Hi Jamie and Eric,

Can you explain to me and the good people of Novato, why you allow John Sherry to live on Binford Rd with his expensive vehicles (which could be sold for rent money) and his constant arrests for allegedly beating up his wife/ex-wife? In the below article, Mr. Sherry said his wife has had cancer.  Mr. Sherry is a big dude, 6’1, 205 lbs and he’s consistently arrested for battery against people/spouse.

Does the county of Marin condone violence against a woman who has had cancer by a large man and therefore allows him to continually squat on Binford Road and take taxpayer services there?

This mayhem has to stop, the violence against people has to stop, the use of drugs and drug dealings needs to stop. It has gone on way too long on Binford Rd.

SHERRY, JOHN GRANT

Fire on Binford! – Photo’s from Toni S

Apparently there was a fire on Binford yesterday as shown in these photo’s.

They are cleaning up today.

She also called NPD to get rid of RVs and people sleeping in vans and cars. There were two out of state license plates.

Toni continues to keep the pressure on the local authorities to do their jobs. But it can’t just be Toni calling all the time, please make your voice heard if you see something illegal going on.

Please call NPD directly or use the “Report an Issue Website

Citizen Letter: 2.4.2024

Hi Jamie,
I called in the below today regarding Binford Road.  There are toxic generators with gas and oil and hoarding being submerged into our wetlands as I write this. 
The RV campers have abused the situation and continually destroy our environment. 

We, The People have had enough.  With over 2.2 Million of our taxpayer dollars given to “fix” Binford, this is shameful. 

Although efforts with Mike are completely acknowledged and appreciated, the county can do better. 

Our wildlife and citizens of Novato don’t deserve our community to be destroyed.

When Mike is off duty, please have an officer in charge to deal with this mess.  It appears when Mike is gone, little is addressed.

Posting all over Social Media and Barbara will not be happy!

Thank you,

Citizen Letter: Binford Road 1.14.2024 (update)

To: Dear Sheriff Scardina, Chief Naugle and Deputy Thompson

We appreciate Deputy Thompson’s efforts on Binford Rd. 

Today, I took the below photos:

1) The RV on the city side of the road needs to be removed.  I will call it in again to NPD.  If you need me to have members of the public call it in too, I can have that done.

2) A dog (healer breed) is tied to some junk and is unattended.  I cannot see if he has food or water.  I no longer call the MHS, as Nancy who is a leader of the MHS wrote to me, “The people who live on Binford Rd treat their animals like family.”   I don’t tie family members up to junk and I don’t know anyone who does. 

3) I asked the man to not have his two dogs defecate and urinate into the wetlands.  I purposely was on the phone with Dispatch when I stayed this so it would be on record.  The man clearly didn’t think he was doing anything wrong by being in the wetlands with his dog. 

I am respectfully asking again for the laws to be followed on Binford Rd.  No matter the hardships or painful  backstories of many of the residents living on Binford, that does not give them the right to neglect animals, have them defecate in the wetlands, litter, dispose of their human waste wherever they like and park wherever they do choose.

On a happy note, after church today, a woman said she appreciated all my social media posts on Binford Rd. I hear that all the time in the community.  Time for me to crank it up again.

Peace,

To: Marin Sheriff

As I was emailing you about the dogs on Binford, the below just happened.

A car moved out and at the same time this RV moved in. 

From my understanding and what the public believes the county is telling them, no newcomers are allowed on Binford Rd.  

If this is not a newcomer, he can find another place to go. His RV clearly works.   Having two set of rules in this county —for those who follow the law and for those who don’t—-is infuriating the public.
