Gun rights activist Adam Kokesh was back in court this morning following his arrest Tuesday night in Herndon, Va. on drug and gun charges. But based on today’s proceeding, Kokesh, who stirred things up last week by posting a video of himself loading a shotgun on D.C.’s Freedom Plaza, won’t be getting out of jail any time soon.

Kokesh appeared in Fairfax County General District Court this morning for another hearing on the charges against him. As WAMU reports, Kokesh was handcuffed and brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair for his appearance, during which he refused to answer any of the judge’s questions. He was ordered to remain in jail without bond.

Kokesh, a 31-year-old Iraq War veteran-turned-flamboyant libertarian activist, is being charged with possession of schedule I and II substances and having a gun while in possession of illegal drugs. In Virginia, the drug charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $2,500, while the gun charge can bring an additional two years behind bars.

Herndon police arrested Kokesh Tuesday night acting on a warrant served by U.S. Park Police, which was investigating his July 4 video. Park Police have jurisdiction over Freedom Plaza. (Kokesh’s supporters in the tinfoil hat brigade identify Park Police as a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, though the agency is actually a division of the National Park Service, which itself is under the aegis of the Interior Department.) Officers found hallucinogenic mushrooms while searching Kokesh’s house Monday night.

It is illegal to carry a gun outside in D.C., a law that Kokesh sought to break on Independence Day by initially planning to lead a march of like-minded demonstrators carrying loaded guns across the Arlington Memorial Bridge into the District. Although thousands of Kokesh’s online fans said they would join him, the rally was scrapped after the Metropolitan Police Department said it would arrest anyone attempting to openly carry a gun into the city.

Kokesh’s refusal to speak to a judge isn’t anything surprising given his anti-authoritarian streak. Since being arrested, he has refused to submit to a fingerprint scan or a photograph for police records, Lt. Steve Elbert of the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office told DCist yesterday.

Kokesh will be back in court Oct. 2 for a preliminary hearing.
