*DENVER* -- Once
again, four members of the Americans for Justice Militia entered a judge's
office to place a sitting judge under arrest.
At 9:45
this morning the small, unarmed group arrived at the 2nd istrict
Court (1437 Bannock
Street), flashed
their AJM credentials,
and instructed the clerk to escort them to Judge Wilson's office.
Judge Wilson was read the charges and was peacefully arrested by Denver AJM
members Tom Cooley, William Adamson, Jeffrey Wilson (no relation), and Cynthia
Washington. The four calmly walked the arrested judge without handcuffs to the
neighboring police station for booking and incarceration, pending a bail
hearing.
Police Captain Hermano Gutierrez refused to comment, but William Anderson, a
senior AJM member, read the following statement for the
media:
"Judges in Denver
and throughout Colorado were first put on notice by Rick Stanley in 2002. Every
judge has taken an oath to uphold and
defend the constitutions of the United States and the State of Colorado, and the
citizens of Colorado have the right and the duty to enforce that
oath. Judges who show blatant disregard for the law are held accountable to the
law, if not by our hired servants in government then by the
citizens themselves. Regretably, this is our nineteenth arrest. We would prefer
this to be the last, but that is entirely up to the judges."
The militia dispersed by 10:15 a.m. when they returned to their full-time jobs
as store clerk (Cooley), programmer (Adamson),
elementary school teacher (Wilson), and peace officer (Washington).
