Man ordered off YouTube as probation condition
ANN ARBOR (AP) -- An Ann Arbor-area man who authorities say posted anti-police videos on YouTube has been ordered to not use the website as a condition of probation in a stun gun possession case.
AnnArbor.com reports Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge David Swartz last Thursday sentenced 39-year-old Madison Tristan Mealing to two years of probation plus fines.
Before the sentencing, Mealing told the court to "stop with the lies." He says he feels bullied and harassed by law enforcement, claiming racial discrimination.
The stun gun was found while Washtenaw County deputies searched the home of a relative of Mealing in Superior Township on Nov. 23, 2010. The investigation stemmed from videos authorities say Mealing posted on YouTube. Mealing pleaded guilty in March to illegally possessing the stun gun.
