Mysterious group claims jurisdiction over Montana town
The American Police Force has arrived in Montana. Problem is – they now claim to have police jurisdiction over the town where they seek to operate a jail.
KULR-8 TV in Billings reports:
Two Rivers Authority officials say having APF patrol the streets was never part of their agenda. “I have no idea. I really don’t because that’s not been a part of any of the discussions we’ve had with any of them,” said Two Rivers Authority’s Al Peterson.
As it stands now the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Department is contracted to patrol the city and APF has no jurisdiction. If that was changed Peterson says it would have to go through the city council.
It gets worse: the jail’s bondholders haven’t even reached an agreement with APF. And the group who has yet to provide any information that checks out. They have announced plans to do all kinds of things in Hardin, despite the fact that “Officials say the contract only deals with the detention facility and a police training center.”
It seems that Hardin, Mont. is beyond the Better Business Bureau at this point.
