Update on Arrest



Here is an update for those of you who haven't been in the loop:

I was arrested with eight other folks on October 22nd for direct action against MTR on a mine site in Kanawha County, WV. We locked down across a haul road for several hours before the police figured out how to release the four locked down.

Each of us were originally held at $2,000 cash only bail. A wonderful lawyer managed to have our bond reduced to $200 each, and we were bailed out on October 24th.

We have been charged with Trespassing B, Obstruction, and Conspiracy. A maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine or two years in jail. Currently we are all awaiting pre-trial.





There are several links on the right of this webpage that will take you to articles about the action if you'd like to know more; however, the best source is often primary so feel free to e-mail me.
