The Green Party’s Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates face misdemeanor charges in Morton County – for vandalizing heavy equipment belonging to the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Jill Stein and Ajamu (ah-ZHA-moo)Baraka (buh-RAWK-uh) are charged with Criminal Trespass and Criminal mischief. And warrants have been issued for their arrests.
The Morton County State’s Attorney’s office says the two went on private property and spray painted slogans on Caterpillar bulldozers. The graffiti said “I approve this message” and “We need decolonization.”
Neither are in custody.
