Sunrise Donuts and Sweets of Gloucester, VA - Questions of Business Professionalism

Above is a screen capture from the Sunrise Donuts and Sweets shop Facebook page that shows a very serious question of business ethics.  Highlighted on the screen capture, in yellow, is very foul language one would never expect to see on any business site unless of course you were in the porn business where it is then expected.  The area is towards the top left hand side above the Chocolate comes from cocoa tree picture graphics.  The statement says; "I Don't give a F--k if you're offended's photo".

  In fairness, from what we are able to determine, Sunrise Donuts did not write the post, they simply shared the post.  Still, the decision to do so on a business site such as Sunrise Donuts and Sweets is not showing sound business ethics or practices.  But then again what can one expect from a site that also makes the statement, "Home of the crazy chick."   We have no objections to people sharing items like this on their personal pages.  It's freedom of speech.  But to share it on a business page?  Come on folks, get with it.  That is simply poor judgement.

Sunrise Donuts of Gloucester, VA - Multiple Health Code Violations? Hairy Donuts Anyone?

Gloucester, VA Facebook Page" target="_blank">Sunrise Donuts of Gloucester, VA Facebook Page from Chuck Thompson

We created a PDF version of the Sunrise Donuts Facebook page.  The page is wide open to the public and anyone in the world can view it.  However, once they are aware of their own posts, they are sure to remove some very questionable pictures from their pages.  This PDF shows how the site looks with what we see as some potentially serious health code violations.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunrise-Donuts-and-Sweets/197666766987760  Link to the Sunrise Donuts Facebook Page.

Hairy donuts anyone?

How many potential violations can you see here?  No hair net?  No food handlers gloves?  Paint Bucket for mixing dough?  Power drill used for a mixer?  Unsafe conditions as she is kneeling on a step ladder?  August 17th, 2013.  Note the commercial mixer in the background not being used.  Background sign also states only paid staff allowed in the kitchen.

 Again, no hair net or hat?

No hair net, not food handler's gloves.

We have a hat this time, but still no food handler's gloves.  She is handling the donut.

In front of a deep fryer?  No hair net no food handlers gloves.

Is this a sign of a minor who has been drinking on the job?  Is this something that is allowed and possibly even a common practice at this shop?  From what we know, this girl is a minor.  Open beer bottles and liquor bottle in the Kitchen of Sunrise donuts?  What's in those donuts anyway.  Also, what is in the bag under her arm?  Big bag of marijuana?  Spice donuts anyone?  We have no idea what is in the bag, but the picture sure looks highly questionable.

Is this guy on the clock?  Did he pay for that donut?  Did he get more in that donut than he bargained for?  Is that a special spice donut?  Beer infused maybe?  This is their pictures.


















On another note, look at the logo at the top left hand side of the site, Sunrise Donuts and Sweets Shop at the top, Home of the "Crazy Chic" at the bottom.
From what we are seeing here on Sunrise' own site, she has to be crazy to post pictures like these that show what looks like serious health code violations.  Now we are not saying that these are violation, we are going to let the health department determine that.  They have already been contacted from what we have been told.  We were just told to check out the site and this is what we found.  No telling what the Health department is going to find.  We will pull and publish their findings when the time comes.  In the mean time, the pictures speak for themselves.  Straight off their Facebook page.

Makes ya wanna go git some huh?  We will pass, thanks.

Gloucester Board of Supervisors Still Out of Compliance.

We just checked the Gloucester Animal Control ordinances site again and noted that it is still out of compliance with what the Board of Supervisors voted and approved it to be.  We are talking about ordinance 3-15, the title is way out of compliance.  It's become typical not to trust county officials to do their jobs properly.  The above video is more of an audio file.  It's an actual 911 audio recording that was presented in a Gloucester Animal Control court case.

 There are so many things wrong with the above audio it is not even funny.  Holli Cahoon, owner of the local Sunrise Donuts on route 17 south, George Washington Mem Hwy, was the 911 operator at that time.  She couldn't even keep her testimony on this audio straight.

