Fitzpatrick has continued to be entertaining here in Madisonville, Monroe Co. TN, barging into a grand jury and insisting the President be arrested. Unable to take "it's not our job" for an answer, he was charged on multiple counts. After complaining about delays he has been arrested again for refusing to show up for a hearing.
