BANGOR, Wash. — Five anti-war demonstrators were arrested after cutting through a security fence at the nuclear missile storage facility for Trident submarines at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.
The Kitsap Sun reports they carried a banner that said, “Disarm Now Plowshares: Trident: Illegal and Immoral.”
Navy spokesman Chris Haley says an alarm went off when the group entered at 6:30 a.m. Monday, and they were arrested on suspicion of trespass and destruction of government property, cited and released.
The five are identified as 81-year-old Catholic priest Bill Bischel of Tacoma, 83-year-old nun Anne Montgomery of New York City, 65-year-old Susan Crane of Baltimore, 60-year-old Lynne Greenwald of Bremerton and 60-year-old Steve Kelly of Oakland, Calif.
