Additional Info:

To this day, Ms. Tyler sufferers from gastrointestinal complications and is still under medical care to try find the cause of resolution to the swelling and bleeding problem to end the pain and the suffering she has continued to endure. The suit aligns the workbooks, materials and practices and ties in Scientology, Narconon International and ABLE management and policies. This includes the sauna component with Scientology's Purification Rundown. Scientology recruitment occurs at this facility.

Plaintiff's boyfriend, John Debay, who arranged and paid for program, as well as an initial Narconon intake worker referred intervention, was told many lies about the program to gain his acceptance and help to get Ms Tyler to attend. The lies include high graduation and success rates, a medically supervised program and therapy , all of which never existed. Narconon Freedom Center staff member Ryan Daniel, 'Intake Counselor', arranged for 'interventionist Brian Basel' to pick up and bring Ms. Tyler to Battle Creek from Ann Arbor. On the way, Basel agreed to stop at Ms. Tyler's home so she could get some crack cocaine. Upon arrival, Basel took the remains of the crack cocaine from Ms. Tyler, who shorty after arriving tried to leave the facility to get the remains from his car but was prevented from doing so. They were not informed it was a Scientology based program. Multiple attempts were made by staff to recruit Ms. Tyler to attend the local Church of Scientology despite her refusal.

This case has been dismissed at the request of the Plaintiff and will be refiled in Michigan.
