"Officials" of unrecognized tribe get legal lesson in not filing bogus liens
From the Bismarck Tribune:
"
A U.S. District Court judge has sentenced two members of an unrecognized Native American tribe to prison for placing $3.4 million liens against a federal judge and a federal prosecutor. One of the men also was sentenced for threatening another federal judge.
Michael Howard Reed, 50, was convicted in October of making threats against U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson and for placing a false lien against U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Jordheim, who was acting U.S. Attorney for North Dakota at the time.
Gregory A. Davis, 44, also was convicted in October for the false liens."
