Urban farmer falsely accused him of pedophilia and gun violence by three white women

A black man in Detroit was hauled into court and falsely accused of stalking by three white women who didn’t like his urban gardening in their neighborhood.

Marc Peeples, 32, last week was ordered freed by a Michigan judge who said that stalking charges filed against him were ‘disgusting’ and ‘a waste of the court’s time and resources.’

‘[The three white women] should be sitting at the defendant’s table for stalking and harassment charges, not Mr. Peeples,’ District Court Judge E. Lynise Bryant said.

Police were called multiple times by the women who complained about Peeples, who is black, according to the Detroit Metro Times.

Three women have made dozens of phone calls to police about Peeples during the course of 2017 and this year. The women have been identified as Deborah Nash (above), Jennifer Morris, and Martha Callahan

They alleged that he was a pedophile and that he threatened one of them with a gun.

One of them even alleged that he had taken part in a drive-by shooting.

The three women made dozens of phone calls to police about Peeples during the course of 2017 and this year.

The women, who have been identified as Deborah Nash, Jennifer Morris, and Martha Callahan, apparently objected to Peeples’ garden that he planted in a vacant playground.

Nash alleged that Peeples threatened to take her home. Then she claimed that he painted ‘gang colors’ on vacant homes and trees.

She also alleged that Peeples threatened to kill her and to burn down her house.

All of these allegations were false, according to authorities.

The women were so unhappy with the garden that they ‘engaged in a very targeted and constant harassment of the young man,’ according to Bryant.

‘I found their testimony to be offensive,’ the judge said.

Eventually, Detroit police charged Peeples with stalking even though one of the officers is heard on his body cam saying that the more serious allegations against him were ‘B.S.’

Peeples said: ‘It was blatant racism.

‘They didn’t like the fact that a black man was in so-called “their” neighborhood without their permission.’

In March, Detroit police sent three squad cars after Nash alleged that Peeples threatened her with a gun.

But when officers arrived, they saw Peeples raking leaves in a nearby lot.

‘Ain’t no law against raking leaves,’ the officer is heard saying in body cam footage.

Peeples prevailed in court, but at a steep cost.

He paid $3,500 to be freed on bond. He also had to pay substantial legal fees to his attorneys.

Worst of all, he was fired from jobs and had difficulty finding employment to make ends meet.

A friend started a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign to help Peeples recoup some of his losses.

‘It’s frustrating to have accusations placed on you with no merit, and they get you all the way into court to go to trial,’ Peeples said.

‘If someone believed their story and I was found guilty, I would be in county jail doing up to a year just because they don’t want … a black person in their area.

The case is reminiscent of other instances in which panicked whites called police on African Americans who were doing routine activities. In April, ‘BBQ Becky’ called police in Oakland because a black family was using charcoal on their grill

‘They get to ruin my life, say anything they want, and then they get to go on with their lives.’

The case is reminiscent of other instances in which panicked whites called police on African Americans who were doing routine activities outdoors.

In April, a woman who earned the mocking nickname ‘BBQ Becky’ called police in Oakland because a black family was using charcoal on their grill.

On October 12, ‘Apartment Patty’ of St. Louis physically prevented D’Arreion Toles from entering his own apartment.

Two days prior, ‘Cornerstone Caroline,’ whose real name is Teresa Klein, accused a nine-year-old boy, Jeremiah Harvey, of grabbing her backside in a New York store.

But surveillance footage showed that the boy’s backpack accidentally grazed her.

Peeples does not want social media to give these three women any nicknames.

‘People are giving these ladies funny nicknames but this is serious,’ he said.

‘This is my life, what these people are doing is not cute – it’s ugly.’
