Tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown were tricked by US Marshals
who entered their home yesterday afternoon posing
as supporters. The Marshals entered the house at
a time when there were no other supporters present and catching
the Browns off guard were able to arrest them and remove them
from the property.
As we reported
earlier this morning, the speculation was that the Browns were
infiltrated and tricked before being violently subdued as authorities
refuse to provide any details behind their arrest beside the fact
that they did not peacefully surrender.
It is still unclear whether any violence was used
to apprehend the Browns, all that is known is that they are now
in federal custody and have begun serving their 63 month sentence.
Marshals spoke at a press conference at the federal
courthouse in Concord NH today.
WMUR News 9 carried the conference:

U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier has commented:
"Ultimately, this open-door policy that they
seemed to have which allowed the Browns to have some supporters
bring them supplies, welcome followers and even host a picnic
--this proved to be their undoing. They invited us in. We escorted
them out."
A small team of marshals pulled off the ruse, arresting
the Browns without incident on the couple’s front porch,
Monier told
local press.
Reports are suggesting that weapons have been seized
at the property including "explosive devices", and "booby
traps" which were placed in the woods. Monier added that
the Browns may face further charges relating to the weapons.
Monier also added that officials have encountered
no retaliatory action from supporters of the Browns as yet, but
warned that any further supportive actions at this time could
result in federal charges.
