Biography

Christopher Proctor is a Salt Lake City based punk rock musician and anarchist who was arrested after a masked man left a gasoline can with a lit wick attached under a local news van. The wick burned out before reaching the gasoline, and nobody was injured. Federal authorities initially raided the home of two Muslim men while investigating the incident and arrested them before a Judge dismissed the charges. Proctor was then charged with the crime.
