COLUMBIANA — A blogger who aired an alleged extramarital affair involving the son of former Gov. Bob Riley is being held in the Shelby County Jail after an Oct. 23 arrest.
Roger Alan Shuler, chief writer of the blog Legal Schnauzer, is charged with two counts of contempt of court and one count of resisting arrest. Bond is set at $1,000.
Shuler’s blog features several posts about Republican Rob Riley’s alleged extramarital affair with a lobbyist named Liberty Duke. The Shelby County Circuit Court issued a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction ordering Shuler to stop making defamatory statements about Riley, yet Shuler continued to publish posts.
On his blog, Shuler claims a Shelby County sheriff’s deputy “trampled the U.S. Constitution” when the deputy conducted a traffic stop outside the North Shelby Library Sept. 29 to serve Shuler and his wife, Carol, court papers in a defamation lawsuit filed against Shuler by Riley. Lt. Mike DeHart, who served the court papers, testified that the Shulers discarded the papers, including the temporary restraining order, by throwing them out of their car window after they were served.

Sure would like to see this story covered by MSNBC, let alone the rest of ABCNNBCBSFakeNoiseNutworks and the print press of Corporate McPravda. It's only a matter of a free press, something that We the People decided on, what, 1788?
