Dear Friend,
I just gave birth to our fourth child. My husband Chance should be home holding his newborn. Instead, he’s fighting for his freedom against charges that could put him away for life.
Chance has been indicted for doing exactly what his training demanded during a dangerous drug arrest in March 2019.
Keep Chance home with his children—your support truly makes the difference.
That night, Chance and his partner confronted a suspected crack dealer in a violent neighborhood.
The man was over six feet tall, more than 200 pounds, and determined to resist arrest. As they moved in, he shoved drugs into his mouth to destroy the evidence and then fought to keep his arms free.
The suspect was fueled by PCP, which makes people violently strong and almost immune to pain. He twisted and bucked against Chance and his partner, his elbows flared, his hands hidden down near his waistband.
In that terrifying moment, they had no idea if he was reaching for a gun. If they waited to find out, it could have been the last mistake of their lives.
Help Chance fight back today — don’t let politics destroy our family.
Chance and his partner used department-approved compliance techniques to get the man under control. The entire struggle lasted 72 seconds. Then EMS was immediately called. The whole incident was caught on bodycam, and after review, the department cleared both officers of any wrongdoing.
That should have been the end of it.
But years later, the District Attorney decided to make an example out of Chance. Ignoring the evidence, ignoring the bodycam footage, ignoring the internal clearance, he indicted Chance for aggravated assault by a public servant.
A conviction could mean decades in prison.
Chance has spent his career taking drugs and guns off the street. He is not a criminal. He is a husband, a father, and now the father of a newborn baby who deserves to grow up with his dad.
Stand with Chance before it’s too late — his trial is fast approaching.
Every day, our older children ask if Daddy will be home for Christmas, or for their birthdays. And now, with a newborn in my arms, I pray that all four of our children won’t be forced to grow up without their father.
But prayers aren’t enough. Chance needs your help. His legal defense is already draining us. We are fighting for his freedom, but we cannot fight alone.
Rush your support now — time is running out.
Gratefully,
Kimberly Bretches
P.S. Four children could lose their father to politics.
Please give today and help us stop this injustice.
