...for the first time during the campaign, Edwards' staff had police expel GSMM leafleters from a public space. Members of the group were in the midst of distributing flyers that described Edwards' medical marijuana position to the crowd gathered inside Exeter Town Hall when several members of Edwards' staff stopped GSMM Campaign Coordinator Aaron Houston, surrounding him. One Edwards campaign worker attempted to grab the flyers out of Houston's hands, saying, "I need to take that from you." The campaign staffer also threatened to call the police department. An Exeter police officer arrived minutes later and directed Houston and another GSMM member to move outside the town hall.
