BAGLEY, Minn. (KFGO) – 23 people were arrested Tuesday in Clearwater County in the latest protest over the Enbridge pipeline project. The protestors left behind debris that needed to be cleaned up.
Authorities responded to the protest on reports of upwards of 100 people placing items on the road. Deputies found debris spread out for about a mile. The debris included three 55 gallon barrels filled with concrete, an overturned car and a boat. The sheriff’s office says it took about seven hours to remove several people who had attached themselves to the objects.
The 23 people arrested were from Massachusetts, Oregon, Maine, Illinois, South Dakota, Washington DC, New York and Texas. They were charged with creating a public nuisance and obstructing the legal process.
