Schwigen Is Freed From Jail in Arkansas Case
The Arkansas Supreme Court granted a writ of habeas corpus freeing Richard Schwigen after over 40 days in White County Jail at Searcy. The court found White County deputies detained him without proper compliance with state law, based on a Knox County warrant alleging theft of more than $150. Schwigen had not had a hearing, nor any Arkansas fugitive proceeding, and his attorney argued custody should have followed swift judicial review.
