NY: Two Protesters Arrested for Blockading Spectra AIM Pipeline

HeadlineMay 26, 2016

In Peekskill, New York, two protesters were arrested Wednesday after police extracted them from a shipping container blockading the construction yard of a gas pipeline. Spectra’s AIM pipeline is slated to run only hundreds of feet from the aging Indian Point nuclear power plant. Lee Stewart and Jane Kendall had locked themselves in the fully sustainable shipping container to blockade the pipeline’s construction just after dawn on Wednesday morning. They have been charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing and obstructing government administration.
