Spencer now facing only one charge for incident

By Nate Searing Herald/Review

SIERRA VISTA -- American Border Patrol President Glenn Spencer will be arraigned in Justice Court 5 in Sierra Vista Tuesday after a being formally charged with felony disorderly conduct last week.

Spencer, 66, picked up his summons for the charge from the Cochise County sheriff's office in Sierra Vista on Wednesday. A grand jury indicted him on Aug. 22.

The charge stems from an incident on Aug. 1 in which Spencer allegedly fired a gun near his home at Equestrian Avenue and Yaqui Street.

The shots, which came at about 9:30 p.m., were heard by an off-duty Cochise County sheriff's deputy and a neighbor in the area who reported damage from the gunfire to her garage door, said Carol Capas, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Department.

Spencer was arrested Aug. 2 and initially charged with three counts of disorderly conduct for reckless discharge of the weapon, a count of felony endangerment and a count of criminal damage.

He told police he was attempting to scare away trespassers on his land after deputies did not promptly respond to several robberies at the American Border Patrol headquarters earlier in the week, the Sheriff's Department report stated.

American Border Patrol is a private organization that has garnered national attention for it efforts to monitor illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The nonprofit group is not associated with the U.S. Border Patrol.

And the saga of the American Border Patrol's actions and perhaps persecution, but we will find out continue.

No doubt that the open-borders nut cases are trying to set Spencer and Simcox, et al, up. I hope this backfires on their scurvy butts, too.

Imagine Kali and the Southwest under President Hitlery and Governor Bustamante.....

Imagine Kali and the Southwest under President Hitlery and Governor Bustamante.....

I honestly don't think it could ever get much worse than it is now, and I am getting the feeling that these deplorable squatters are in for a very big thrill sometime soon..... no matter who is in office. The driver's license thing is a very big deal, and Bush has not done anything to stop this huge threat to national security. Big mistake, I think. Very big mistake.

Collossal titanic mistake of historic proportions. History books will mark it as the dam's bursting.

One small piece of evidence of the turning of the tide is the heat Bustamante is taking for his membership in MecHa.

There was a time that illuiminating these racist organizations was verboten. The opposition was too cowed and intimidated by the P.C. crowd.

When in the secrecy of the polling booth, Californians (and citizens of other states) have forthrightly voted against giveaways to illegal immigrants, against bi-lingual education, against affirmative action, and I expect, will vote against racial identification in this up-coming election.

Yes , the dam is goig to burst, and it will be against the elitists of both political parties that won't listen to the popular will.

I hope it does burst, rather than continuing the current capitulation to irredetist Mexico and its fellow travelers in this country, or allowing the situation to continue where property owners on the borders end up with blood on their hands simply because the politicians won't protect them.
