    Officers made a traffic stop on County Road 86 near construction cite.  The driver was arrested for conspiracy to commit obstruction of a government function.  Officers say they witnessed the driver transporting protesters. During an inventory search of the vehicle, officers found paint and mechanisms protesters are using to attach themselves to construction equipment.  Authorities have impounded the van.
    Law enforcement also arrested two men after they were connected to trespassing on another construction site.  They were found walking in the area.  They were both arrested for conspiracy to commit reckless endangerment, conspiracy to commit obstruction of a government function, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.  One was arrested for criminal facilitation.  The other person was arrested for conspiracy to commit criminal facilitation and both were arrested for criminal trespass.
    “The Morton County States Attorney’s office will pursue felony charges against the protesters who attached themselves to equipment due to the seriousness of the crime. Law enforcement officers are put in a dangerous situation when freeing these individuals, there is also a danger posed to DAPL, their workers and equipment along with the protester putting themselves also in a dangerous circumstance. We continue to encourage people to protest in peaceful and lawful manners,” said Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier.
