How Perry Law Targeted My Elder With a False Report in the Dominic Foppoli Trial

On August 12, 2026, I sent a media request email to Esquire Traci Carrillo, Perry Law, asking her to explain why she intentionally filed a false police report against my elder, Michael Hilber. In my email, I wrote:

“Can you kindly confirm why you intentionally filed a false police report against my elder, Michael Hilber? He was threatened with arrest based on completely false accusations and intimidation.”

The police report Carrillo filed became Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office informational case SD260716009. The report itself states:

“This case involves social media posts by an individual which possibly contained confidential information from courtroom testimony.”

The report lists Carrillo as the reporting party and identifies Hilber as “Other Involved.” It does not identify any crime, any statute violated, or any evidence that Hilber posted confidential information. It is explicitly labeled “INFORMATIONAL REPORT” and “NIBRS Non Reportable Local Code,” which confirms that no criminal conduct was found.

MY EXPERIENCE IN THE OPEN COURTROOM

The Dominic Foppoli hearing was open to the public. I was present. Michael Hilber was present. Anyone in that courtroom was legally allowed to observe and discuss what happened. There was no confidentiality order, no sealed proceeding, and no admonishment from the judge or bailiff. Posting updates from an open court session is not illegal in California.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND INTIMIDATION

Despite that, Carrillo reported Hilber to law enforcement. The sheriff’s report contains no evidence, no witness statements, and no supporting documentation. It simply records Carrillo’s allegation and lists Hilber as involved.

After that report, a deputy went to Hilber’s home and threatened him with arrest. My elder had done nothing wrong. He attended a public hearing and quietly observed the proceedings. The threat of arrest was based entirely on Carrillo’s unverified statements.

A PATTERN OF MISCONDUCT

Carrillo represents the Jane Does in the Foppoli matter. Her decision to file a false report against a community elder raises serious concerns about misuse of law enforcement, intimidation of the public, and attempts to control public discussion of an open court case.

Filing a knowingly false police report violates California Penal Code 148.5. Using law enforcement to intimidate a taxpayer who attended a public hearing undermines public trust and suggests selective enforcement and abuse of authority.

MY CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

The public has the right to attend court, the right to discuss public proceedings, and the right to be free from retaliatory police action. Hilber’s involvement was lawful, peaceful, and protected. Carrillo’s report, unsupported by evidence, triggered an unnecessary and frightening law enforcement response against an elderly man who simply exercised his civic rights.

The sheriff’s document itself confirms there was no crime. It records only Carrillo’s allegation and marks the case as informational.

I asked Carrillo to explain her actions. As of now, she has provided no justification for filing a false report or for the intimidation directed at my elder.
