New Hampshire Tax Protesters in Stand-off with Federal Marshals Part 13

  There is not much to write about on the convicted tax evaders, Ed and Elaine Brown, who have been in a stand-off with federal marshals since their conviction in January. However, several of their supporters were arrested last night in different states.

Four men were arrested yesterday in four different states on charges they each helped convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown of Plainfield remain fugitives from the law.

“These are very serious charges and carry severe penalties, should they be found guilty,” said U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier, who announced the arrests last night.

Charges against the four range from accessory after the fact to possession and use of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

  This comes as some of the Brown’s supporters are already deserting him.

“Brown has ignored, on many occasions throughout the years, the good council (sic) of some valiant, focused, hard-working freedom fighters whom, unfortunately, exemplify a larger spiritual vision, and a more finely tuned sense of balance and reason than does Brown,” said a recent e-mail from Bill Miller, an ex-military exercise trainer who left the Browns’ fortress-like home in February.

  Something has to happen in this case soon, this has already gone on far too long with nothing happening.
