neck of the woods, Duhneece!

Mahalo!

I wish they'd put him UNDER the jail!

These people are truly looney

Criminals
Lock them up!

I saw cowboys and messed up.

since the local courts put the kibosh on the political ladder to glory.

Anybody seen a video?

that was sentenced to 14 days in jail and later in 2022 was the person disqualified from holding office under the 14th amendment.

A county official in New Mexico who was convicted of entering a restricted area during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol must be immediately removed from office for his involvement in an insurrection, a judge decided Tuesday.

District Court Judge Francis Mathew ruled that Couy Griffin, an Otero County commissioner, is now disqualified from holding public office because he violated Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment by participating in the Jan. 6 siege.

"He took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States ... [and then] engaged in that insurrection after taking his oath," Judge Mathew wrote.

The decision against Griffin, who made headlines earlier this year by refusing to certify his county's election results, comes after some similar, high-profile Fourteenth Amendment challenges to incumbent lawmakers across the country failed.

That people like this were the people who had watched "Red Dawn" too many times and that used to be the case veterans (that I knew) who had strong America 1st pov's and that whole American exceptionalism thing but at heart they were good people. The current crop of conservative/republican members are not that they don't care about anything except power to do as they please and there is no end that wont justify the means for these people. The speed that the GOP has broke bad after decades of a fairly simple but solid unifying message and party direction in defense, fiscal actions, law & order, unbelievable.

Of his arrest.
On Facebook if you ‘Friend’ or message me at Denise Lang-Browne, I can share video.

Did they say why he was arrested?

Maybe an old arrest vid?

It’s valuable to have people here who question if there could be other explanations. Whether this is true or not, I appreciate you pointing out possibilities. Makes DU a better place.

I’m really grateful right now.

I expect tomorrow might be a better coverage day. Alamogordo is listed as the County Seat of Otero County. Was looking at some pics and it looks like it's a car commercial vista (although with over 30,000 living there)!

Not many details, but it has a link to the video

It's a landlord/tenant dispute. Griffin is the landlord and, apparently a shitty one.

Interesting that three judges recused themselves from the case.

It seems Griffin has a criminal matter on his plate now too.

he was county commissioner.
He grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh when his dad worked for a New Mexico County Sheriff (he may have been sheriff) Office.

He’s sick. Dangerously sick. His supporters are just as vile.

Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin arrested

Couy Griffin, a former Otero County commissioner who was ousted after being convicted for his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, was arrested last week on harassment and trespassing charges in connection with a dispute between Griffin and a man who was staying at a residence owned by Griffin’s family.

Parts of the dispute between Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, and Dewayne Braithwaite were filmed and posted online by Braithwaite. He had moved from Maryland to Dusty Lane in Otero County, where he and Griffin had agreed that Braithwaite would make renovations in exchange for room and board, according to a criminal complaint filed in Otero County Magistrate Court.

Video footage of a five-minute fight between he, Griffin and another man was posted to TikTok.

Griffin didn’t comment when reached on Tuesday.

According to the most recent complaint, Braithwaite had been staying at the residence in Otero County. His relationship with Griffin deteriorated and Griffin tried to evict Braithwaite from the property.

His attorney was shot and killed two weeks ago (unrelated, seemingly)… he can’t run for office (yay!) and he can’t stay out of trouble.
