An admirer of the TGMC Revealed website sent me a link to an article on the Houma Courier’s website entitled, “TGMC board leader’s outburst sparks probe.”

Jerri Smitko, a houma attoenry and chairwoman for Terrebonne General Medical Center was issued a ticket for assault of a police officer, disturbing the peace while intoxicated, and simple assault.  The incident came about when a CNA refused to allow Ms. Smitko through an entrance that is clearly marked that entrance is now allowed after 8 P.M.

After the CNA refused entry to Ms. Smitko, Ms. Smitko became beligerant and allegedly threatened the CNA.  The police were called and Ms. Smitko was cuffed and placed in a patrol car.  Percy Mosely, Chief of Security for Terrebonne General Medical Center, attempted to have the police release Ms. Smitko from the cuffs.  This includes him personally going to the patrol car and opening the door without any authorization from any of the officers.  In my opinion Mr. Mosely seems to think that because he and his cheif supervisors have received law-enforcement commision from Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois, that he can do whatever he wants.  Personally, I feel that Mr. Mosely should have been charged with interfering with police business.

Furthermore Mr. Mosely attempted to get the CNA to retract her charges that she decided to press on Ms. Smitko.  This is a clear example of corruption not only within the hospital but within the parish itself.  People like Mr. Mosely should not hold such an authorative position.  These are the types of people that tote their authority on their shoulder and use it as they please, not as in accordance with the law.

This incident was a perfect example of the corruption I have spoke of on TGMC Revealed.  Perhaps if Mr. Michel Claudet would have listened to me when I wrote him this might have not happened.  I clearly warned Mr. Claudet of TGMC’s corruption however my warnings were ignored.
