Zeb Mountain 4 released July 20.2008

After being arrested and taken to the Campbell County jail for processing the Zeb Mountain 4 were released that same day without a bail or bond by order of the Campbell County Sheriff. This may have been partly due to the fact that UMD volunteers and attorneys approached the sheriff's department more than a week prior to the action to alert them to its non violent intent. It is nice that our friends did not go to jail. While being processed the Zeb 4 shared their knowledge about the coal mining with local clerks, deputies, and other county personnel who seemed very supportive and commented on how much they despise the mining as well. Their next court appearance is Aug 8.
