Millie Weaver was arrested August 14 suspiciously close to
the release of her Documentary “SHADOW GATE” exposing Deep State
operations in the U.S. Government. It turns out Weaver’s arrest isn’t directly
related to Shadow Gate, but is tied to a domestic issue between Millie, Millie’s
brother and boyfriend versus Millie’s mother over a dispute over a cell phone.
I’ve tried to garner info on the arrests and the reason for
such from various websites, but they are lacking on details focusing on arrest,
jail and arraignment. The Center-Left website Heavy.com seems to me to
provide the most judicious details making an effort to show the accused, Millie’s
mother and Prosecutor’s perspective.
Reading/listening to all perspectives there appears to be a
wide gulf of versions, but what strikes me is the mother made a huge effort to
call off her complaint and the Prosecution proceeded anyway. That reeks of
political witch hunt to me in which lawyers get richer, government Prosecutors
use taxpayer money resources and an outcome that will probably end in
exoneration of assault but a huge political effort to find guilt regarding handling
of evidence. The evidence issue usually means Obstruction for Conservatives, a
charge the Dems and Leftists have been dodging for decades.
This is how this post will play out. I am beginning with the
Heavy.com reporting, toss in some less informative websites and culminate with
an embed of Millie Weaver’s Shadow Gate. You should be made aware at
this point Shadow Gate has been uploaded to various video formats. A Youtube
version was attempted but I understand the Youtube censors have banned it. So appropriately
I am using the Banned Video format in my embed (unfortunately I have
not figured out how to embed Banned Video on my Wordpress blog, ergo those
readers will be stuck with a link).

