1 Charge Dismissed For Journalist Arrested at DAPL protest, 1 Pending

"A journalist arrested last year while covering the Dakota Access Pipeline protest is expected to have at least one criminal charge dismissed while a judge considers a defense motion to also dismiss a trespassing charge.

Morton County prosecutors filed a motion Thursday to dismiss a charge of engaging in a riot against journalist Jenni Monet.

Monet also is charged with trespassing, but defense attorneys argue that charge should be dismissed as well."
