A screen shot (used under the Copyright Act Fair Use clause) of newspaper coverage and review of Tom Dillard as published in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Since this website has been ongoing for more than a decade, I thought it would be helpful for me to review why this site was created and review why I published both here on tomdillard.net and tomdillardlasvegas.com.
Tom (Thomas / Thomas D. / T.D.) Dillard and I go way back. The “basis” of our relationship, such as it was, was the fundamental, unabashed lies he was making up about me. He had no clue as to the veracity of the kind of info he was spewing about me, which got repeated very publicly in opinion columns written by John L. Smith in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
That was the start. Dillard got my attention in a way I’m sure now, in retrospect, he wishes he hadn’t. I started looking into his life, his background and began uncovering lie after lie after lie regarding his “work” as a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detective.
All of them are well documented on the two sites I mentioned at the beginning of this post.
I’ll summarize some of the highlights:
- He told lies about me in a court case in being heard in the Southern District of Nevada Federal Court, in which I was a witness for the defense, and tried to intimidate me and send a not-so-thinly-veiled message by surveilling my young son at the private elementary school he was attending. Reprehensible.
- Dillard tried to influence a judge — intimidate him, again, really — into getting a verdict that would vindicate his work in a case he was involved with.
- He had a lien slapped on him by the IRS to the tune of almost $34,000 back in 2008/2009.
- Falsely accusing and hiding exculpatory evidence in the case of a murder of a young boy in Stateline, Nevada, and being punished by a jury which awarded the man falsely accused $1 million in punitive damages.
I encourage you to revisit some of the posts and pages in these two Dillard sites to re-familiarize yourself with the litany of facts presented regarding this disgraced (my word, my opinion) former Metro detective. I almost hate using his name, but that’s unavoidable. Check out some of the info published within those sites and you’ll understand why.
