COURT JAILS WITNESS FOR IGNORING SEC SUBPOENAS AND COURT ORDER ENFORCING THE SUBPOENAS
Richard K. Wells, a witness subpoenaed by the Commission in one of its investigations, was incarcerated on October 19 for ignoring two Commission subpoenas and a Court order enforcing those subpoenas. At a hearing on that day, Respondent Wells failed to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failing to obey the Court's order enforcing the Commission's subpoenas. The District Court Judge ordered the United States Marshals to immediately take Wells into custody in the courtroom, and Wells was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. Wells' incarceration was the result of a subpoena enforcement action commenced by the Commission on July 29, 1999. Prior to his incarceration, Wells had asserted unsuccessful defenses to enforcement of the subpoenas in the District Court and in two Courts of Appeals. Wells was subsequently released from jail upon his bond that he would comply with a new Order to respond to the subpoenas on specific dates, and the District Court continued the contempt hearing to assure compliance with the subpoenas.