  We had the above audio checked out by  a professional 911 operator in another area.  She told us so many areas where the audio was in violation of prescribed procedures for 911 incoming calls that the list is just to large to go over in this post.

  Listen to it several times, how many issues can you pick up?  We have a large number of files like this on the county.  It does not surprise us that they have no regard for actual laws and seem instead to just make them up as they go along.  Their sworn oaths meaning nothing.  

The youtube video was previously hidden on the site, we have now made it public along with a number of other issues we have found with Gloucester County  audio files.  The public has a right to know.

Sunrise Donuts and Holly Cohoon In The News Again

This attached article to the left is reprinted under the fair use laws of the US.  It is an article from the Gloucester Mathews Gazette Journal from October 11th, 2012.  Just a few weeks ago.  We delayed posting a story on this so as not to interfere with the fund raising activities this was to bring about.  Now that the time has passed, we find it highly interesting that Holly would even consider something like this.  If you recall, she sent us several emails and in one of those emails she made a very strong claim that she did not like her 911 call center job at the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office and was not friends with any of the employees there.  She did not attend their parties or mix with them and could not wait to get out of that place.  Well this seems like a very cozy arrangement between the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office and Holly allowing one of Gloucester's deputies to raise funds at Holly's shop, Sunrise Donuts.  Is this more evidence from the girl who claims she does not lie, lying to us?  Sure looks that way.

  The more we dig on Holly's background, the more we see that nothing she seems to communicate is worth even a cent.  How is it that someone who was waiting for a loan, gets a loan and adds rooms onto a house and the house goes down in value, opens a business, and buys two very expensive vehicles?  Holly and her husband have matching his and hers Toyota Land Cruisers.  Base price?  $78,000.00 each.  We did the math on how much the shop has to make to break even.  From what we have observed, the shop comes no where close to the numbers needed to break even, let alone make a profit.

  Is the Sunrise Donuts shop a front?  If so, for who and who financed it?  This is just a very off the wall question we have been looking at since the math makes no sense.  We have no proof that the store is any kind of front.  Holly is welcome to comment on any of these articles at any time.

Ex 911 Operator Holli M Cohoon Responds

Sunday at 9-1-1 (Photo credit: MoHotta18)

We recently have had several emails from Holli M Cohoon, the one who was the 911 operator in the case we have been covering for several months now.  We are going to show you what her response to all of this has been.  Before we show you her response, we are reprinting the information in question.
In order to follow the entire story, you can CLICK HERE and go to our site where the only thing on the site is evidence of this case.  We are now starting off with the soundtrack from the 911 call.

911 operator call testimony from Chuck Thompson

Now keep in mind, we took the 911 call recording and had it analyzed by a 911 call center professional who informed us every area where the call recording was in violation of 911 call protocols.  We were informed that there are only two ways to interpret this recording.  One, it's fake.  Two, it;s a cut up piece of evidence or in other words, highly tampered with.  Now this is just the 911 recording itself.  We have not even begun to touch on the other two pieces below this recording.

  Now let's look at Holli's own testimony that comes directly from the court transcripts.   To open with, Holli states that the 911 recording that you just heard above is a true and correct copy of the 911 call she received.  Holli then claims that she can not remember if she called the victim in this case back or if the victim called her back.  This was only a few months after the incident.  Question right here.  Where is the recording of this second call?  According to the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office, all calls from that time period have since been erased and that there is no evidence that even this call took place.  They have no record of it.  I have the email from them on this.  So without evidence of there being a second call, no second call ever took place.

  Now I also have to ask the question, where did Holli come up with the victim being armed with a shovel?  All one has to do is listen to the above 911 recording again and at no time is a shovel mentioned.  In fact, a gun is not mentioned either, yet you hear Holli state not one but two times for the victim to not shoot out that door.  Holli's testimony here about the victim having a shovel can only come from having conversations with both sheriff's deputies and animal control officers in collusion to develop their evidence story.  In other words, it sure looks like Holli is lying and perjuring herself to no end.

