Few details about Marx were known, though Piper said he had been known to authorities for some time. Marx had filed a civil rights complaint against the sheriff’s department in 2013, according to court records.

The complaint accused the sheriff’s department of using excessive force and illegal searches. Marx said in the complaint that officers hit him when he was standing with his hands up, used chemical agents to make him believe an explosion or fire had occurred and used an extra set of handcuffs that cut off circulation to his hands.

I got stuck in the traffic around the courthouse. Took nearly an hour to get through town.

Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense does it? At any courthouse there are cops all around the place. We recently got a new courthouse built, and one of the reasons was the old one was, besides being old and too small, was being near a middle school on adjoining property and a elementary school a mile away......................
