BRIDGEPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan man has been
arrested after authorities say he refused to stop talking past a
three-minute time limit for public comment at a township board meeting.
Mark
A. Adams was arraigned Friday in Saginaw District Court on a felony
charge of resisting and obstructing a police officer and a misdemeanor
count of disturbing the peace.
Adams was arrested at the March 4
meeting by three Bridgeport Township police officers. Authorities say he
refused to stop talking when township officials told him to do so.
The Saginaw News reports (http://bit.ly/1iyQSvW
) the arrest took place on Adams’ 59th birthday.
Adams’ lawyer, Tom Frank, said Tuesday he had no comment.
The resisting and obstructing charge carries a maximum penalty of two years behind bars.
Adams is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
