First Protester Sentenced For Pro-Palestine Demonstration On I-5
(Portland, OR) -- A pro-Palestinian protester who participated in a demonstration that shut down I-5 in Lane County in April will serve a year and a half probation. Samuel Joseph Yergler was sentenced to 18 months probation and fined 100 dollars earlier this week after a jury found him guilty of second-degree disorderly conduct. Yergler is the first protester to be sentenced for the incident. The protest halted traffic for nearly an hour.
