(MODESTO BEE) Karen Mathews Davis, who gained fame for resisting extremist tax protesters when she was Stanislaus County’s clerk-recorder in the mid 1990s, has been arrested and charged with fabricating death-threat letters to herself when she was a congressional candidate in late 2013 and early 2014.
Mathews Davis, 67, of Lodi failed a polygraph test and admitted to federal investigators that she wrote, printed and sent herself two disturbing letters during the campaign, says an arrest warrant affidavit made public Wednesday. When she finished last in a four-way primary last year, Mathews Davis told The Modesto Bee that threats had dampened her enthusiasm for campaigning, and a few months later she released a book detailing her account of being ambushed, beaten and sexually assaulted in the garage of her Modesto home in 1994.
Nine people were convicted of conspiracy and racketeering and an Oregon man, Roger Steiner, served 18 years in federal prison for the assault. He was released to a Fresno halfway house in early 2015 and called The Bee, saying he was “totally innocent,” just before Mathews announced her candidacy.
