The incarcerations were done wrongfully by the Court with unethical pressure from the child support agency for St. Mary's County. Mr. Cusick did try to cooperate but the child support enforcement was too severely corrupt. So because of that corruption he was released from jail in a worse condition of homeless and destitute with the child support officials demanding more cash payments regardless of his condition so Mr. Cusick proceeded to spray paint the 4 pillars on the front of the Circuit Court house in Leonardtown with green spray paint writing out the words "Child Support is Legalized Stealing", and, "Thou Shalt Not Steal", and, "Michael Haris Thief Master", and, "Inside this Court is a Den of Thieves".

It was reasoned then that the local Courts just enforce the unjust child support laws and do not make the laws so after release in July 2000, Mr. Cusick traveled to Annapolis and spray painted the two pillars of the Maryland State House with red spray paint saying, "Child Support Thieves", and, "Thou Shalt Not Steal". Got arrested, refused to enter plea, had jury trial, sentenced to 3 years in State prison for the misdameanor. There was no other damage done. Mr. Cusick does not have any felony, these actions were all minor offences. He considers the actions to have been political crimes and thus he was a political prisoner. He was released from the Maryland D.O.C (prison) in August 2003, and his child support case is closed.
The corruption of the St. Mary's County child support enforcement was finally exposed in the Maryland high Court of Appeals on March 8, 2000, in the case of Thrower, Mason and Miles, v. The Bureau of [child] Support enforcement (BOSE), a copy of that decision can be seen here at the State of Maryland Courts website link here, then check the box for Court of Appeals, year 2000, then see (March) 3-8-2000, Judge Wilner, Thrower v. Support Enforcement. Or else just click HERE for direct link to the case text.
This case did change the Maryland laws and procedures but unfortunately and diabolically the gov did not even try to correct the past abuses committed by the corruption. Mr. Cusick was only one of many that were abused by the child support enforcement.
