ANSWER TO PETITION TO DESTROY FIREARMS
AND NOW, comes Zack Brown, Defendant, and petitions Your Honorable Court
to order the return of the above described firearms to Miss Ruth Daniels, Defendant's
sister:
1. The Cumberland County Sheriffs Department currently has possession of
the above listed firearms, having been given to them by Amy Vanasdalan,
plaintiff, on June 23, 1999. Miss Vanasdalan was to return the firearms to
defendant's family in order for him to reside at Miss Vanasdalan's address
upon his release from prison in 1995. This was a condition given to Miss
Vanasdalan in order for Mr. Brown's home plan to be approved at her
residence.
2. The firearms were seized pursuant to an Order of Your Honorable Court
Dated, June 23, 1999, and entered at the above docket number 3834 Civil
1999. Without knowledge or consent of Mr. Brown, Miss Vanasdalan
stored the above listed firearms in the trunk of her car from 1995 until
June 23, 1999, at which time she turned them over to the Sheriffs
Department.
3. An Order of Protection From Abuse was issued, at which time Miss
Vanasdalan removed the firearms from her trunk and gave possession of
the firearms to the Sheriff s Department. At no time were the above listed
firearms in the possession of Mr. Brown. Nor was Mr. Brown aware the
firearms were in Miss Vanasdalan's trunk, until June 23, 1999, when she
made a malicious attempt to create more trouble and inconvenience for
Mr. Brown by handing them over to the Sheriffs Department.
4. The Defendant is requesting the return of the above listed firearms to his
sister, Miss Ruth Daniels. The return of the firearms would be a great
comfort to the family, who are the rightful owners of the firearms. The
listed firearms originally belonged to the deceased Mr. Rollie Brown,
Defendant's father. Mr. Rollie Brown has been deceased since 1979 at
which time the family (including 9 children) was left with the firearms as
a memory of thew father, and their many times together.
THEREFORE, the defendant respectfully requests Your Honorable Court to enter an
Order directing the return of the above described firearms.
Upon return of firearms, Mr. Zack Brown will have no contact with said firearms. They
will remain in the possession of Miss Ruth Daniels.
Very respectfully submitted,
Zack Brown

RE: =vil Hoffer,
I am responding to a letter received from the Office
of the Sheriff in regards to two weapons confiscated on 23
June 1999. Mr. Brown is currently incarcerated, therefore,
I am filing this request. I am his Power of Attorney. The
two items in question have been in the family for many
years, and the family is requesting the return of said
items. Mr. Brown is incarcerated and will have no contact
with these items. If the items are returned, possession
will be with Miss Mary Brown, mother of Zack Brown, or Ruth
Daniels, sister. These items belonged to the deceased
Raleigh Brown, Zack's father, giving sentimental value to
the family. Upon return of the items, a 22 cal. hunting
rifle, and a 30-30 cal. hunting rifle, they will be safely
stored away so no further incidents may arise concerning
these specific items.
on behalf of the family I would like to thank you for
your time and consideration on this matter. I may be
reached at 717-241-8021 regarding any concerns involving
this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

Approximate Date: On or about June 15, 1999
Approximate Time: Early afternoon
Place: 36 Spring Garden Estates, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, Plaintiffs residence.
On or about June 15, 1999, Plaintiff returned home in the early afternoon, and
found her door unlocked, possessions belonging to Defendant gone, and an album of
photographs of her child missing. Plaintiff telephoned the Pennsylvania State Police
for help, and telephoned Defendant's State Parole Officer, who confirmed that
Defendant had been released from the State Correctional Institution at Somerset the
day before. While PWntiff waited for the police to arrive at her residence, her friend,
James Duncan, who was in the car with her during the incident which occurred on
or about February 2, 1999, (see paragraph 12 (a)) telephoned her home and told her
that Defendant had come to his place of employment and assaulted him in the
parking lot. The Carlisle Police filed harassment charges against Defendant as a
result of the incident involving Mr. Duncan. In addition, Mr. Duncan's employer,
The Bon Ton Department Store in Carlisle, mailed Defendant a defiant trespass letter
12. Defendant has committed the following prior acts of abuse against Plaintiff or the
minor child:
a) On or about February 2, 1999, as Plaintiff sat in her parked car talking to her
friend, and with her 13-month old daughter in the car seat in the back seat, Defendant
rammed his car into the rear of her car, got out of his car carrying a baseball bat, and
yelled and screamed for Plaintiff to get out of the car, causing her to fear he was
going to beat her with the bat. As Plaintiff tried to start her car to drive away,
Defendant struck the rear driver's side window with the bat, shattering the glass,
causing it to spray into the car striking the baby, Plaintiff and her friend. Plaintiff got
the car started and drove to the Carlisle Police Department for help. The police took
pictures of the baby's face, head, and hands where she sustained numerous
lacerations from the flying glass. The police filed charges against Defendant for
simple assault, criminal mischief, endangering another person, and endangering the
welfare of a child. Defendant, who was on parole at the time, was arrested and
placed in Cumberland County Prison, was further detained for violation of his parole,
and was returned to SCI Somerset to serve out the remainder of his original sentence
from a prior conviction pending the trial on the above listed criminal charges which
is scheduled the week of July 19, 1999. Defendant was released from SCI Somerset
on or about June 14, 1999.
b) In or about late January 1999, Defendant accused Plaintiff of lying, repeatedly
pounded on the washing machine with a metal flashlight, denting the machine, went
over to the bed where Plaintiff sat, yelled at her, "Lies, lies, lies, and more lies." and
pounded on the bed with the flashlight several times, causing her to fear he was going
to hit her with it.
C) In or about early January 1999, Defendant yelled at Plaintiff that she was
lying to him, ran down the hallway toward her, threw the contents ofa bottle of soda
on her, lunged at her, and slapped her on the face. When Plaintiff told Defendant that
she would call the police if he hit her again, he threatened her saying, "I don't need
to hit you; I'll get one of my sisters to beat you up."
d) In or about late December 1998, on several occasions Defendant stalked and
harassed plaintiff by going to her place of employment and waiting for her to get off
work to make sure she was not with someone else; falsely accused her and threatened
to make a scene at her work place, causing her to lose her job if she was late getting
home from work; and if Plaintiff was late returning from visiting her parents,
Defendant drove to their home in Mt. Holly Springs looking for her.
e) From approximately 1992 through February 2, 1999, Defendant abused
Plaintiff in ways including, but not limited to, intimidating her by yelling and
screaming at her while jabbing his finger toward her face, restraining her from
leaving by standing in the doorway and/or pacing back and forth in front of the door,
and during one incident, grabbing her by the arm with such force that she sustained
bruising about her arm as a result. Defendant also threatened Plaintiff telling her that
if he ever found her with someone else, he would break out all the windows in her
car.
f) In or about 1992, Defendant argued with Plaintiff, falsely accused her, shoved
her down onto the bed, examined her body looking for signs that she had been with
someone else, grabbed her neck pushing her against the mattress, and threatened her
saying, "You know, I could choke you to death right now". Then Defendant reached
down behind the bed, pulled out a rifle, pointed it at Plaintiff, and further threatened
her saying, "You'd better not be lying to me." When Defendant released Plaintiff,
she got dressed as though she was going to work as scheduled, but went directly to
the Carlisle Police Department and reported the incident. The police photographed
the bruising and red marks about Plaintiffs neck that she sustained as a result of this
incident.
13. Defendant has used or threatened to use the following weapons against Plaintiff or
the minor child: weapons including, but not limited to a rifle and a baseball bat.
14. The following police departments or law enforcement agencies in the area in which
