A Hubbard couple has filed another lawsuit claiming they have been the victims of a more than 11 year “campaign of tyranny against them and invasion of their rights, designed to harass, intimidate, terrorize, and retaliate against them.

Rick and Lucinda Krlich filed a civil lawsuit in federal court against the City of Hubbard, Law Director Mark Villano, and Hubbard Police Sgt. William Fisher.

The couple says in their complaint that people, some of them city officials, have been driving by their home on East Liberty Street revving their car’s engines, screeching tires, and honking their horns, sometimes for as long as five  to ten minutes. The lawsuit states there have been “thousands” of such events.

The suit claims that the law director and Sgt. Fisher not only did nothing to stop the alleged harassment, but that Fisher encouraged or even participated.

The Krlich’s claim the alleged harassment has been going on since a feud with a former fire chief over a land purchase dispute in 2007.

This is not the first time the Krlich’s have sued over harassment allegations.

Last year, U.S. District judge Benita Pearson ruled against the couple who had sued Hubbard’s fire department. The judge earlier removed the city, its police chief, and Trumbull County as defendants in the case.

The couple has also in the past sued neighbors in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court over “emotional distress”.

Neither the law director, nor Sgt. Fisher have filed a response to the suit. 21 News has reached out to both men seeking comment.
