VERY afraid that this Mayor would feel SORRY for an alleged person who allegedly made the spoof call! Be VERY afraid that when and if you disagree with a Sheriff, a States Attorney, a Mayor and so on that the State will open investigations on you. That other investigations will pop up and you find yourself at the end of politically driven retaliation investigation/s.



IF I am arrested for something, anything, know that there are certain powers to be behind it. Know that they are doing everything they can to include three Council Members in that triangle. I have been in these battles before and walked away victorious. This is ALL about politics and the intent to defame.



Joe Albero can and will be the next Mayor of Salisbury, with your support. They know that Joe Albero will stand up and fight for ALL of us and speak the TRUTH, no matter the cost. Joe Albero is not a criminal. Joe Albero has never been out to cheat anyone.



This whole thing could have disappeared the very next day IF Jim Ireton would have returned my calls or text messages. Look, we've all done stupid things in our lifetime. If Jim had called me and said, Joe, I didn't make that call but I'm having it investigated. That would have ended it. Jim could have called and said, Joe, I screwed up and I'm sorry for the call. It would have dropped instantly. However, YOU really have to look at this whole thing, along with all the other things I'm mentioning and see it for what it really is. Why was Sarah Lake sitting in the Press Conference yesterday? I want you to know I walked right up to her and said, SHAME ON YOU for what you have done.



In the end they want to tie Debbie Campbell, Terry Cohen and Tim Spies purposely to Joe Albero in the hopes of bringing them down with me. Ladies & Gentlemen, we do deserve better than this. If you'll look at Court Records on Monday I have filed a lawsuit against Mayor Jim Ireton for defamation of character in the attempt to discredit me as a potential candidate. I told you yesterday I wasn't playing around.



While I have been defamed, do I take the high road and walk away from this lawsuit filed today? Hasn't the City of Salisbury been defamed enough?



I want Mayor Ireton to publicly state that he does recognize me as a qualified resident and candidate of Salisbury, Maryland. The ball is now in his court. If the Mayor will in fact publicly admit I am a resident I will reconsider my legal position.



I'd like to add the following. The other day Greg Bassett of the Daily Times laid out several standards he pledged to his readers they would follow. They NEVER got the other side, (from me). They NEVER mentioned me as a potential Mayoral candidate in any of their articles. They NEVER stated sbynews.com, just that I am a Blogger. When I read the article the other day and then this one, I came to the conclusion that the Daily Times truly believes their readers are just plain challenged. I'll add, stay tuned for next weeks announcement from the Court House.



You have to wonder why the local Main Stream Media only talk about Joe Albero when certain powers to be stage irate individuals willing to publicly attack me to sell papers and ads. Long Live Salisbury News!



Draw your own conclusion to this whole mess. I wouldn't be too quick to feel sorry for Mayor Jim Ireton. Ireton stated, "I will not be distracted by this. Why? And this is very very important: Because the truth is the truth," No Jim, YOU only have and know half the truth on this matter. I'd be more than happy to meet with the Mayor and discuss the entire matter, if he's willing to do so. Just remember Folks, Sarah Lake has been a close ally with the Mayor. Don't you question WHY they would do such a thing? It certainly isn't because the Daily Times wants to see Joe Albero as the next Mayor. Read between the lines. Talk about a massive scandal. Some are talking about impeachment.



The Daily Times added: Taking advantage of the media presence at the news conference, Ireton went on to accuse the council majority of holding up serious issues because of the upcoming election.



Please, do tell me in case I missed something. Isn't the "upcoming election" in April of NEXT YEAR?

  8. Attorney general's office is a good idea. I think the whole motivation behind this was just to get at your phone records. They (major and chief) needed some reason to do so and they came up with this plot. I think it backfired on them and they are trying to cover their butts now. Something does smell rotten in Salisbury.

  18. WTh is wrong with these people. These are suppose to be people we can trust. People voted for Ireton and expect him to act like an adult. I know he works with children (king of scary if you think about it) but he doesn't need to act like the ones he works with at the BOE. The DT is our local newpaper (cough cough) yet they print the lies that they do. How in the world can we trust any of these people when they want to play games like middle school brats. I trust NONE of them they have ALL lied.

