Ricard Malley age 47 is an Arizonian Minuteman accused to aggravated assault against a police officer. It is alleged in the night in question he saw two police officers in a car, left his own car and approached them. He then while pointing an AR-15 demanded proof from the uniformed officers that they prove that they are police officers. He was heavily armed carrying two armed weapons and a large hunting knife. This has been the yet another incident where a member of the minutemen vigilante group has been involved in a felony. As a result of this incident the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has issued new safety procedures for its members in dealing with heavily armed vigilante groups in the area. The Bureau has previously been involved for citing these groups for other infractions. Ricard Malley is currently released on a 10,000 dollar bail and has described himself as a minuteman references http://www.kpho.com/story/23175887/mcso-az-minuteman-points-ar-15-rifle-at-sheriffs-deputy http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/20/arizona-minuteman-arrested-for-pointing-ar-15-rifle-at-sheriffs-deputy/ http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/aug/20/ariz-sheriff-armed-militias-beware-or-be-shot/
