InlandPolitics.com has learned that former Police Chief Martin Thouvenell will run in the special election to fill the city council seat vacated by Ray Musser.
Musser was appointed mayor last month.
So far, Thouvenell is the only person expressing interest in the seat.
that is all we need……
Hey, maybe him and the Fire Chief can get together!
Another nitwit from Upland….

that and the fact he is triple dipping pension. this should be fun to watch haha
Thouvenell and JP have a lot in common. Both are arrogant tyrants and crooks. Hopefully the residents of Upland will not be taken for a ride again.
bring back milhiser and the whole gang will be together again what a joke ps when is the town going to wake up and look into the background of these guys ask the wine expert about sneakers back in the day
If you want the truth on the corruption under JP and Willis just ask Thouvenell. Who do you think went to the FBI 5+ years ago?
Can you say Martin?
Milheiser is Thouvenall’s campaign manager.
I have met Marty. Real no nonsense kind of guy. He works over at the Senior Center doenst he? He continues to serve the community and is serious about getting our city back on track. I like that. Out of the three who think they are running I know more about Marty than either Dan Morgan or that Creighton guy.
Well maybe Martin can explain that little civil rights issue Mr.Thouvenell and Captain Mendenhall had with Mr.Beck when they tried to get him charged with a BULLSHIT terrorist threats charge?
Or maybe some of the crap Chief Adams had to clean up that Marty created in the Police Department.
If in doubt one might go ask the Police Union lawyers about Marty Thouvenell and his antics.
I’ll believe what I read from court transcipts on one’s character before giving one a vote because he works at the seniors center.
Anyone for another glass of Kook-Aid on Thouvenell???
Sure ACU, Riiiiiight. As if the whole incident wasn’t incredulous, you bring up a nuisance suit that was blown way out of proportion. And you question his ability as a Chief of Police? Yeah, I would love to hear the opinion of a Police Union Lawyer. The same lawyer that got a 25K Settlement for his blackmailing client the good Capt. in the Quincey deal, and a 25K payment to the Union as hush money so they didn’t go to the press… That’s the real crime. Police Union Lawyer…(And you call yourself AntiCorruptionUnit) The fact that you think that gives anything you say credibility is a hoot! Hey folks, No Kool-Aid here just no more BS.
Workingclass did you actually read the ENTIRE suit and as it went up through the courts? A civil rights suit is far from a nuisance suit,. Yep I guess all the judges who commented on that nuisance suit were blowing things out of purporsion too. THOSE are facts one can decide after reading it.
Sounds like you are making excuses for the real crooks. YOU must be one or have your hand out for some future consideration from them.
It’s rather obvious your a Quincy fan too, would that be the same one with the domestic violence issue, the same Quincy who got the matter covered-up, and the Sergeant who got retaliated against for doing his job?
Now you seem to suggest the union lawyer was the real crook and blackmailed Quincy for money.
Seems funny the FBI looked at that police report involving Quincy and interviewed three Police Captains. HOW did the FBI miss that blackmail issue? YOU should go tell them.
But if one wants to vote for Marty because you met him and give him a thumbs up because he works at the senior center, OKAY!!! It’s America. VOTE for Martin Thouvenell!!!
Read the lawsuit and decide. It does contain some serious issues that do carry a little more weight than your MARTY is the man!!!
“Now you seem to suggest the union lawyer was the real crook and blackmailed Quincy for money.”
No that was Lt. Moore. Your lawyer buddy is just the enabler. I forgot, that he is the reason we have that 3rd Captains position in the firstplace. He didn’t get promoted because there was only 2 slots and he didnt want to wait. SO yeah, if I think that he and his lawyers blackmailed Quincey, Chief Adams, and the city for a promotion and 50K in cash that was covered up… Yeah, thats Blackmail! The fact that he kept a copy of the original report so that he could cover his own ass was a great idea, just when you use that same piece of paper a year later to leverage your promotion desires… “Give me that promotion I want or I’ll go and tell everyone about what really happened that night!” Uh, yeah ACU, what definition does that meet?
For the record, I don’t trust anyone that has held a position in that corrupt pit of inequity they call Upland City Hall. JP, WIllis, Thomas, Brant, Musser, Quincey, Curley, Mendenhal(S)-plural, Adams, Anotucci, and few of the Department heads… You cant trust any of them. Sorry but thier credibility was shot the minute they all lined up and defended the King of Upland for the past 5 years.
Yes that would be political blackmail. But seems no one called BS on it either. Some folks play dirty, JUST like they were taught.
But thank you for the more detailed explanation!!!I won’t argue with you on who you should trust. My understanding is the FBI is still digging around your city.
As far as Thouvenell goes, YOU all need some fresh faces around there.
Thank you ACU. I didn’t want to start a battle here. I have been reading your posts for a while and I agree with you most of the time. You seem to know more than most on this page so I like being challenged.
There are a few of us here that are very aware of what is going on in our hallowed halls and are trying to get this ship back in the direction it needs to be moving.
It is because of blogs like this and people like you who ask the questions that give us “joe six packs” a voice. The fresh faces thing is so true.
You folks keep up the battle in Upland, you all have a good start on cleaning things up thanks to the FBI. Stay strong!!!
Under the leadership of Thouvenell. My disabled mother and I were forced from our home by the harassment of Upland Police officers. Our home was cited with five or more code violations. Upland police officers sat accross the street from our house, and followed us when we left the property. Much of this is on video tape. I wrote and e mailed Thouvenell about police misconduct and corruption but he ignored us. We took the worse house on the block and made it into the nicest. The city of upland should have given us a plaque for our actions. Instead corrupt police officers harrassed us and forced us from our home which we sold at a loss, just so we could get away from the tyranny. I wrote letters to the FBI and U S Department of Justice. The Upland police department retaliated against my 70 year old mother and I. If you want more of the same corruption, then thouvenell is your man.