  19. It is important to get the other side. I'm amazed at how if you hadn't put up this picture showing what time the daily times reporter actually called you we all might have just gone on believing the investigation was over. Like the other person said this stinks.

  21. People wonder why Salisbury gets the reputation that it has. The Mayor should have been professional and kept this quiet. He should have returned your call like you said. I heard Mrs. Mitchell going on about Salisburys bad reputation and then the mayor goes and pulls this stunt. Joe, I hope you get elected and make the right kind of changes for the better. I'm so sorry your going through all of this. Oh, the daily times should be shut down and the reporter should be arrested for lying to police.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Like I mentioned on the last article, I would not doubt if Sarah Lake is either getting a job with the city or is laying low for a month and will be rehired by the DT.

    They are trying very hard to make this go away so people will forget about it and then you will see troll, I mean Sarah start back to work again.

    I would not doubt it they are trying to get a subpoena of IP's from this website as well.

  38. What you are saying is that as the victim you can't have a copy of the report. Your phones records are now floating around all this offices. And no one called you to inform you of any conclusion to this case. If this is how they run an investigation I can only hope I am never a victim of a crime in Salisbury!

  45. anonymous 2:45, you better believe there's more to this. I'm leaving THAT in the hands of my attorneys. I told you guys the other day that a very powerful political attorney out of Baltimore called me and let me know he'd ba happy to take on my case pro bono. I can also tell you that OTHER people have now been questioned and I'm confident this attorney will represent us. YOUR elected officials are abusing their power, just as Ireton keeps claiming I am not a resident. Think about it, who will pay to represent him while he knowingly and willingly lies to the public, you do. These are amateur wanna be politicians who are running a multi million dollar business. Do you really want to cast your vote towards a man who will openly lie just to win an election because he can't win on his track record?

    Think about it. I do NOT want to go this route but the Mayor has to stop playing these games.

    To the rest of you nay sayers. Just because the Police Chief has closed this investigation, (without interviewing me or providing information) don't you think for a minute I believe ANYTHING that has been printed in the Daily Times. I got a 7:38 second phone call from Jim Ireton. I still to this day have NOT seen ANYTHING proving any different. If YOU want to wear tin hats and believe something YOU have never seen, (which is proof) then you go right ahead and believe it. Until I am given clear evidence of anything other than what I know to be true, (and so should you) then don't buy it.

    The Daily Times has covered up names, facts and no one has been arrested for impersonating a public official. It's illegal to impersonate a Police Officer, right? Well, who's Chief Duncan's boss? The Mayor is her boss, that's who.

    "How do I control the name that shows up on Caller ID?


    No caller ID spoofing company can control the name that is displayed on Caller ID. The reason for this is because it is controlled by the phone company of the person being called, and cannot be overridden"

  69. @3:18 I never cited any sources but I have been saying for days I have yet to come across a "spoofing" app that allows you to pick the NAME AND NUMBER that shows up. Maybe a text messaging app that will allow it but not an app that changed the caller ID and the phone number. And on the WMDT coverage they say and I quote " And there shows up his wifes number after the spoofing app is used" in refernce to the man explaining how the app works. But in the story you never see the phone screen and you never actually see anything that proves at all the app even exsits.

    And keep an eye out for that comptroller. He/she sounds like bad news also.

  81. Joe...you're coming up against the elected lackeys and their "good ol boy" backers. Keep fighting. They'll say and do anything in an attempt to discredit you, pressure you, and at the end, buy you off when you get elected.

    I've seen it myself, many, many times since moving to the Salisbury area nearly 30 years ago. Something has to change. Keep fighting the good fight Joe!

  82. sometimes I'm embarassed to live here. this is one of those times.

    The small mindedness of all this is just absurd.

    I would like to see anyone running for office make a commitment to only positive comments and actions.

