He did four months in jail for that stunt.<\/p>\n<p>Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcwashington.com\/news\/local\/Gun-Rights-Activist-Arrested-as-Fugitive-of-Justice-419214824.html\">he was arrested by Secret Service agents<\/a> in front of the White House on a fugitive warrant for not showing up for court in Maryland when he caused a ruckus at a TSA screening point at BWI airport.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kokesh was at the White House to protest the U.S. bombing of Syria, according to one of the protest participants. Heather Mullins said things were just about to begin when he was approached by Secret Service officers.<\/p>\n<p>Mullins said the TSA conducted an investigation into the airport incident and decided to let Kokesh off with a warning. However, the citation he was issued required him to appear in court in Glen Burnie, Maryland, which he apparently did not do.<\/p>\n<p>At a court appearance Tuesday, a judge declined to grant Kokesh bail and sent him back to jail. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcmessenger.com\/2018\/news\/presidential-candidate-arrested-for-drugs\/\">Earlier this year<\/a>, he was arrested in Texas on a drug beef.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>DPS spokesman Lt. Lonny Haschel said in an email Kokesh was stopped around 12:45 p.m. Tuesday for a traffic violation on U.S. 380 in Decatur. During the stop, troopers called for a K-9 officer. The K-9 alerted on Kokesh\u2019s recreational vehicle, which led to a search where officers found Kokesh to be in possession of drugs, according to Haschel.<\/p>\n<p>Kokesh filmed the traffic stop, and the video has been uploaded to his YouTube page. In the video, Trooper Patrick Garcia tells Kokesh he was stopped for going 74 mph in a 65 mph zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point in time the dog did alert, so we\u2019re going to a whole \u2018nother level,\u201d Garcia says. He then tells Kokesh to turn off the camera.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I should probably mention that Kokesh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=17771\">tried and failed to run for Congress<\/a> in his home state of New Mexico in 2010 as a Republican with support from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=17718\">Stuart Rhodes at the Oath Keepers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And now he wants to be your President on the Libertarian ticket. His goal is to dismantle the Federal Government on his first day in office, he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone spotted this hideous affront to the senses in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania yesterday; Adam Kokesh, Iraq veteran &hellip; <a title=\"Kokesh for President\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=78062\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kokesh for President<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/77262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