  The second audio recording we have numerous people stating what they heard Holli say that is in direct conflict with the 911 call recording as well as Holli's own testimony.  At this point there was enough to throw this case out.  In our opinion, Michael T Soberick was either a lousy 10 cent lawyer or he was misrepresenting his client and working more for the county.

  Now let's look at Holli M Cohoon's recent statements to all of this.  Sent via her Facebook account email.

I dont normally use this facebook account and just saw this message. Perhaps you should think outside your circle of friends and attempt to get all statements before publishing info. I have no idea about your "fun raid" theory. I simply answered a 911 call and was told by another dispatcher that an officer was at the door with animal control and to tell the caller the same. When the caller disconnected from the 911 call, I called her back on a landline! I dont know why the second call was not taken to court as I stated in testimony! I didnt and dont have access to the "taped call database"... that would be my prior supervisor! ASK her! Perhaps it was "gone" by the time the tape was requested because it was a landline, I DONT KNOW! The 911 call you have on your site is NOT altered in any way as I recall the conversation, but I did call her back! I DID NOT LIE in court, I DID NOT recieve a "payoff" and I DONT know of any conspieracy.. I dont even know which deputies were on her property other than Sgt. Emauelle. Perhaps thats why I was told to answer that perticular 911 call !! Lets get the "new girl"! I worked at the sheriffs office less than 2 years while preparing to open a business. It was not my "cup of tea" and VERY well known! I was not friends with or in any circle of friends within the sheriffs office.. didnt attend parties, gossip etc. I am a "come here" and left the Glou Shefiffs Office as soon as I got a loan for the business. You are "investigating" the wrong person, I am requesting that you take all info about me and my business off your website and turn your attention torwards those who know what the hell when on that day. Like I said, I was new to this county, an outsider, and have no idea about all the crazy crap that goes on in Gloucester County "good ol'boy" Society. Just wish we hadnt moved to this crazy place! Thanks!

To begin with, just because she claims she does not use that facebook page does not mean she didn't get the message as the message would have went straight to her email account.  Strike one.  Second, she is arguing about getting her side of the story before publishing any story.  Well, this was the chance.  She didn't want to respond before this.  Third, I never asked her about any kind of fun raid. she got that from reading this site.  That's three strikes already.

  Now this is where everything really becomes interesting.  Holli claims she was told to answer the 911 call from the victim and that there was already a deputy and animal control on the property?  Major violations of 911 protocol.  How did the 911 operators know this ahead of time?  This is very serious stuff Holli just released.  

  And now Holli, who after 3 months, based on her own testimony now states that she called the victim back when she stated in a court she could not remember who called who?  This is now more than two years later?  And what is with the land line statement?  Is she telling us that all 911 calls are not land line calls coming in?

  Also, now Holli is saying that there is a second phone call?  The sheriff's department has no record of a second phone call.  Someone here is lying.  Holli is also saying that the 911 call above is not altered.  She states this above.  Well then she blatantly refused to follow protocol for 911 emergency procedures then?  That's what she is saying otherwise.  She states she did not lie in court.  Where did the shovel come from Holli?  There is no evidence of any conversation of a shovel.  You didn't lie?  Really?  I'm having a very hard time believing that.

   One also has to love her statement, "I did not receive a payoff."  No one ever said she did.  Isn't it interesting that she brings this up?  Now another interesting area here at this point is Holli making the claim," let's get the new girl.",  What does that mean?  Is she saying she was setup?  Why would she even think that somehow she might have been setup?  

  Another interesting area is Holli's statement that she was only working the 911 call center until a loan came through for her to open up her present business, Sunrise Donuts. Try and get a 911 call center job sometime.  One goes through a lot to qualify for that job.  The background checks and intense interviews are not easy to pass.  It's not like getting a job at Wal Mart.  It's a career job.  A tough job no question about it, but it's not something one goes into while waiting for a loan.  

