Kate AgerFree Concord’s Garret Ean has a full report on the results of Kate’s arrest at the Manchester chalking event this summer:

Of the three remaining charges (the state was pursuing four at trial, one was dropped prior to the delayed verdict) Kate was found not guilty of false report, guilty of resisting, and guilty of violation-level disorderly conduct. The state was pursuing misdemeanor level convictions for all of the charges, so it appears Mr. Lyons himself determined that Kate was not guilty of the ‘disorderly’ misdemeanor charge, but found her actions to qualify at the violation level.

UPDATE: Kate has not yet been sentenced.
