CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A couple convicted of tax evasion were arrested peacefully at their Plainfield home Thursday night after holing up at the fortress-like compound for months, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted on federal tax charges in January and refused to turn themselves in to authorities when they were sentenced in April to five years and three months in prison.
It was not immediately clear how they were taken into custody.
"We had no indication that the Browns intended to voluntarily surrender, so we had to move forward with an operation that promised the safest possible outcome. That day was today," U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said in a news release.
Ed Brown, 65, and his wife, 67, have claimed the federal income tax is not legitimate.

I’m going to research this story more. I do like people who have the will to stand for what they believe in. At least for now it reads as though they stand for what they believe in. You got to admire people like this. We need more people with the kind of will this couple has. ( again I must research more)