  84. Joe, like many others I have not always agreed with you but I do check out SBYNEWS several times a day in order to keep up with the goingson in Salisbury and I wish you luck in your seeking office. I must be missing something here...either the contents of the call was very derogatory, etc or something but from what I have read this has gotten waaaaayyyy out of proportion and is not worthy of all this ink. Be a bigger person and ignore what has been deemed a "prank". There are many more problems with Salisbury than crap like this. Again Joe, just my 2 cents worth which is probably all that it is worth.

  85. the chief needs to resign, immediately

    the mayor needs to resign or be impeached, immediately

    the daily times should be closed down

    i'm sure the corrupt cops and mayor will make up some bogus reason for obtaining joe's phone records, in the name of investigation

    if i were you joe, i would let go of the reigns and let attorney's take over

    don't shut this down if our "mayor" tries to come clean

  88. Duncan needs to name the name of the spoofing service this person supposedly used because I have yet to find one that does what's been claimed.
    An example of spoofing would be a doctor who has his cell phone programmed to show his office number when he makes calls from his private cell. It shows up as the office phone on the person's display they have called.
    If the person has the office number programmed into their contacts it will name the name, otherwise just the number shows up.

  89. Jack, true to form, you are condoning corruption. It is exactly what this episode exposes. The inherent collusion of local Government and law enforcement utilizing power to lie, cheat, steal, misrepresent, spin and distort truth and justice.
    We are witnessing it first hand here and on the other MSM.
    Duncan and Ireton are acting sophmoric at best even in their attempt to hide and misrepresent.
    Very UN-professional people.

  91. Jack K Richards, I don't think it's about the content of the call at hand here. It's the shift of blame, made up "facts" lack of police uncovering the real truth, and the total acceptance by the MSM, well maybe the "lesser mass media being the DT, of lies told being supported by those in power. The real facts need to be told, even if it was a simple 'drunk dial" that could have been apologized for and let water go under the bridge. No, now they made up a story and want us all to fall for it hook line and sinker.
    Hold feet to the fire now.

  92. Notice how Ireton keeps you away from information but lets the dt's in on everything. I noticed how you weren't invited to yesterdays meeting but people from the dt's were there. If that doesn't show corruption I don't know what else to tell you.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I finally get it.

    Ok, the Daily Times said they spoofed you and then they called this Carmean guy. The 302 number is Carmeans, right? So your saying this couldn't be possible because both calls came in at the same time. Oh this is too funny.

    So in reality it was the mayor who called you and they figured if you went public with it they would say you were spoofed.

    Someone has some explaining to do.

    lol I hear ya, and even call people out on it.

    Sometimes it's just a typo and I let that slide. I do it myself from time to time.

    But we can tell the really under-educated ones. They repeatedly make spelling and/or grammar mistakes, but sometimes have the nerve to call someone else out on it. lol Too funny.

    And then there are those who use 25 cent words and have no idea the definition of the words.lol Again, too funny.

    But anyway, it won't go away simply because they
    don't know any better.

    Have a nice night/weekend, and keep fighting the good fight.

    That goes double to you Mr. Albero. I'm pretty confident that you will Joe. You have for almost 8 years now.

    You have run bad people 'out of town' before and it looks like they are getting lined up to attack again.

    Bitch slap every single one of these abusers and wastes' of space.

    You have a lot of people behind you. I don't think these sleazeballs realize that....yet.

  97. Re: 5:52 PM

    The problem with your reasoning is that there is no evidence of spoofing, just a claim. The SPD at the recent "event" simply made a statement without substantiating it. They also stated (multiple times?) that no crime has committed. This isn't SBY politics, this is MD politics. What's changed is that it is becoming more visible as a result of internet. My wife ran for Delegate for one of MD's counties. She lost but got MORE votes per dollar spent in campaigning than any other candidate. The eventual winner lasted only a single term as the eventual favors began to surface.

    I can't vote for Joe because I chose to escape MD's mess years ago. The only thing to slow down or stop MD's political "machine" is to get to the polls in record numbers. That's going to happen I think at the National level with the Presidential election. I could go on and on with the inclusion of Mathias and Conway as well as the Hall brothers in OC. Business as usual needs to stop and NOW.

