Former Houston Police Capt. Mark Anthony Aguirre, 63, was arrested Tuesday for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after prosecutors said he violently detained the man on Oct. 19. He apparently believed the repairman’s truck was transporting 750,000 fraudulent ballots, but no ballots were found.

 Aguirre said he had been monitoring the truck’s driver for four days with a private group of citizens called “Liberty Center” and believed he was the mastermind of ballot election fraud, prosecutors said.

Aguirre did not reveal to authorities that he had been paid $266,400 by the right-wing Liberty Center for God and Country, with $211,400 of that amount being deposited into his account the day after the incident, prosecutors said.

And you wonder WHY I can’t stand ‘em(R)?
