Please Help Maureen Fight For Justice

On December 8, 2022, while feeding feral cats in the alley behind her home, then 84-year-old Maureen was assaulted by a Sparks, NV Fireman/Paramedic. He took her belongings and leg swept her head first into the concrete pavement of the alley. What happened next, was possibly more grotesque than the assault. The police arrived and together with Sparks Fire Station No. 1 , and other City Agencies, they closed ranks and broke every rule in the book when it comes to a citizens Civil Rights. Even though there was a video of the entire assault, they framed Maureen and charged her as the assailant, villainizing her. Below is Maureen's story...

The latest update on Maureen's Story...

Maureen suffered a heart attack in April 2024. An echo cardiogram indicated it was a result of enormous stress. The months since the assault have been extraordinarily hard on Maureen and her health and quality of life continues to decline.

Following the release of the Fairfax Consulting report (see update below), Maureen's lawsuit against Timothy Egan and the City of Sparks has been amended to add a Civil Rights complaint against the Sparks police officers and a number of individuals within the City of Sparks. The Fairfax Consulting report reveals that multiple individuals within the Sparks Police Department and City of Sparks changed their story when read their Garrity advisements for their interviews. Their stories changed to align with the video, despite the same video footage of the assault being available from the fire stations own cameras on the night Maureen was assaulted. All of these players knew what the video footage showed but chose to conspire against a then 84-year-old woman to protect the City of Sparks and the fireman who assaulted her. What happened to Maureen is unconscionable and a gross abuse of power by all involved in intentionally conspiring to hurt her.

Maureen's adult children made a promise to seek some sort of justice for the grave injustices committed against Maureen. This GoFundMe has been updated to seek help in taking on the Sparks, NV, government. They have the money of the taxpayers at their disposal to try to prevent being held accountable for their grotesque actions. All resources in Maureen’s GoFundMe go toward helping fight Maureen's legal battle against oppression.

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus - Once a liar, always a liar: This is how Maureen's children view the City of Sparks.

UPDATE TO MOM'S STORY....

In the summer of 2023, the City of Sparks procured a contractor at a rate not to exceed $10,000, to determine if Sparks Fireman/Paramedic Tim Egan, had violated city protocol for assaulting our mom. The report was delivered to the City of Sparks in the fall of 2023, by Chris Darcy of Fairfax Consulting Group in Las Vegas. When I (her daughter) made a Public Records Request to the City of Sparks, the City denied it. This required I sue the City of Sparks for violating the Nevada Public Records Act. I prevailed and received a copy of the report. The report demonstrated numerous Sparks agencies had lied about Tim Egan's assault upon my mother, and how they chose to handle it post-assault. Virtually everyone who touched it, was guilty of violating my mothers rights. The full report is available to read here: Fairfax Consulting Report

In the meantime, mom's health continues to decline and it remains to be seen if the City of Sparks has the moral fortitude and courage to make right the despicable wrongs perpetrated upon mom. Please continue to keep mom in your hearts and prayers that justice will prevail. She will be 86 years old in July.

WHO IS MAUREEN?

Maureen Hvegholm is a mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to animals. She will be 85 years old in July.

A BRUTAL ATTACK

On December 8, 2022, around 2:20 p.m., Maureen was assaulted in a public alleyway behind her home in Sparks, Nevada, by a Sparks Fireman/Paramedic. The assault occurred as she laid out a cardboard box for shelter and food for several feral cats she has tended to for years. Maureen has lived in this neighborhood for roughly 17 years and in this time she has been a caretaker of animals and the occasional homeless person who frequents this alley. This is an old part of Sparks and most people have moved from this area, leaving it for shinier neighborhoods.

It was a brutal attack and we should warn you it is difficult to watch as this 84-year-old woman bounces off the concrete pavement.

Maureen survives on roughly $1500 in monthly social security benefits and often the assistance of her children to help offset basic living expenses. So it is understandable that Maureen was both startled and distressed when the man began grabbing items she purchased with her limited funds to throw them in the garbage dumpster. It was cruel.

We suggest you watch the video in full-screen view, paying attention to the upper left corner of your screen.
