(Video) Willits, CA Tree Sitters Removed and Arrested in Highway 101 Bypass Protest
Warbler has come to earth.
Police arrested the 24-year-old tree sitter, whose real name is Amanda Senseman, on Tuesday morning, bringing an end to her two-month act of civil disobedience aimed at stopping a Highway 101 bypass construction near Willits.
A supporter said police arrested two other tree sitters as well, reportedly after firing a projectile at one who refused to let go of his tree.
More protesters reportedly remained in other trees on the site at noon, with multiple California Highway Patrol officers in the area.
