Disabled Maryland Journalist Faces Arrest for 'Tweeting'

3. The defendant is in custody for another offense. Which I'm not, which leaves ...

4. There is probable cause to believe that the defendant poses a danger to another person or to the community. For TWEETING? Like I could pose a DANGER to anyone?

So, there's the story. I am waiting to be arrested because a Circuit Court judge gave WJJ Hoge III a peace order, the Carroll County State's Attorney office will do nothing to stop Hoge in the malicious misuse of their courts and their office, because I exercised generally agreed-upon First Amendment Right to use the letters "@wjjhoge" in a Tweet.

I won't be the first journalist jailed for standing up for the First  Amendment; I won't be the last. But I'm hard pressed to think of a sillier, more craven reason for putting a man who can barely walk in jail.

History will forget who I am. But they will remember that William John Joseph Hoge III is the man who put a disabled guy in jail for using his name in a Tweet.
