We first wrote about Adam Kokesh nearly eleven years ago<\/a> when he staged some sort of protest on the Washington Mall against the Iraq War. The last we heard from him, he was trying to stay out of jail after his arrest for drugs<\/a> in Virginia when marshals served him an arrest warrant for when he possessed a loaded weapon in downtown DC.<\/p>\n

Well, he filed to be the Libertarian candidate for the 2020 presidential election, last week and within 30 minutes of the filing, he was stopped twice in Texas and arrested for drug possession again according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point and time the dog did alert so we\u2019re going to a whole \u2019nother level,\u201d the trooper said while Kokesh was recording.<\/p>\n

Before he turned off the camera, Kokesh said: \u201cIf you don\u2019t hear from me, please come find me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement released by his girlfriend, Kokesh called his arrest a \u201cgross miscarriage of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kokesh was booked into the Wise County Jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance-penalty group one and two, tampering with evidence and possession of marijuana. Bail has been set at $76,500, according to Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the search, troopers located evidence and arrested Mr. Kokesh,\u201d said DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel.<\/p>\n

Akin said his office started getting besieged with calls from Libertarian organizations on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ben Farmer, Kokesh\u2019s chief strategist for the presidential campaign, is in Decatur and said that they are asking the district attorney to reduce Kokesh\u2019s bail to zero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And a fine president he’d make, too;<\/p>\n
