Terror in Kemmerer, Wyoming

Terror in Kemmerer, Wyoming [Max] stood on the sidewalk in front of the court house and took a picture of the house across the street. At that moment the officer came up and told him to put his arms behind his back. Max asked, "Am I under arrest?" The officer told him that he was. "For what?" he asked. The officer replied, "For trespassing and being a 'pain in the ass'." He began to walk him toward the jail. Cole picked up the camera and took several photos of the policeman taking him away. As they were walking Max asked the officer to read him his Miranda rights. The policeman stated, "I don't have to read you your rights because you don't have any." It gets worse.

I was told about this by members of the Utah music scene. The family is broke from the hospital bills.

My guess, assuming this went down as described, and I don't see any particular reason to think otherwise, is that the sheriff in that town is running drugs out of the house in question.