    OC has another election just around the corner. Many sitting officials are resisting changing voting dates that currently only turn out 25% of those registered. I have seen only one candidate supporting this so far.

    So you see, some individuals are trying to make a difference. The "establishment" however is doing everything in their power to stop this.

    When you walk into YOUR election box, what kind of person will YOU be?

  99. Mayor Ireton, just apologize and be done with this mess.

    Why all the drama? You really think the citizens of Salisbury and surrounding areas, need or want all this foolishness?

    Besides being a waste of time; a distraction from more IMPORTANT areas of concern; and a total embarrassment to all of us and YOU, untie your panties, say your sorry and let's move on.

    This story you and others have MANUFACTURED is just not going to fly.

    Admit it, forget it and let's deal with some REAL issues around here, shall we?

    Thank you.

  100. Joe keep up the good fight! If the states attorney's office advised the mayor/police department that is was okay to go after your phone records Matt and his office need to be brought down. Clearly they don't know or understand the laws of this great nation and who are they to investigate you about your rental properties. Matt needs to go!!

  101. First of all I would never condone corruption. Secondly, I have not seen any evidence of "true" corruption, just a "crank" call. Maybe some of you are more knowledgable as to the content than I. Thirdly a have read numerous posts that indicate Corruption with SPD. If so many of you are aware of this so called criminal activties why isn't something being done about it, ie: cite specifics not just hearsay or rumors. I have not read of one example of criminal activities and since Joe is kind enough to allow Anonymous postings one would think that some posters would deal with the aforementioned specifics. Has anyone from SPD been charged with any such actvity. Now you must excuse me if I am missing something since I now reside in Florida and may not be privy to all the information. Would be gland to discuss this w/ anyone who could enlighten me. Again, just my 2 cents worth

  102. 7PM... I disagree that the contents are not important. What I find VERY unimportant is that the Police, having much and many better things to do than mess with this mess unless the content was of a criminal matter, a threat to someones well being etc. C'mon get real.

    So Mr. Ec police officer. How is it legal for the police to pull Joe's phone records and not the Mayors? How is it PROFESSIONAL for the DT & WMDT at least to cover the story without mentioning Joe barely at all except that he is "some blogger". How is it fair that the Chief of Police never interviewed Joe or got his side of the story. IS that not enough signs of corruption for you? If not maybe you should head back to the academy.

    Lemme see if I can answer that for ya.

    It's legal to pull one and not the other, because they didn't want the other?

    Hope that clears it up for you.

  110. @11:15 let me clear this up for you.....if they have NO legal reasoning behind it and Joe did not give the police authority to get his record then it was an illegal seizure of his records and someone else can be sued.

    thanks for playing the 'Let's be a wiseass' game.

    However, in your rush to be a wiseass, you strayed away from the original question.

    Matter of fact, you start your bs with an 'if'. That two letter word shows us that the rest of your rant is not fact filled, nor do you know what you are talking about.

    The only thing you cleared up, sir, is how much of an ass you are.

    But thanks for playing and better luck next time.

  112. @ 12:16 Thanks Chuck Woolery

    Say the police had cause, Joe would have to have been charged with a crime. I buy the digging for resources theory, the police violated Joe's constitutional rights by illegaly siezing his phone records without his permission or in lieu of committing a crime.

    As a defendent he would have also had the right to face his accuser of said crime.

  117. 1139, I was there when Sarah's call came in! It was her and she wanted Joe to , well, I'll let Joe tell that when he wants. She said a few other things, too, but bottom line, it was a call cut short by Joe telling her he didn't have time for her $h1t and don't EVER call me back! It was great! I back Joe with his total honesty approach. The TRUTH always sets one free! Trouble is, many out there are having trouble handling yhe truth.

    What a dang shame!

  118. From the looks of the investigative documents posted on another site, it appears they used your “Complaint” to the police department of the phone call to investigate you for filing a false public report. Now you have your answer as to why they could and did subpoena your cell phone records.
    Interesting you think?
