Olympia Attorney LeGrand Jones in Tacoma Court Wednesday

Courtroom support has been requested.

LeGrand Jones, a local attorney from Olympia, was the first person arrested during this round of PMR activity in Tacoma, for failing to provide his cattle tag to the overseer when requested. He will appear in Court at Tacoma's City-County building at 1:30PM Wednesday, and requests the pleasure of our company if we are able.

Please come dressed for court. A friend of the defendant will provide wrist binders if you are so inclined (to send a visual message).

Here's a synopsis of the film from EnhanceTV/Cutting Edge
