Drew Hendricks appeared in Thurston County Court at 3:30 pm today. He was arrested at 3:15 this morning at the Port of Olympia and is still in custody as of this writing. He is expected to be released at 7 pm. Drew is charged with 2nd degree trespass. He will be released on his own recognizance after his attorney verified his address. He is not required to pay bail. The judge restricted Drew from entering Port of Olympia property, at the request of the state. The judge did not specify how long this restriction would be in place.
Drew Hendricks is a committed Olympia CopWatch activist and host of Seeking Justice/Olympia CopWatch on Free Radio Olympia 98.5 Tuesdays at 5 pm. Drew is committed to keeping track of police activities and police violence, and CopWatch is the only organization that does so in the absence of a citizen review board in Olympia. Drew has covered many people's cases and their interactions with police, and police abuses in Olympia. Olympia, please return the favor and stand in support with Drew Hendricks now.

Submitted by DrewHendricks on Tue, 05/23/2006 - 10:53pm.The fishwrapper stated that I had a "struggle" with the guard. We were not in physical direct contact at any time except as I walked toward the open gate to leave, and he body checked me to keep me there. We did not struggle or fight in the ordinary sense of that word.
Yes, I was arrested on appropriate probable cause for a deliberate civil disobedient act. I broke the law which says I cannot control that which I have paid to be brought into existence, which pretends to exist at my consent.
I no longer agree to pretend I consent to this American Empire. I am for the Republic. Where do you stand?
