A Virginia Sheriff's deputy was indicted by a federal grand jury last Thursday after he allegedly used asset forfeiture in his personal life to seize over $200,000 from the Loudoun County asset forfeiture fund. In essence, he stands accused of doing the exact same thing his bosses do to everyone else. From InsideNova: Frank Michael Pearson, 44, of Winchester, was indicted on four counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal benefits. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted. He is scheduled to appear in court July 24 for an arraignment before U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis III.Chapman said they've since fixed the problem so "there should be no way this can happen again." Unfortunately, the same can't be said of their asset forfeiture program as a whole, for which they can seize citizens property for any reason based on mere suspicion. For some reason, when they're the ones getting their (previously stolen) property stolen they want to make a big deal out of it. _ Chris runs the website InformationLiberation.com.
