The Nuclear Resister individually names Bob Graf among seven peace activists arrested at Volk Field in Wisconsin on November 12, 2019 during a protest mourning children killed by U.S. military drones. Juneau County officers handcuffed the seven and took them to the station in Mauston, where they were cited for trespassing and released. The report does not establish a jail admission or measured confinement duration; station processing is not treated as imprisonment.
