Biography
Scott Faul is a North Dakota man convicted for his role in the February 13, 1983 shootout near Medina, where federal marshals attempted to arrest tax protester Gordon Kahl. Two marshals were killed. Faul testified that he did not recognize the men blocking his vehicle as law enforcement and that one threatened him with a shotgun. The defense argued that they returned fire in self-defense. A federal jury convicted Faul of second-degree murder, and he received concurrent life terms plus consecutive terms of ten and five years. The U.S. Parole Commission denied him parole in February 2025.
