Re: 15 year armed standoff in Texas ends

I'm not sure what the offense was in 1999 but assault on a peace officer is a F/3.

This man broke the law (whether you agree he had the right to carry at the time) by assaulting an officer, locked himself up on his property where he had firepower and manpower to prevent law enforcement from getting him? This can not be the whole story...
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.