  Holli makes it very clear here that everyone at the Sheriff's office knew she hated her job?  

Is this why she thinks that maybe she was setup somehow?  And at the end of this first communication she claims that she was an outsider who could not wait to get out of her job as she was not comfortable there?  And why was she not comfortable?  That is very interesting.

Now here is Holli's second response;

Holli M Cohoon  1:32am Aug 9 

"Not long after leaving the sheriff's office, she gave false statements in court against the victim in our news stories and also received a very large sum of money from the Gloucester Sheriff's Office. 

 Not long after that, Holli opened a new business.. One could say that the Sunrise Donuts Shop has been financed by the tax payers of Gloucester County as the Sheriff's Office is not supposed to be a money making enterprise. The finances come from we the tax payers." 

 Whatever wording you choose.. the above sounds like a "payoff". Again, I did not recieve "a large sum of money" from the Sheriffs Office. Or any sum of money from the Sheriffs Office. No, I dont believe I was "set up" , my comment was facetious. I was simply the second chair dispatcher that day. I have given you my side of the story, the truth. Its just not nearly as exciting as the version you are posting. I find it interesting that you say you dont publish the so called "victims" name in your report, yet I am now a victim and you have no problem posting mine. I am being wrongfully accused of lying and being involved in a 'conspiracy", it is quite hurtful and damaging to my reputation. In reguards to the recent posting about how I got -  Name removed' - address for the Protective Order.. I was not assisted by the Sheriffs Office, I just"googled" her name. Just goes to show how something so simple can be turned around to a sinister nature. Again, I request that you do not post anything else about me or my business.

  The top part of this response has to do with another article written about Holli.  We received inside information from someone close to Holli who volunteered a great deal of news to us.  Everything we were able to check came out verified and one area we could not verify without breaking a number of laws, so in a case like this, one has to deem the information as being valid based on all other verified information.

  We could not report the exact statements given to us as it has the potential to reveal the person who gave us this information.  If that should happen, the person who revealed the information would then have to file protective orders against Holli in fear of retaliation.  With that said, we are still not revealing the exact information that was given to us and we are choosing to protect the informant.  To clarify though, there is no reason to believe that Holli received some kind of direct payoff for lying in court.  That was not our statement and never has been.

  The second part of this response deals with Holli now claiming to be a victim.  It's fair to say that she has become a victim.  While these responses have been going on, this is the same time that Holli had filed for protective orders against the victim in this case.  The first hearing was in Holli's favor but was contested and an appeal was filed.  The appeal was held a little over a week later.

  Judge Long heard the appeal, in our opinion, there is a clear conflict of interest here in having Judge Long hearing that appeal, we reported before the first hearing that judge Long was one of the people who should not hear this case because of potential conflicts of interest.  However, we have reviewed all the details on this case already and will not press that issue.  Based on information that came out in the protective order hearing, I have to side with Judge Long.  He was correct in granting the order.

  The details mainly are based on a video the victim shot outside of Holli's Sunrise Donuts shop and then posted the video on Facebook and then proceeded to post some comments afterwards that were considered to be a potential threat to Holli.  

  Now here is where the story continues to twist and turn and get even more bizarre.  The behavior could not be considered normal.  The victim has since been to a doctor and diagnosed as suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.  Please CLICK HERE  to see more about PTSD from the Mayo Clinic's website.  Though this does NOT justify the victim's actions, it does explain the victim;s actions against Holli,  

  The victim in this case has been through so much over the past several years that she keeps reliving the entire event of the illegal raid and all the issues that have followed.  The victim lives in a constant state of fear because of all of these issues.  She worries about suffering another illegal raid and even possibly being killed by the local Sheriff's Office Deputies or Animal Control Officers.  She also worries about what the courts may do and that they might try to lock her up.  This is an everyday event for her.  This is what numerous county officials and employees have created.  

