At Rest

Deadly force
Cooper, a writer and significant figure in sovereign citizen and fringe conspiracy circles, had been openly defying county and federal officials. The U.S. Marshal Service had named him a major fugitive in 2000. Deputies serving a warrant for assault on a trespasser were met with a firefight; Cooper shot one of them twice in the head. Cooper was hit by return fire and died the next day. The deputy survived.
This record exists so that Milton William Cooper, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
