Barret Brown whom I interviewed last years and another person Charles back-stab, has been arrested.
Computerworld – Dallas law enforcement authorities have arrested self-professed Anonymous spokesman Barrett Brown in what appears to have been a dramatic raid of his apartment late Wednesday night.
Barrett was having a live online video chat session with a few others when law enforcement officers can be heard storming into the room and shouting at him to comply with their commands to submit to his arrest.

A spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff’s office confirmed the arrest and said Brown was booked into the county jail at around 11 p.m. CT and has since been transferred to an FBI facility. A spokeswoman from the FBI field office in Dallas said the agency had no comment on the arrest. In a Twitter message, Anonymous noted that Barrett has been in FBI custody since early this morning.
I don’t agree with all of Barret Brown’s views, but he was very respectful towards me in our email exchanges. Like him or hate him, he actually put himself out there and is now facing the consequences.
Update: Here is the arrest video.
