Been an interesting week in Norwalk. Went to Norwalk City Council Meeting on Tuesday night and the biggest thing at the meeting was an item that did not appear on the agenda. Anyway, residents have been given the below "flyer" on their doorsteps this week....
The people of Norwalk are pretty smart when it comes to issues with Metro State Hospital, they are not fooled too often, especially when it comes to "politics" and "perceptions."
Got to applaud Norwalk Sheriff's Captain Pat Maxwell for the way he handled this situation this week in public. Here is a video clip and a copy of the material that began showing up on doorsteps this week. We need more people like Captain Maxwell in our community. He is one of the "best of the best" in my opinion, and really cares about our community.
My take is that this could be tied to the recent and current labor/political battles that are currently going on at Metro. Just sayin....

A flyer warning Norwalk residents who live in the area near Metropolitan State Hospital about a recent “walk away” situation involving a famed celebrity stalker has caught the eye of local law enforcement officials.
At Tuesday’s Norwalk City Council Meeting, Sheriff’s Captain Patrick Maxwell was asked by Mayor Cherie Kelly and City Manager Mike Egan to address the contents of the flyer, and to determine who was responsible for it. Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, had walked away from Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk in early February, causing an immediate manhunt for his return by law enforcement agencies throughout Southern California including the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s, and other local police agencies.
The case quickly became national news, and was even covered by CNN, Fox News, and the BBC in the United Kingdom.
Maxwell held a copy of the flyer that carried a bold headline “ESCAPED!” Residents around Norwalk began receiving it on Tuesday.
Embossed on the flyer are the words, “Madonna Stalker escaped from Metropolitan State Hospital just over a month ago. The LAPD described him as a ‘very psychotic m

Embossed on the flyer are the words, “Madonna Stalker escaped from Metropolitan State Hospital just over a month ago. The LAPD described him as a ‘very psychotic m
an’ with ‘very violent tendencies’ and he was on the loose on your streets for over a week!!”
The flyer also stated: “Even more disturbing, this institution plans to cut Psychiatrists and Psychologists who help stabilize and ensure security. Your safety is at risk! This asylum is in your back yard and it must be known that safety is more important! This is your community and action must be taken!!”
