BACK AGAIN AT THE STANDOFF...
June 07, 2007
It looks like things are getting interesting at the Brown residence. Convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown have holed themselves up in their fortified New Hampshire home since their convictions in January on criminal tax charges.
A Boston TV station reports:
PLAINFIELD, N.H. -- Neighbors of convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown reported police SWAT teams and at least one armored vehicle converged on a field near the Browns' Plainfield home Thursday morning.
Federal and state authorities haven't commented on whether they are moving in to arrest the fugitives, and the local police, the governor's office and the U.S. attorney's office referred calls to the U.S. marshal's office, which has been negotiating with the Browns since their tax evasion conviction in January.
So much for operational secrecy. Let's hope this ends peacefully.
A photo on the "Official: Ed Brown Video Blog" shows that fringe politics makes strange bedfellows:
No word yet on whether Rosie O'Donnell and Ron Paul are prepared to intervene.
