A Buckley man received a court summons from the Tacoma City Attorney’s Office for a crime he did not commit, all because of faulty Tacoma police department software.

Roughly four days after a Tacoma woman ended things with her boyfriend, Michael Wiltfong the terrorizing had begun: text messages threatening to kill her and words like hoe and slut written on her windows. To cap things off, she said Wiltfong showed up the night of March 11 yelling, "I’m gonna beat your ass" at a friend that was inside her home.The victim, we’ll call her Amber to protect her identity, knew it was her ex-boyfriend.

"I know mistakes can happen, but when somebody makes all the effort to prove their innocence, alibis, photographs, statements, and you still have to come down and miss work and hire a lawyer, that’s pretty disappointing."Three separate police reports were written on March 11 describing an event where "Monster" harassed and injured his ex-girlfriend. Each was filed by a separate officer.
