According to an article from today’s “the Olympian,”
<a href="http://www.theolympian.com/672/story/519575.html">
http://www.theolympian.com/672/story/519575.html</a>, Bryan Rivera, a.k.a
Bryan Lefey, a.k.a. “Rat Dog,” was arrested Wednesday on charges relating
to a July 2000 Earth Liberation Front action at the U.S. Forest Service
Facility in Rhinelander, WI, where genetic research was being conducted
on trees.<br><br>
The charges stem from an unsealed indictment out of the Western District
of Michigan, which also names Katherine Christianson as an alleged
co-conspirator.<br><br>
Daniel McGowan is currently being held in civil contempt for refusing to
cooperate with a Grand Jury in Wisconsin’s Western District.. For more

</pre><font size=3>An alleged Earth Liberation Front member was arrested
by FBI agents at an Olympia residence Wednesday morning, and is charged
with causing $500,000 worth of damage to research trees at a U.S. Forest
Service facility in Rhinelander, Wisc. in July 2000, court papers
state.<br><br>
Bryan Rivera, a.k.a Bryan Lefey, a.k.a. "Rat Dog," is charged
in an unsealed federal indictment filed in the Western District of
Wisconsin with one count each of depredation of government property in
excess of $500 and depredation of government property in excess of
$1,000.<br><br>
An official at the Federal Public Defender in Tacoma confirmed today that
Rivera was being held at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac.<br><br>
FBI agents served Rivera, 31, with an arrest warrant at his home in the
500 block of East Bay Drive Wednesday morning, Robbie Burroughs, an FBI
spokesman, confirmed Thursday. The spokesman would not release details on
the charges until today. <br><br>
According to the indictment: in July 2000, Rivera and two other suspects
conspired to damage trees at the Rhinelander facility using "
'etching cream, saws, scraping tools and other items."<br><br>
"The conspirators believed that the U.S. Forest Service Facility in
Rhinelander was an appropriate target for direct action because the
facility was performing a genetic research project on trees," reads
the indictment. "The conspirators decided to do the attack in
combination with their planned protests at the International Society of
Animal Geneticists (ISAG protests) occurring in late July of 2000 in
Minneapolis, Minn."<br><br>
In addition to damaging 500 trees at the facility, the group also used
spray paint and etching cream to damage U.S. Forest Service vehicles with
references to ELF, the indictment states.<br><br>
After the vandalism, alleged co-conspirator Katherine Christianson, along
with a man not named as a defendant in the indictment, sent a communique
on behalf of ELF. "The communique ended with the words: ‘We are
everywhere and we are nowhere and we are watching. For wildness and an
end to industrial society.’ It was signed ‘ELF Earth Liberation
Front," reads the indictment.<br><br>
