BILLINGS - Amid concerns APF leader Michael Hilton's criminal past the Montana Attorney General has launched an investigation and is asking APF to provide answers by October 12.

The Civil Investigative Document poses questions including wanting APF to identify each state the group has provided service in, identify each US agency APF has worked with in the past, and wants APF to provide a list of all individuals employed by the group.

In addition to the requests an attorney representing California company Allied Defense Systems sent a letter demanding Michael Hilton stop saying he is affiliated or related to the company. The letter states if he doesn't they reserve the right to file suit against him.

The Serbian government is also looking into possible legal action against APF and Hilton. Many have suggested the badge Hilton uses as APF's logo is a mirror image of the Serbian coat of arms. Serbian officials say they're taking the necessary steps to see if any laws were broken. Hilton told KULR-8 a few weeks ago the logo is his family's crest and he used it as a tribute to his grandfather.

California attorney Mazi Mafi also stepped down from the group earlier this week. During a phone conversation Mafi told KULR-8 he wanted to see more concrete evidence of the project before moving forward. He stressed just because he never saw the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist. He's hoping to see the project succeeds.

We got in touch with Michael Hilton on Friday Afternoon. He declined comment on any of the legal matters or recent developments.

In 10/09/2009 Gazette, it is reported that, IN FACT, there is a written agreement between Two River and American Police Force for APF to provide a Police Force in Hardin. The Gazette had to sue Two Rivers to get it! So, while we all thought the Two Rivers Board, the Hardin Mayor and City Council were just inept…it NOW turns out they were being purposely deceptive and lying to the citizens, the Press, the MT Atty General…that is why they refused to turn over the last 2 pages of the contract.

Why don't the pick this crook up and put him in the jail along with Big Hair and Becky. That would be a good start to restoring some sense of right and wrong. Becky if you have an ounce of integrity you should quit immediately.

What's your family name Mike? I'd love to see this family crest of yours. Are you claiming to be a Serbian royal? It wouldn't surprise me at this point just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder. chriskillz503.blogspot.com

keep an eye out for changes in your credit if you happened to be stupid enough to give APF your social security on the application. After his credit card scam , who knows what he could do with all that personal information. The updated web site does not have the serbian logo or the application. Alex Jones is an agent who discredits events by reporting on them!

The longer this “poor me, I’m a victim” Becky Shay, this idiot Al Peterson, this "go-for-glory Kerri Smith, this inept Two Rivers Board, this self-serving Hardin City Council, and this inappropriate Hardin Mayor Ron Adams continue to support and push the lies put forth by American Police Force and the fraud and convict Michael Hilton, the more they become accomplices in the entire fiasco, and the more liability they will share.

There is much to wonder about American Police Force. Their web site is still up showing Becky Shay as their sole public relations person. If the APF is not legit, it seems to me that the FBI would be on them like flies on a cowpatty. If they are legit I think that the parent company should be uncovered and investigated...G:

All of our hats should be off to Nick, Sarah and Katie, and the KULR8 management team for their continuing effort to find the truth with this Hardin Jail "deal". I sincerely hope they receive many accolades for this effort to find the truth...which, by the way, still has some additional reporting to be complete!

The light of day has proven once again to be a simple and superior prevention.

People up there need to stop thinking they can't fight city hall. There needs to be immediate action against all elected officials refusing to represent the will of the people across the state. I'm crurious if there are ties to Obama's visit there, the Max Baucus healthcare bill, and the construction of this prison in the first place.

This is proof foreign governments want to put Americans behind their own bars. As well as exterminate as much of us as possible through the H1N1 vaccination. The NWO in my opinion is foreign governments.

This California attorney must have thought he had better distance himself from this Hilton felon/fraud and the entire Hardin Jail "deal" before he got himself implicated, but he may be too late; just like it may be too late for Al Peterson, Becky Shay, Kelli Smith, the rest of the Two Rivers Board, the entire Hardin City Council and Hardin Mayor Ron Adams. They all have done a terrible job of representing the interests of the citizens of Hardin and should all be ashamed!

Matilda said on Friday, Oct 2 at 7:34 PM

Secrecy, rather than frank and open discussions with all those that matter (in this case, citizens of Hardin and surrounding communities) always breeds contempt and the suggestion of cover-up to the real agenda. It seems this is pretty apparent in this case. Al Peterson and the rest of the Two Rivers Board, the entire Hardin City Council, Becky Shay, Kerri Smith and Hardin Mayor Ron Adams only have themselves to blame as this “deal” falls apart! Shame on them all!
