Three Remain in Jail
Yesterday, four individuals halted blasting on Coal River Mountain. They are now
charged with trespassing, conspiracy, obstruction, and littering; bail has been set
at $2,000 cash-only per-person.
Early this morning, we were able to bail Nick Martin out of jail. He gladly gave his
thoughts on the action, “I’m proud to have been part of something that successfully
stopped blasting. This act of nonviolent civil disobedience is only a small piece of
a resounding call to save Coal River Mountain.”
The powerful actions of our friends did not go unnoticed by community members. Bo
Webb, a resident of Naoma said, “The people of the Coal River Valley who are
threatened by this sludge dam failure are appreciative, at least I am very
appreciative, and proud of these folks to risk arrest of themselves in order to
protect this community.”
In light of his return home, Nick further stated, “I am glad to be out of jail and
back in a loving community of friends, thanks to everyone who supported us during
this action. I can’t wait to see the others and I hope we can bail them out soon.”
Laura Von Dohlen, Grace Williams, and Dea Goblirsch will remain in jail until we can
gather enough donations to bail them out as well.