Millie Weaver: Ohio Arrest Related
to Altercation With Her Mother, Court Docs Show
By Erin Laviola
Updated Aug 17, 2020 at 5:26pm
Millie Weaver was arrested on August 14 on charges of robbery
and domestic violence.
Millie Weaver, an
Infowars contributor and conservative filmmaker, is facing criminal charges
because of a dispute with her mother, Portage County court documents confirm.
Weaver, along with her partner Gavin Wince and younger brother
Charles Weaver, was arrested on August 14 in front of her two young children at
her home in northeastern Ohio. She was detained hours before she was scheduled
to release a documentary on YouTube called Shadow Gate. Court records
show she was released from custody at 2:25 p.m. on August 17 on a personal recognizance bond.
In a trailer for
the film, Weaver claimed she had spoken with
two whistleblowers who had knowledge of an orchestrated “coup” against President Donald Trump. The timing
of her arrest prompted conspiracy theories online, with critics questioning
whether the arrest was related to the documentary.
The indictment,
which was made available August 17 on the Portage County Clerk of Courts website,
states Weaver was charged in connection to an altercation with her mother on
April 25, 2020.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Weaver Is Accused of Helping Wince & Her Brother
Tackle Her Mother, Felicia McCarron, in Order to Get Her Phone
Millicent F. Weaver is facing felony charges because of a
dispute with her mother, Felicia McCarron. The indictment,
handed down by a Portage County Grand Jury, shows that the altercation happened
on April 25, 2020. McCarron’s first name was spelled “Felecia” in the
indictment but a search of online records shows she spells her name “Felicia.”
According to the criminal complaint, which Heavy obtained
from the county prosecutor, McCarron had been living at the Portage County home
for about a month at the time of the confrontation. She moved in after the
coronavirus pandemic forced her employer in California to shut down. The report
states that on April 25, McCarron was texting with a religious leader “about
her daughter being mean.” McCarron accused Weaver of calling her names.
Deputies said they confirmed McCarron had sent a text message to her Bishop 26
minutes before dialing 911.
McCarron told deputies she started recording on her phone
because she wanted to document how the family treated her. She claimed her son,
Charles, along with Wince and Weaver, tackled her to the ground in order to
steal her phone. McCarron ran out of the house and used a neighbor’s phone to
call 911. McCarron added that she saw Charles run to the back of the property
and she assumed he was hiding her phone.
In a separate interview with responding deputies, Weaver
denied her mother’s allegations. She claimed McCarron had lost her phone two
days earlier and was upset about it. Weaver described her mother as “mentally
ill and not reliable.” Weaver claimed her mother had threatened the rest of the
family with a knife, put it away, and then ran outside the house yelling about
calling the police. Weaver told deputies they had considered calling 911
themselves but ultimately decided against it.
Weaver is accused of threatening to harm McCarron during the
course of a robbery, which
is a second-degree felony. The indictment from the Portage County Grand Jury
states:
In attempting or committing a theft
offense, or in fleeing immediately after the attempt or offense, recklessly
inflict, attempt to inflict, or threaten to inflict physical harm upon Felicia
McCarron.
Weaver is further accused of attempting to destroy evidence
related to the dispute, a third-degree felony:
Knowing that an official proceeding
or investigation is in progress, or is about to be or likely to be instituted
did, alter, destroy, conceal or removed a record, document or thing with the
purpose to impair its value or availability as evidence in such proceeding or
investigation.
The third count is obstructing justice, which is a
fifth-degree felony charge:
With purpose to hinder the
discovery, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of Millicent F.
Weaver, Charles L. Weaver Jr and/o Facebookr Gavon S. Wince for a crime or to
assist another to benefit from the commission of a crime, communicate false
information to (any person), and the crime committed by the person aided is a
felony of the fifth, fourth or third degree.
The fourth charge is a first-degree misdemeanor count of
domestic violence. The Grand Jury found probable cause that Weaver had “recklessly
caused serious physical harm to the family or household member.”
2. A Person Claiming to Be Weaver’s Mother Wrote on
YouTube the Dispute Was About a $50 Cellphone
Felicia McCarron Facebook Photo (circa 2011 - Millie Weaver far right)
Weaver’s mother has weighed in on her daughter’s arrest. A
woman claiming to be Felicia McCarron posted a comment on a YouTube video
that was published by “The Official Hagmann Report” on
August 14. The comment links back to an account
that appears to belong to McCarron.
McCarron described the situation as a “family dispute” and
that the robbery pertained to a $50 cellphone. McCarron claimed she had asked
local authorities to drop the charges several weeks before Weaver’s arrest:
This is Millie’s mother … It’s my
cell phone worth about $50, that she took during a family dispute that happened
months ago when I was in Ohio visiting my family. She took it because I had my
phone on record during an argument we were having. We resolved the issue
immediately and I dropped all charges right after it happened before I left
Ohio … because it was a gross misunderstanding and no harm was done.
All families have their
disagreements…especially during a quarantine…. In Ca nothing happens when you
call the police…..I am shocked my family was arrested after I told the police
to drop all charges months ago. I had a general affidavit of non prosecution
notarized today and I spoke with the police chief , who told me I could not do
anything until Monday morning and my daughter, son and her boyfriend have to stay
in jail over the weekend. I am extremely upset… this is not what I wanted to
happen. I think they have a lot bigger fish to fry…makes me think this might
have been done to prevent her from coming out with some political information
she is covering. There was no reason for this.
3. The Arrest Warrant Was Issued Nearly Four Weeks Before
Weaver Was Detained
The warrant for Weaver’s arrest was filed nearly four weeks
before it was executed, Portage County court documents prove. The warrant, which can be viewed here,
states that the indictment against Weaver was filed in Portage County Common
Pleas Court on July 20, 2020.
The document was stamped by Clerk of Courts Jill
Frankhauser. It includes the following language: “Bring said person before said
Court without unnecessary delay.” It’s unclear why it took the sheriff’s
department 25 days to carry out the arrest.
The warrant was labeled as a “secret indictment.” Under Ohio law,
this simply means the indictment is kept sealed until after the defendant has
been apprehended by law enforcement.
Weaver live-streamed the interaction
with deputies when they came to her home on Yale Road to arrest her. In the
clip, Weaver repeatedly asked why she was under arrest and expressed surprise
when told that she had been indicted by a grand jury. One of the deputies
eventually answered that Weaver was being arrested for burglary but did not
appear to have more information at the time. (The charge turned out to be
robbery, not burglary).
During the arrest, Weaver explained into the camera,
“Guys, I’m literally about to break huge breaking news
right now. I’m being arrested and I have no idea why.”
4. Weaver Was Released on a Personal Recognizance Bond
Weaver, Wince, and her brother Charles Weaver
were arrested on August 14 and booked into the Portage County Jail. They
remained behind bars without bond over the weekend.
Court records show all three were scheduled to appear before
Judge Becky Doherty in the Portage
County Common Pleas Court at 11am on August 17 for a formal arraignment.
Court documents show Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci recommended bond be set at $20,000.
The document recommended Weaver be required to post at least 10 percent of the
total in order to be released from custody.
Judge Doherty agreed to set bond at $20,000 but the court document
shows it is a personal recognizance bond.
This means Weaver agrees to return to court for future hearings and can be
released from custody without needing to pay money to the court. She would owe
that money if she failed to appear in court.
Court records
initially listed Canton, Ohio, defense attorney Eugene O’Byrne, as Weaver’s lawyer.
Attorney Troy Reeves has since been added to the court filing to represent
Weaver.
Weaver entered a “not guilty”
plea through her attorney. A discovery hearing was scheduled for September 9
and the criminal pre-trial hearing was set for October 21.
5. Felicia McCarron Lives in California & Previously
Worked in Real Estate
Weaver was born in San Bernardino and her mother is
still located in southern California. Felicia McCarron previously worked in real estate, according to records
with the California Department of Real Estate.
Records show McCarron was a licensed salesperson from 2001 until 2013 but did
not renew her license after that.
McCarron’s public Facebook page has not been
updated since 2014. According to the page, she worked for the OC Weekly newspaper, but it’s
unclear in what capacity.
Weaver pursued a career
in the entertainment industry in the early 2010s as a model and
singer, and her mother commented on those efforts on Facebook. In February
2011, McCarron announced
that Millie and her sister, Minna, had debuted a single called “Hollywood Here
We Come.” McCarron wrote in a second post,
“Minna and Millie will be performing on the 23rd in Beverly Hills at the
Pre-Academy Award/Breast Cancer Awareness Event, Hosted by David Harrison
Levi.”

