History of Rex Archer Public Service in Yuba County, California Began in 1974 when he took tests to become a Reserve Deputy Sheriff under then Sheriff Gary Miller, passed the tests and became A Reserve Deputy Sheriff. He served under four Sheriffs rising in rank to 2nd in command of the reserve forces with the rank of Lieutenant, spanning 25 years of service. He was sworn in and like all reserves, donated their hours of Duty to the county. He also became a Director of a local Reclamation District that was charged with maintaining flood water Levees for the State at a pittance of $100 per month from 1989 through 1996, and took them out of Debt from a 1986 Levee break.
He and his wife also cared for Foster children in their home for several years with no complaints from the Children or the State or County agencies who visited the home weekly, until they could no longer handle the Children’s violence and mean spirited actions.
In 2005, he chose to run for Sheriff against the current sheriff, Virginia Black who had changed the Proactive, proper visible street Patrol activities to Reactive report writing on computers. In 2006, after the Officers of the County Sheriffs Department refused to Support her in her re Election bid, she chose not to run again. Rex Archer applied for papers from the County clerk, Terry Hansen to run for sheriff but she said Rex had to meet ss 24004.3, ( 1989 ), or papers could not be given. Rex showed Hansen the SS 24004.3 required a member of a group or individual of a group to be elected Sheriff, was in violation of California State Constitution Article 2 section 12, ( 1879 ) “ No group or individual can be named by statute to hold any office,” Hansen said,” Rex I am not even going there.” In 2010, Rex again asked County clerk Hansen if she would permit him to run against the Former Under Sheriff under Black, Sheriff Steve Durfor, who was continuing ex Sheriff Blacks re active police methods, Hansen said no, I will not.
Hansen was upholding a Legislated statute that violated the State Constitution, a higher authority than the Statute and any act or law of any officer or body assuming to act under the constitution, as the state legislature did In 1989.
In March of 2006 after the refusal of the County clerk to follow the State constitution, Rex applied for Papers to run against the incumbent, Daniels R. Logue for District 1 Supervisor, and even with The County Clerk placing Blocks in his way, Rex came within 34 votes of beating the incumbent, and along with two other Supervisors, returning the County to the people. In late 2006, Rex discovered that Logue who was Chairman of the Board of a Joint venture formed In 2004 to upgrade Flood Prevention levees in Yuba county, had failed to account for 100’s of Millions of State grants and developer fees granted to the Joint Venture between 2004 and 2007 , The Three Rivers Levee Improvement authority ( TRLIA ). Rex asked the CEO of TRLIA and the County Auditor in Early 2007 if either of them had ever accounted for the 100’s of Millions and both said they had not. Further Investigation by Rex and others determined TRLIA under Logue’s management had failed to upgrade the West Linda levee by following State Reclamation Board/ Corps of engineers approved permit # 18095GM, ( 2006 ) calling for Boulders and cobble stones to be placed along the base of the levee from the Highway 70 bridge to prevent the Massive Flood waters from eroding out the levee, and the Levee waterside to be Sloped properly to permit rain water to flow off without eroding the levee. ( In 2009 TRLIA, with no notice at all, Sloped the levee, but did not place the Boulders and cobble stones to stop erosion) . The sloping of the waterside was to be done in 2006 in Exchange for the State Reclamation Board letting TRLIA increase more housing development in Plumas lake.
On February 7, 2008, the Sheriff , Steve Durfor ordered six deputies to arrest Rex at his home on Charges of Child Molestation on two of the Foster Children he and his wife had cared for in the past. The Sheriff And District attorney Patrick Mc Grath after swearing out a warrant, applied seven charges illegally against Rex after which both the D.A . and Sheriff gave a press release stating the Charges were true and they had Probable cause Evidence, to the Appeal democrat. After two and one half years, during which the D.A. implied he had evidence to be brought out that proved beyond a reasonable doubt his charges. During the Jury trial, the D.A. brought no evidence except the two girls and one each of their parents, and after a short closing argument, rested his case, without bringing the implied Culpable evidence he had implied for two and one half years. After the Jury was unable to Find Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, instead of finding Rex acquitted under CalCrim 220 Jury instructions, the Judge Julia Scrogin after nullifying the State penal code Law 1096, called a mistrial and The D.A. said he would try Rex again. Scrogin had read the instruction s three times to the jury stating if the Prosecutor could not prove Guilt beyond a reasonable Doubt, under CalCrim 220 Rex was to be acquitted.
Rex Hired another attorney, James Reilly of the Bay Area, who after reading the transcripts of the Trial, determined Rex’s Prior Attorney, David Vasquez had failed to properly defend Rex leaving Him with no representation, as well as The District Attorney had improperly pled the Charges which sensationalized and caused the Judge and Citizens to look down on Rex, who was presumed to be innocent under the Constitution. Rex’s Attorney, James Reilly, filed four Motions to dismiss on October 12, 2010, and on October 22, 2010 before the 2nd Trial was to begin on October 29 ,2010, filed seven more Motions. On Friday the 22nd Of October, The D.A. Dismissed the charges. The Motions showed Improper pleadings, improper Court Instructions to the Jury, Failure of The D.A. to prove Guilt beyond a reasonable Doubt, and others. The D.A. Knew in 2008 when he filed the charges against Rex they were not properly Pled and still he did not change the improperly pled charges, for his unkown reasons.
It is worthy to mention, During 2005, The Yuba County Board of Supervisors approved employee allocations and Salary Increases to the Department Heads and the other upper management of Massive proportions when given Yuba County’s Meager funds, and it is suspect to me that the Funds came from the Unaccounted State Grants and developer fees that Dan Logue and other Upper management such as The Sheriff, the D.A., the Auditor, the County Clerk, and Others failed to account for, and still to this day in 2010, still will not audit or account for.
It is for the protection of the Levee funds granted to TRLIA and spread out who knows where that no accounting of the 100’s of Millions of dollars granted to TRLIA in 2004-2005-2006-2007 will be done by the Upper Management of Yuba County. They have been asked by a Group of Citizens but declined. It is because Rex tried to Bring Corruption to light in Yuba County that False, improperly pled Charges were brought against him by Political Foes, the Sheriff, the District Attorney, and possibly the original County Officials who “ Found a New Source “ of Funding to Balance The Budget with and Award themselves with High salary Increase’s in 2005.
