Captain Mike Holbrook of the Wise County Sheriff’s Department says that security officers and deputies monitoring the area took the protesters into custody and they were all charged with felony trespassing at the site in St. Paul. They were taken to Wise for arraignment.
About 30 people entered the site of about 6 a.m. today to protest Dominion’s $1.8 billion coal-fired power plant. Many stuck their arms through holes in steel drums that were chained to an entrance gate.
Holbrook said a fire crew was called to cut the protesters free from the drums, but they removed their arms as firefighters began sawing the tops off.
The protesters say the 585-megawatt power plant poses a health risk and would create a greater demand for coal derived from mountaintop removal mining.
All of those arrested were released on bond notices.

Cleveland OH police lieutenant sent to prison over payroll thefts www.privateofficer.com
Cleveland OH police lieutenant sent to prison for payroll thefts http://www.privateofficer.com
Eddie Jackson, 54, a 23-year-veteran, was fired in June after a Cuyahoga County jury found him guilty of theft in office and eight counts of tampering with records between November 2005 and June 2006.
Common Pleas Judge Peter Corrigan gave Jackson four years on each count but ran them all concurrently.
Corrigan told Jackson that he had an important job of investigating complaints against police officers. The judge then admonished Jackson for violating the public’s trust and stealing nearly $7,500 from the Police Department.
“You felt like the rules didn’t apply to you and implied some sort of conspiracy,” Corrigan said. “You didn’t do what you were supposed to do.”
Jackson declined to address the court when given the chance. Jackson’s lawyer asked that his client be freed while the conviction is appealed, but Corrigan denied the request.
Jackson’s theft came to the attention of the department’s Office of Internal Affairs when he refused to investigate rumors that others in his office were cooking the duty reports and getting paid more than they deserved.
The Overtime Review Unit investigated Jackson, comparing time stamps on video footage of Jackson arriving and leaving the office to the hours he claimed to have been at work.
The investigation concluded that on 102 of the 128 days in question, Jackson filled out his timesheets vaguely and inaccurately and was paid about $7,000 more than he earned.

A security officer in fear for his life said that he fired shots at two pit bulldogs early today after he said they were sicced on him.
Oscar Washington said he was patrolling the Shirewood Apartments in Shreveport when someone released the dogs. The dogs charged straight at him as he was walking in the complex.
He said as the dogs came closer to him he shot at one of the dogs. The dog ran away and it’s not known if it was hit.
The security officer notified police and animal control and the other dog was captured by animal control a short time afterwards.
“I’ve never had anyone sic dogs on me like that, and if I hadn’t did what I did they would have eaten me alive,” Washington said.
Police say that if it’s found that a person did command the dogs to attack, they could face felony assault charges.
