PSWI Reaches Plea Agreement with Anoka County

Project to Stop the War Industry (PSWI) has accepted a plea agreement with Anoka County. All 8 remaining arrestees from the July 2nd lockdown across the driveway of the ATK weapons manufacturing facility have plead guilty to one misdemeanor count of Public Nuisance in a deal that will allow the conviction to be reduced to a petty (and therefore not a crime) in a year's time pending no same or similar convictions, and with the completion of 20 hours of self-reporting community work service. Each arrestee was returned their cash bail minus a $101 fine--all other fines and fees were waived. Thanks to a large number of contributions, PSWI now has under $1000 in legal fees to raise in the coming months. Look for updates on www.twincities.indymedia.org for details on upcoming PSWI benefits.We would like all who have supported us throughout this process, and those who packed the courtroom on Thursday. We support the continued struggle to stop the war and its profiteers, and we encourage all people take direct action to dismantle the war industry in our communities.
