Adam Kokesh Held Without Bond
WASHINGTON – Shackled with his hands behind him, wearing shorts and barefoot, veteran and activist Adam Kokesh was ordered held without bond on two felony drug charges in court Thursday morning.
Kokesh, a controversial activist seen loading a gun on video in D.C. last week, appeared before a camera in a wheelchair during his arraignment at a Fairfax County courthouse.
“He happened to be in a wheeled chair because he did not want to walk,” said 1st Lt Steve Elbert, Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office.
He refused to speak to the judge who asked him if he was Adam Kokesh.
The judge appointed a public defender for Kokesh.
Kokesh was to be arraigned Wednesday but he refused to get out of his cell, be photographed and fingerprinted following his Tuesday night arrest.
The arrest came after U.S. Park Police searched Kokesh’s home Tuesday evening.
A blog post on Kokesh’s website said he had been arrested.
The post notes that the Herndon police “assisted in the armed invasion” and the officers “used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant.”
A flash bang grenade was also used, according to Kokesh’s website.
Kokesh faces two drug charges, including one involving possession of a firearm. The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Department tells WTOP the charges are possession of a Schedule 1 or 2 drug and possession of a Schedule 1 or 2 drug while in possession of a firearm.
Kokesh is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
On July 4 a video was posted on YouTube showing Kokesh loading a shotgun in D.C’s Freedom Plaza, which is against the law in the District.
U.S Park Police and Herndon police tell WTOP they were at his home in Herndon, Va. Tuesday night, July 9, serving the search warrant.
Roads were blocked off near Kokesh’s home on Snowflake Court and his neighbors were told to stay inside.

Okay.
um did the search warrant list drugs? if not, excluded! that is not what they were there for, IF the search warrant did include drugs.. WHY DID IT INCLUDE DRUGS???
COPS LIE, COPS PLANT DRUGS!
Cops lying has become so prevalent that judges, attorneys, cops and prosecutors have a quaint nickname for when cops give testimony at trial, they call it testiLYNG! If that isn’t telling I don’t know what is!
Good. He’s a lunatic and deserves to be locked up.
more attacks on citizens by rabid anti American out of control cops with no limits
:poop:
Maybe Adam should try the juristictional issues, strawman common law arguments and make the court prove they have juristiction in the matter. Just a thought
I like your thought process, but Kokesh made the mistake (perhaps by design) of committing crimes on federal property/land. That’s just dumb or he’s an agent provocateur.
this could be anything, to begin with the cops did not like him because of the shotgun demonstration of his rights, and on the other hand why did he have drug(s) 1 or 2 class?
If we are going to demand our rights we need to be upstanding citizens, and we must also demand a thorough investigation regarding the drug charges.
Hey Adam! It would have been smarter to “green screen” the whole event and then use that as a scape goat situation.
Hey Guys! Gueass what! I was never in DC!
Much like Anderson Cooper in Sandy Hook or the CNN douche bags on the roof of the Atlanta building filming “gas attacks”.
Welcome to America, have a nice day!
Well well. The big bad policemens arresting someone. So why is this a story ? Folks that are prepared won’t be seen until it gets a bit more real.
There are definitely some bad apple cops out there with too much T in their system. Nothing will change for the better until Jesus returns to the Earth for His rule, and reign, and judgement.
