Ojore's arraignment report

Please forward to anyone that needs or wants an update, so we can get some funds
raised.

Ojore had an arraignment this morning, Thursday January 28, at 11 am
in the La Junta City Courthouse. Ojore was formally charged with
“Interfering with Public Transportation,”a class 3 felony, based on
allegations from train passengers that Ojore made “terroristic
threats against the train” while on a personal phone call while he was
a passenger the Amtrak train. Ojore has said that he was having a
political conversation with a friend at the time.

The prosecution initially asked for a $50,000 bond citing Ojore’s
previous ”criminal” background and imprisonment as well as him being an
out of state resident.
The defense argued for a $1,000 bond citing Ojore’s links to the
Denver community and housing available to him as well as his
previous imprisonment being a “politically biased imprisonment”.

The judge ruled that Ojore’s bond would be set at $30,000,
justifying this amount because Ojore is an out of state resident, and
in 1982 Ojore was convicted of a failure to appear charge and presently
posed a flight risk due to this history.

Denver Anarchist Black Cross Federation members were present for
the hearing and are presently in La Junta working to bail him out. A
bondsmen has been secured that will post bond for Ojore at the cost of
$4,500. This cost has been fronted by various amazing folks from across
the country, but much of this money is being loaned. Ojore is in major
need of donations to help pay these loans back!

effort. Donations can be sent via paypal to: timABCF@aol.com