Millie Weaver and her
co-defendants are freed on bond
August 18, 2020
Conservative new media personality Millicent (Millie)
Weaver, AKA Millennial Millie,
had her day in court Monday morning via a live Zoom video stream from jail in
northeastern Ohio after being arrested last Friday and spending the weekend
locked up. As cleveland dot com reported
Monday afternoon:
Millie Weaver and two others
pleaded not guilty at a Monday arraignment in Portage County Common Pleas Court
on felony charges including robbery that stem from an April altercation with
Weaver's mother, according to court records.
Portage County Common Pleas Court
Judge Becky Doherty set Weaver's bond at $20,000 and ordered her released on
her own recognizance. Weaver's boyfriend Gavin Wince and brother Charles Weaver
pleaded not guilty to the same charges and were issued the same bond.
The news of Millie Weaver's arrest and detention on Friday,
August 14 — reported in my two previous posts at American Thinker here and here — received wide
attention. Contributing to that interest were Weaver's large fan base
and the fact that her arrest occurred suspiciously close to the release date of
her documentary film Shadow Gate. The 82-minute-long
movie promised new revelations about the Deep State, specifically an exposé of
the "operational role the shadow government played behind the scenes
carrying out the coup against President Trump." The documentary
wound up being uploaded to YouTube on Friday by Tore Maras Lindeman, who
appears in the film as one of two whistleblowers. Before it was
deleted (AKA censored) from YouTube, the film had accumulated 1.3 million
views. Copies of Shadow Gate are all over the
internet now, including at a censor-free
site here.
Unconfirmed reports are that Millie Weaver's and Gavin
Wince's two young children were returned to the couple after spending the
weekend in the custody of child protective services.
Portage County prosecutor Victor Vigluicci said Monday that he did not know
who Millie Weaver was prior to her arrest and that the case had "nothing
to do with her political beliefs or whatever she chooses to
publish." According to cleveland dot com, Weaver is being
represented by Canton, Ohio attorney Eugene O'Byrne, who has not replied so far
to any media inquiries.
A copy of the indictment of Millie Weaver and her arrest
warrant, issued by the Court of Common Pleas, Portage County, Ohio on July 20,
was made public on Monday and can be viewed here.
Millie Weaver speaks with Tore Maras Lindeman
in a video call from jail, August 16, 2020.
Millie Weaver's friend and collaborator on Shadow
Gate, Tore Maras Lindeman, posted the audio of her August 16 15-minute-long
conversation with Millie Weaver while Weaver was in jail. The audio
can be accessed
here. The sound begins at the 2 minute and
12 second mark.
This story is far from over. In addition to the disposition
of the case against the three defendants, my research and deep dive into open
source records have turned up some new and interesting insights into the whole
affair surrounding the arrest and the film Shadow Gate. Watch
for further reports here at American Thinker.

‘Millennial’ Millie Weaver Released from Ohio Jail, November Trial Set

Millicent F. Weaver, 29, known in digital circles and on
social feeds as Millennial Millie was arrested in a
Diamond, Ohio home on Friday August 14.
Weaver’s boyfriend, Gavin Wince, 46, and brother Charles
Weaver, 26, were also arrested. A Portage County Grand Jury issued secret
arrest warrants for all three charging them with robbery, tampering with
evidence, obstruction of justice and domestic violence.
Weaver captured her arrest on video that was later released on
Twitter by YouTube sensation Mark Dice. In the video, Weaver asks why she
is being arrested and the officer can be heard saying ““I’ll give you all your
paperwork when we get to the jail.”

Millie goes on to say, “I’m literally about to break huge
breaking news right now and I’m being arrested, and I have no idea why.”
The breaking news she referred to in her arrest video is her
investigative report Shadowgate, which released
Friday.
The Ohio Star talked with Millie Weaver and she said she was
instructed to not comment on the case.
Weaver’s case is State of Ohio v. Millicent F. Weaver and is
an open case that will be adjudicated by Portage County Common Pleas Court
Judge Becky L. Doherty. During Monday’s arraignment, Judge Doherty set bond for
Weaver at $20,000 but released her on her own recognizance.
Shadowgate introduces two people who both claim to
have been private contractors working for private companies that siphon digital
information (web traffic, text messages, phone calls) collected by the National
Security Agency (NSA), the national-level intelligence agency of the United
States Department of Defense.
According to the whistleblowers, information collected by
the NSA is mirrored, or duplicated. That duplicated data, it is alleged, is
retained by contractors who sell it to people who use it for nefarious
purposes. Those purposes include using data in psychological operations deployed
through mainstream and social media outlets to influence elections, and as a
source of blackmail to bully opponents of political initiatives.
Charles Weaver and Gavin Wince were also released Monday on
their own recognizance.
The trial date is set for November 2, the day before the
2020 United States Presidential election.
