Green Scare snitch charges revealed

From The Eugene Register-Guard:

Arson informant won’t serve jail time

Posted: 7:01 PM, Wednesday, September 12, 2007

After three years sealed under court order, charges have been made
public against the man who apparently participated in at least a
dozen arsons for environmental causes and then worked undercover for
investigators who brought down the largest eco-arson ring in the
nation.

Jacob Jeremiah Ferguson, 34, is charged with one count each of
attempted arson and arson stemming from the first of at least 20
attacks in five states by a group that became known as “The Family.”

Court records indicate Ferguson made a deal to cooperate with
prosecutors in order to avoid jail. No date has been set for his
appearance in federal
court in Eugene.
