Biography
Barbara Grothus was arrested during a 2012 nonviolent antiwar or antinuclear protest.
The issue names Barbara Grothus among six people arrested for blocking the Los Alamos laboratory entrance on Hiroshima Day, August 6, 2012. All six were released on recognizance and pleaded not guilty on August 9. An exact physical release day and measured custody duration are not supplied.
The January 2013 report identifies Barbara Grothus among the six August 6, 2012 Los Alamos National Laboratory arrestees and states that they were jailed for a few hours. Judge Alan Kirk tried the six on January 9, 2013, acquitted them of trespassing, and convicted them of disobeying an officer and interfering with persons on the public way. Each received $200 in fines, $82 in court fees, one year of unsupervised probation and a $60 probation fee. A. J. Salazar prosecuted the case. Proposed additional jail for refusing payment and the statutory maximum were prospective; no completed whole-day duration or exact discharge day is established.
