Re: Return of Seized Property – Norwalk Police Department Case #11-7963
Dear Chief Rilling:
I represent Barbara C. Doutel regarding the seizure of her firearms by members of your department, absent warrant or other justification, on February 16, 2011.
This letter is a demand for the return of the personal property lawfully owned by Mrs. Redacted and in your custody, including: (List of 1-4 firearms is redacted); and (5) Bag, Case, and Rifle Slug.
Please contact my office to secure arrangements for the return of Mrs. Redacted’s above stated personal property. Mrs. Doutel holds a valid state permit.
Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter. The seizure of Mrs. Doutel's firearms has denied her security in her home and the right to defend her family.
As the Department of Public Safety will confirm, Mrs. Doutel obtained a state permit immediately following the home invasion, sexual assaults, and murders in Cheshire due to concerns about protecting her home and family.
Any communications regarding this matter until its resolution shall be directed to this office.
Sincerely,
Rachel M. Baird, Attorney
