As you may recall, Rich Paul, the creator of the historic 420 celebrations in Keene was arrested for smoking pot at Pumpkin Fest 2009. He is now serving a sentence of twelve days for refusing to pay the fines the court imposed.

As you may recall, last summer, talented activist and Free Keene blogger Meg McLain was arrested with me, Wes, and Rich Paul for standing in front of the Keene police cruisers as they attempted to kidnap Keene native Heika Courser for enjoying a beer in the park on a Sunday afternoon. Some video of the original arrests are here.
Now, nearly a year later, the matter is coming to a jury trial. Meg faces charges including “Obstructing Government Administration” and the old standby, “Disorderly Conduct”. Come out at 9am to Cheshire Superior Court and see it for yourself. Here’s the facebook event.
For standing in front of a police car, she faces as much as two years in jail.
