By Joe Kovacs

ParkerLive reports: “Gilbert had been the center of controversy in Quartzsite for some time, with some residents accusing him of targeting them with politically motivated arrests. The situation spiraled when Jennifer Jones, a local newspaper publisher, was removed from a council meeting by Gilbert. The video of the event was seen thousands of times on YouTube, bringing national press coverage to the town and attention on Chief Gilbert. The resulting furor even prompted a protest rally organized by a Constitution-centered organization called Oath Keepers, with the town’s mayor Ed Foster leading the march.”

Foster, a retired Marine and former engineer for Wrigley Chewing Gum, told WND in 2011 the town council and police department were filled with corruption.  “He’s just an insane person, that chief of police,” the mayor said of Gilbert. “He’s a Nazi … he’s completely out of control. He thinks he’s running the town.”……it wasn’t just the police chief, but also the town manager and tax collector who were creating a terrifying atmosphere. “People in town are scared to death of them,” he said. “It’s just a clear pattern of harassment and intimidation by this government.

My Take – I followed this story for as long as it appeared in the news, but then it disappeared for quite a long time, and I was never able to find out what happened.  It appears this is still playing out after all this time.   There were public officials that should have been prosecuted for some of their actions and it seems to me that there still hasn’t been an audit to find out if someone was playing fast and loose with taxpayer dollars. 

This article doesn't really give full insight to what all had happened.  Here is some backgroud on this story.  However, this whole disturbing event can be defined in one word. Scary!
