http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/article/Vegas-police-stop-Sovereign-Citizen-plot-4753768.phpLAS VEGAS (AP) A four-month undercover operation foiled a plot by two people to abduct, torture and kill at least one police officer to gain attention for their "Sovereign Citizen" cause, police said Thursday.
The arrests of David Allen Brutsche, 42, and Devon Campbell Newman, 67, scuttled a carefully planned operation to kidnap, put on trial and execute a police officer, according to a 10-page police arrest report.
The report detailed weeks of meetings, training sessions and plans that included using video cameras to follow police, identifying an officer to abduct, finding a vacant house and rigging it to serve as a "jail" in which the officer would be bound to cross beams in a room for torture.
Every one of the 30 meetings, including hundreds of hours of conversation, was documented and recorded, police said.
