Facebook update from Kevin Crouch:

From the Ellis County Press:

DALLAS COUNTY – Former Ellis County Press news editor, Joey Dauben, arrested Monday, Sept. 14 at his home in Plymouth, NH for allegedly posting internal information from a police computer he received via an anonymous e-mail for his blog , could be seeing home again very soon.

"Dallas County has recalled Dauben's warrants for engaging in organized criminal activity, obstruction or retaliation and misuse of official information," said defense attorney Rodney Ramsey.

The intake division rejected all warrants for his arrests last Friday, Sept. 18

Dauben, 28, publisher of the Ellis County Observer blog, was released from the Grafton County Jail in North Havervill, NH this afternoon.

I was happy to get that as well.

This is interesting. Joey was arrested and jailed due to some warrants. The warrants were later recalled. The "intake division" rejected the warrants - is that the intake division of the jail? Had he not been processed for a week, and then they finally released him because the jail rejected the warrants (or because the warrants were recalled by then)? Then Joey was released.

What a just, free system: you can get jailed and have a week (or more?) of your life wasted for no reason. Did you lose your job because of it? Your spouse? Children? Did your pet die because no one was there to feed it and you had no time to make arrangements? Bah! That's not the concern of the State!

Glad he's out.

Thanks, Kat, for all of your posting of this case. I had no idea I had that much support from New Hampshire people.

The people at Grafton Co said the jail was "flooded" with phone calls from friends, family and supporters. I'm humbled.


But here's the latest, should anyone care to know:

Just in case anyone was curious to know the latest:
