About Matthew Townsend Preliminary Hearing March 19 -- excerpts:

This is a key excerpt from the March 19 preliminary hearing for Matthew Townsend, who was arrested by Meridian Police Officer Richard Brockbank on a fraudulent "resisting and obstructing" charge. Prosecutor Abbey Germaine requests bail be revoked pending a new charge of "witness intimidation" based on a Facebook post in which Townsend protested his mistreatment. Trial Judge James Cawthon wasn't convinced and issued an order for a hearing on the motion on March 30. The Meridian City PD violated that order by having Townsend arrested the following day.
