Robert Hill, aka Jesse Hill, ended his campaign for Sheriff yesterday with a guilty plea to a forgery conviction, The Tacoma News Tribune reported. Hill admitted to forging District Court Judge David Kenworthy’s signature on a temporary anti-harassment order. With a felony conviction on his record, Hill is ineligible to run for Sheriff, or the Democratic Precinct Committee Officer, which he was also up for.

More information is available on the Tacoma News Tribune website. For those on the web, a link to The Melon’s interview with Hill is available, as well as a letter Hill wrote the the court.

While Hill arguably did foster radical notions about government, careful readers should note the tone of TNT writer Ian Demsky. The article revels in Hill’s failure and suggests that Hill is a dangerous person, to be kept out of the public light, except as spectacle.
