Guy goes up to Cheney in a Colorado resort area, he pats Cheney on the shoulder and says the war in Iraq is unconscionable, ten minutes later the guy is arrested on an assault charge. The charge is dismissed, now the man is suing the secret service.
From the NYT: Secret Service: Detailed Look at ’06 Turmoil
The arrest of a man named Steven Howards in June 2006 after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney at a Colorado ski resort and denounced the war in Iraq might have seemed, at the time, no more than a blip on the vice president’s schedule.
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, contends that the arrest was retaliation for having spoken up.
