Remember the guy who tried to take a video camera into that Idaho courtroom, only to get tazed by the now-infamous bailiff P. Barnes? His name was Robert William Peterson, and I figured that it wouldn’t be too hard to find info on a guy like that in such a lifeless state as Idaho. I was right.

One of the first results on googling his name was this gem. Apparently, he was arrested a month ago for outstanding warrants for what was probably more sovcit bullshit…while being released from another jail in neighboring Washington:

    If I were to try to decode this, he was probably released from Pierce County, WA lockup at 8AM on 6/24, immediately placed under arrest by them at that time on another warrant, and then picked up by Kootenai County, ID sheriffs who placed him under arrest at 3:22PM, and then drove him back to Kootenai County Jail.

    His bail is well over $250k, lol

      Thank you, I have wondered what happened to him after he rode the Barnes Lightning! Donut Operator covered P Barnes, maybe you should forward this to him, since you put in the work of follow up! I hope you will!

        Well, after his Dateline episode, I knew he wasn’t going to just disappear into that sweet goodnight. Never, however, did I think he’d survive this long. Apparently, he’s such a stubborn dick, that he’s serving time in multiple states just for being himself.

        Wtf
