- How Close Is Joe Miller’s Town Hall Security Chief To The Alaska Citizens Militia? | TPMDC
- William Fulton, the head of DropZone Security, denies that he's a member of the Alaska Citizens Militia — though he inarguably has some ties to the militia, and has even been referred to as the "supply Sergeant" by the head of the group.
DropZone Security was hired as Republican Senate nominee Joe Miller's private security team at his town hall on Sunday, during which Fulton and two of his employees handcuffed and detained Alaska Dispatch editor Tony Hopfinger.
As we've reported, DropZone Security doubles as an army surplus store and bail bonds agency, and is made up of current and former members of the military. The two other agents with Fulton at the Miller event were active-duty military.
