Election Integrity activist Bernie Ellis, on his way to a meeting with Senator Beverly Marrero, was detained today by the Tennessee State Troopers, who act as security for the Capitol complex.
After a brief discussion in which they told him that he could only go straight to and from Senator Marrero’s office, they finally let him in.
According to Cory Bradfield in Marrero’s office who followed up with the on-duty Sargent, it was all a misunderstanding. They apparently were working off an “old email” they had received from Mr. Hargett and Bernie is actually free to roam about the Capitol.
Secretary of State Hargett had previously sent the State Troopers to Bernie’s farm to investigate what he believed to be a “terrorist threat” against government officials. After some iced tea and blueberries, the Troopers determined that Bernie was not a threat and left his farm without incident.
