There is always more to the story. If he actually had gone to court some of that story would have been told.
When I said more to the story, I did not mean the interaction with the man and the arresting officer, I meant the sheriff who refused to come pick him up. How is someone to dangerous to arrest? That is ridiculous. They must have been buddies or something.

He was arrested for UCW in 1999 and assault on a peace officer. He bit the trooper who arrested him. He never went to court and instead held up and never left his 47 acre compound. Charges were dropped 14yrs later when the DA left office. He got away with it because the Sheriff determined it was too risky to try to bring him to justice. This is a victory for the criminal and those who oppose no-knock warrants.
That sheriff should of not been sheriff in the first place. Victory for the criminal yes but I don't see a connection to no knock warrants.
