Minuteman Chris Simcox: Arrest Came After Years Out Of Spotlight | TPMMuckraker
Chris Simcox was a nobody until, for a little while at least, he wasnt.
It may be hard to remember now, but there was a time when Simcox was a national figure. Back when he led the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, and organized armed patrols along the Mexican border. Back when he was invited to talk on national television, and appeared on CNN and Fox News. Back when he commanded the attention of governors and lawmen and members of Congress, and even allowed himself to dream about a seat of his own in the U.S Senate. All that seems a long time ago.
On Wednesday, Simcox surfaced in the headlines for the first time in years, following his arrest in Phoenix on suspicion of child molestation. Simcox is accused of sexual conduct with three girls younger than 10. (In a press release, Phoenix police said Simcox denied the accusations.) In a mugshot, Simcox looks tired, with his hair grown out, looking more his age now 52 then he did back when his critics in the Minuteman movement gave him the nickname The Little Prince.
