Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.
A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that’s the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with it’s obstructing an officer charge against him.
“Me, I’m more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we’re going to get through this,” Jared’s father Allen Lardieri said. “I don’t think it should have ever gotten this far.”
The Logan County Police Department initially claimed that the at-the-time 8th grade Logan Middle School student was arrested for disturbing the education process, obstructing an officer and Lardieri says that officers even went as far as threatening to charge Jared with making terroristic threats.
“In my view of the facts, Jared didn’t do anything wrong,” Ben White, Jared’s attorney said. “I think officer Adkins could have done something differently.”
Prosecuting attorney Michael White refused to respond to any questions, as did Logan Police.
We obtained official court documents from both sides of this case. On one hand, the arresting officer from the Logan City Police Department, James Adkins, claims that when Jared refused to stop talking, that hindered his ability to do his job, hence, the obstruction charge. On the other side, Ben White points out that nowhere in the arresting officer’s petition, does it mention Jared ever making any threats or acting in a violent manner.
“Every aspect of this is just totally wrong,” Lardieri said. “He has no background of anything criminal, up until now and it just seems like nobody wants to admit they’re wrong.”
Ben White says he will continue working to have the charges against Jared dismissed. If that doesn’t happen in the coming weeks, Jared will be back in court on July 11th.
this reporter who says shes workin for us at end of report…she doesnt like herself ..{weave}.. how is she gonna like us ?
No mention of exactly what action on the part of the kid constituted “obstructing an officer”, but I guess it doesn’t matter.They can always invent something later.
Ben WHITE is Jareds (scumbag) attorney
Michael WHITE is the (scumbag) prosecutor This must be one “kosher” little court.

What country did that happen in?
HAD ENOUGH yet?
I think this is part of the conditioning which the Nazis understood. Basically if they can imprison a young lad for doing nothing wrong they can imprison anybody out of hand. It is not what he’s done but the message he conveys by going to jail as an innocent.
At the moment this conditioning is limited to imprisonment but I suspect if they get to the point of total unaccountability, as did the Nazis in the end, they may lynch a few people indiscriminately just to get the terror across. That’s what they appear to be doing already when law enforcement respond brutally to certain calls, killing people. Soon those calls won’t be necessary; killings and terror will be spontaneous.
you need a mind wiping, and then an honest history lesson on WW2.
So talking to a police officer is now “obstructing an officer”? Man they truly have to eliminate ALL PENAL CODES and ALL CIVIL COURTS. That is the only reason why these things have gotten this far. Penal codes were discretionary codes NOT LAWS, now they have turned them into LAWS for anything and everything without discretion whatsoever. If they don’t like you, that’s enough for them to arrest you. The people need to make a law to get rid of ALL PENAL CODES!!
So far…
This kind of oath breaker hasn’t crossed my path. I won’t speculate what is going to take place on that date.
However, I am ready to happily serve for jury duty. ;o)
