Nebraska authorities arrested an activist seeking an end to alcohol sales in Whiteclay on Friday morning before he had a chance to file a complaint against a Whiteclay beer store owner. Nebraska State Patrol troopers arrested T.R. McKenzie, a member of the group Deep Green Resistance, in the state office building minutes before he planned to file a complaint with the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. McKenzie had planned to speak with the media after filing a complaint against Jason Schwarting, owner of Arrowhead Inn, a beer store in Whiteclay. "He was the messenger, but they took the messenger away," said Jessica Garraway, another member of Deep Green Resistance.Get the Story:
