Introduction
For over two decades, Kevin Lindke and his family have been known figures in St. Clair County, Michigan. Not for leadership or community service, but for a deeply troubling pattern of behavior involving criminal activity, online harassment, frivolous litigation, and manipulative activism. Often hiding behind causes like child protection or government transparency, Kevin Lindke and his family has repeatedly weaponized misinformation and social media to target individuals, violate court orders, and promote his personal vendettas. This article compiles verified public records, court documents, and firsthand accounts to provide a summarized factual overview of his conduct.
Who Is Kevin Lindke?
Name: Kevin James Lindke
DOB: March 13, 1980
Known Addresses:
3445 Saint Clair Shores Blvd, East China, MI (his mother’s home)
1407 Juniper Ct, Columbus, MI (girlfriend’s trailer in Pinewood)
Lindke has no known legal employment, no long-term residence in his name, and an extensive criminal history across multiple states. He has used his Facebook group, “Through My Eyes”, to rally support, spread false accusations, and incite harassment. At the time of this report, he was wanted on multiple bench warrants and in hiding, reportedly either at his mother Jamie Murray’s residence or his girlfriend Amber Kinder’s.
Criminal History Overview
Lindke’s criminal record begins at age 17 and continues well into his 40s. Charges include (but far from limited to):
Domestic violence (1997) – Attacked his mother Jamie Murray in a drunken rage
Multiple alcohol-related offenses (1998-2000) – Like his biological father, Kevin Lindke had a drinking problem from a young age that caused a motor vehicle accident resulting in severe injuries and property damage
Trespassing, speeding, and court no-shows (2000 – Present) – Kevin Lindke believes he can choose when he appears in court
Possession of a forgery device (2002, AZ) – Felony credit card fraud using a skimming device, as an adult
Felony assault, resisting arrest, and throwing a brick at a police vehicle (2003) – Attempted bodily harm on an officer by throwing a deadly weapon at him while performing duties
Operating while intoxicated (2005) – Still unable to stop drinking
Fraud and civil claims exceeding $20,000
Drug charges: marijuana possession and manufacturing (2010s) – Caught transporting large amounts of cannabis
Cyberbullying, stalking, and unlawful computer use (2020 – Present) – Coordinated revenge campaign against his ex and anyone who disagrees with him or his family
Across this timeline, Lindke has faced over a dozen bench warrants, served multiple jail sentences, and racked up more than $100,000 in fines.
Personal Protection Orders & Custody History
Kevin Lindke’s ex-partner, the mother of his child, has been granted multiple PPOs against him. Verified claims include:
Repeated online harassment and cyberstalking
Threats and physical abuse
Sharing explicit images without consent
Court records show that:
Kevin Lindke was ordered to undergo multiple psychological evaluations
His parenting time was restricted to supervised visits
He violated PPOs on at least three separate occasions
In addition, relatives of his ex (an aunt, uncle, and grandmother) and other members of the public were also granted PPOs citing harassment, threats, and trespassing. These incidents are well-documented in Michigan Court of Appeals opinions.
Frivolous Lawsuits and Legal Abuse
Kevin Lindke has developed a pattern of using lawsuits to retaliate against judges, city officials, and critics. Cases include:
Lindke v. James Freed (Port Huron City Manager): Dismissed
Lindke v. Judge Cynthia Lane: Dismissed
Lindke v. Judge John Tomlinson: Dismissed after appeal
Lindke v. Dinoto: Dismissed for lack of legal merit
Lindke v. Jeff Bohm / War Water / Kris Paul / Thomas Schweihofer: Dismissed for lack of legal merit
Murray v. Jeff Bohm / War Water / Kris Paul / Thomas Schweihofer: Dismissed for lack of legal merit
Murray v. Dinoto: Non-monetary settlement between parties
All lawsuits cite alleged First Amendment violations tied to social media moderation or court rulings. These cases have consumed taxpayer resources with no favorable outcomes for Lindke. His legal representation, when not representing himself, has been through a mixture of malicious lawyers including Phillip L. Ellison (Outside Legal Counsel), Lisa D. Stern (Hertz Schram), and Christopher Nesi (DFWN PLC), and has yet to win a case. As a wanted felon, these lawyers have all violated legal ethics and established law by knowing assisting Kevin Lindke with his abuse through the court system.
Political Aspirations & Public Disruption
In 2020, Lindke attempted to run for Mayor of Port Huron but was denied due to falsified residency information. Investigators concluded he fabricated information and did not legally reside at the address listed on his application. In 2022, Lindke was forcibly removed from a Port Huron City Council meeting after using his speaking time to hurl personal accusations unrelated to the agenda. He filmed the event and later threatened officers on camera, violating city conduct laws. In 2023 Kevin Lindke physically assaulted a critic at a public meeting, a charge he would later be found guilty of and serve more time in jail.
Community Conflicts and Online Harassment
Through his Facebook group, Through My Eyes, Lindke has:
Posted pictures of his child in violation of court orders – Currently wanted on multiple bench warrants for PPO violations related to these actions
Used the group to incite harassment toward daycare owners, business leaders, nonprofit organizers, government officials, and critics – His cult followers rarely think for themselves, and Kevin Lindke is a master at twisting details to fulfil his personal agenda
Labeled local residents as pedophile enablers without evidence – If Kevin Lindke or his family decide they don’t like you, they fabricate information in an attempt to turn the public’s perception against you
Created AI-generated media to fabricate events – Besides faking text messages, phone calls, private messages, and emails, Kevin Lindke also created a fake news website to generate fabricated slam pieces through the use of AI
Bullied critics into silence (or worse) – At least two critics of Kevin Lindke have been taunted and bullied into going missing
His group has since been mockingly rebranded by others as the “Cult of Kevin” due to its increasingly conspiratorial tone – At one point Kevin himself joked about his cult with a picture of a new tattoo
Accusations Against Community Figures
Lindke has publicly accused multiple business owners, daycare staff, government officials, critics, and even sexual assault prevention advocates of heinous crimes, often without proof. These include:
Cozy Corner Daycare: Accused of enabling sexual offenders (cleared by state investigation)
Girl on Fire founder: Slandered despite retraction demands
Local tattoo artist and shop owner: Accused via vague screenshots and unverifiable messages
Multiple government officials: Accused of malicious intent in their official position, cleared via multiple frivolous lawsuits
Verbal critics: Almost everyone that disagrees with Kevin Lindke is vaguely accused of crimes, usually related to sexual assault
These campaigns frequently escalate into threats and defamatory posts, costing innocent parties time, money, and reputation.
The June 9th PPO Hearing & Aftermath
Lindke appeared in court in June 2022 on multiple PPO violations. He attempted to have a courtroom observer removed (the original author), citing this very article. The judge denied all motions, and another PPO violation was added. After the hearing, Lindke and family members followed the article’s author to his car, blocked his exit, and filmed the confrontation. The footage shows Kevin Lindke and his family engaging in harassment and unlawful restraint, requiring police intervention. The Port Huron prosecutor later declined to press charges, stating excessive government resources were already being dedicated to other criminal cases involving Kevin and his family. Despite clear video evidence, Lindke posted the clip proudly on Facebook. Comments were largely critical of his behavior.
Final Thoughts
Kevin Lindke has spent nearly three decades defying court orders, attacking community members, and exploiting causes for personal gain. His behavior has been described by multiple judges as obsessive, aggressive, and legally abusive. This article exists to consolidate public information and allow others to evaluate the facts themselves. It is not a smear campaign, it is documentation. If the Lindke family continues to pursue political office or public influence, the community deserves full transparency.
