A 76-year-old veteran was arrested in Greenville, Tennessee for asking members at a town board meeting to speak up. This apparent danger to society stated the board had assembled at a roped off table well in front of citizens in attendance to discuss a pipeline that would dump waste into a local river. According to Overholt the board was speaking softly enough the audience could not hear. After asking the board to speak up the veteran was charged with disorderly conduct. He then ask to sit down as he was tired, but instead was cuffed and placed under arrest for resisting arrest.
The company that is asking for a permit to build the pipeline was rejected once before due to community opposition. They are seeking another permit for this same line.
This little community, has its big government corruption of its own apparently. One of the board members, according to Overholt sold property to the company building the pipeline. The veteran wants the board member removed for a conflict of interest.
Another potential river pollution site waiting to happen. Good to see a veteran still willing to hold his ground. He should not fight this alone.
