U.S. Marshals arrested tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown at their Plainfield home yesterday,ending the couple's eight-month standoff without bloodshed.
The Browns vowed never to be taken alive, but a U.S. Marshal said yesterday that both Browns were arrested without incident on their property around 7:45 p.m.
"The Browns may now begin serving their 63-month federal prison terms," Monier said in a written statement last night. A representative for the marshals refused to answer any questions about the arrests last night.