  Now there are other interesting statements that Holli makes in her remarks.  She states that she has told the truth but is now being put into the middle of a conspiracy.  Does this mean that she knows that a conspiracy exists?  And if she knows that a conspiracy exists, why is she going along with it?  That would make her a part of the conspiracy and lying to cover it up.  Each time she has sent a response to us, she has had some very serious holes in her story that open a lot more questions.

http://www.facebook.com/holli.cohoon?sk=friends&v=friends&ft_ref=fbsa  Here is a link to Holli's friends page on Facebook.  She claims to not have been friends with people in the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office.  These remarks are right on this page in her own writing.   Her page sure tells another story.  She has a bunch of friends from the Gloucester County Sheriff's office.  But remember Holli does not lie.  She told us so herself numerous times.  In the event she removes these friends, we have taken numerous screen shots that show the state of friends on this date and time.  Friends from the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office, Animal Control and local county court system.

Sunrise Donuts Funded By Tax Payers? Holli M Cohoon Updated

Sunrise Donuts Funded By Tax Payers?

GVLN – Holli Cohoon 911 Operator Update

175,000 People Can't Be Wrong – Gloucester, VA Links and News

 

Well we have learned some very interesting facts about Holli Cohoon who was the 911 operator with the Gloucester County Sheriff's office during the time of the case we have been reporting on. Only weeks after she took the 911 call from the victim, she left the Sheriff's office. Not long after leaving the sheriff's office, she gave false statements in court against the victim in our news stories and also received a very large sum of money from the Gloucester Sheriff's Office.

View Larger Map

  

Not long after that, Holli opened a new business. Sunrise Donuts located on route 17 south in White Marsh next to the Hampton Tobacco shop, another business recently in our news spotlight. One could say that the Sunrise Donuts Shop has been financed by the tax payers of Gloucester County as the Sheriff's Office is not supposed to be a money making enterprise. The finances come from we the tax payers.

Local community reaction to the shop has been a mixed bag. Some complain about the higher prices and quality not being as good as other local competition, along with being an extra stop not worth making while others do not mind paying the higher costs and have no issues with the quality and limited selections.

Some of the complaints heard by local patrons is selections being sold out early with no more production for the day and being a chronic issue. Hours of operation have also been addressed as a concern by many locals.

News stories are starting to flood in about other extremely questionable activities stemming from Gloucester Animal Control. Our files are now bulging and our research is stretched and we will continue to collect all the files. Jeff Stillman has come into our recent spotlight along with the requests on him from his wife about animals she has wanted. We are investigating this story right now.

We are also now uncovering Monique Donner, Esq, ties to USERL and how she has been actively involved in highly questionable raids then acts as a prosecutor against those she was actively involved in said raids. Is there a question of ethics and a conflict of interest?

We have further learned how Gloucester Animal Control is tied in with USERL and have documentation that Gloucester Animal Control never dares raid a property that has horses without USERL when it comes to the bigger raids. Plus we have uncovered the financial scams that finance highly questionable raids throughout the nation and how they all work. Money that is funneled in by the ASPCA on raids where there are more than 12 horses on a property. Profits abound in these raids and then there is the collection of financial donations that certain non profit organizations take in on top of the money they make on these raids. What a business. Robin Hood is still alive and well but gives nothing to the poor.

In fact we have uncovered a demographic that raids fit into. Well off but not rich. Just enough money to be comfortable and maintain a comfortable lifestyle, but not wealthy enough to defend themselves in very expensive court battles. Even if they do mount an offensive, they normally can't afford the constant put offs normal in the court systems and also mounted by lawyers.

We continue to watch all of the pages Gloucesterva.info continues to put into the search engines to stave off any potential negative news that could potentially affect the county. The problem is that it is choking the local search engines from being able to show local community businesses as well, seriously hurting local commerce. More of your tax dollars working hard against you.
