Some of the 11 people charged in connection with an armed standoff along Interstate 95 in Massachusetts last weekend, including the purported leader of the group, refused to cooperate with court authorities during their arraignments Tuesday.
Jamhal Tavon Sanders Latimer, 29, also known as Jamhal Talib Abdullah Bey, told the judge: “I don’t understand how these charges can be brought against me.”
Latimer, a former U.S. Marine from Providence, Rhode Island, waived his right to an attorney, but the judge said she would have a lawyer speak to him about this rights before the next hearing in the case.
