An update to this story includes the actual arrest affidavit for Courtney Mallery. www.kktv.com/…
While it doesn't shed any light on any of the abuse or harassment the Black couple faced in the years leading up to their arrest, it does show exactly what they are being arrested for.
In my mind, it looks and sounds like they are being targeted for fighting back. And one deputy has clearly made it his mission to do so. A deputy whose wife happens to be a DA.
More will follow, I'm sure, because people are watching closely now.
I can’t believe this shit is happening in my backyard.
I can’t believe it. But I can.
I saw a bizarre headline on a local online rag several days ago about how there was an arrest warrant out for a Black farmer and his wife who owned a 100 acre farm in El Paso County, the county that is home to Colorado Springs and the Air Force Academy and New Life Church and Focus on the Family and most recently the Club Q killings. They were wanted on stalking charges.
What? The article didn’t make any sense. The couple, Courtney and Nicole Mallery, who claim to have been terrorized by their neighbors for the past two years, (the sheriff’s office admit that they responded to 170 calls related to the Mallerys and investigated 19 different complaints) including having their animals killed and their property vandalized...why were they the ones being arrested?
Apparently having an article run in ArkRepublic about the situation didn’t sit well with the El Paso County Sheriff’s office. Now lotta people taking a look. Which is good. Cuz it’s a mess.
The Rocky Mountain NAACP is investigating claims of racism made by two Black ranch owners in El Paso County who allege their predominantly white neighbors and the sheriff’s office have harassed them the last two years.
It’s a dispute between neighbors that has exploded in recent weeks on national social media and played out in an El Paso County courtroom Tuesday in the most pedestrian of ways.
The couple, Courtney and Nicole Mallery, have been accused of felony stalking on their neighbor's farm in Yoder, about an hour east of Colorado Springs. Both were arrested Monday on warrants related to those charges.

I wish I could get to the bottom of it myself. I just want justice for these people. I wish I trusted the justice department around here. More eyes please.
