Biography
Mauro Heck was individually named in contemporary reporting on an antiwar protest arrest on 2015-12-27.
The contemporary Hammering for Peace reports identify Iowa City photographer Mauro Heck among four people arrested at Northrop Grumman in Bellevue, Nebraska on December 27, 2015 and taken to Sarpy County Jail. Police initially alleged felony burglary and criminal mischief involving damage valued at $5,000 or more. Heck, Frank Cordaro and Michele Naar-Obed were bailed out on December 29; the reports state that their charges were dismissed on January 26, 2016. Bail was not a fine, and the dismissal is not described as an acquittal. No completed-day total is supplied here. Contemporary report, The Nuclear Resister.
Frank Cordaro’s December 30, 2015 firsthand report explicitly states that Mauro Heck, Michele Naar-Obed and he had spent the last two days in Sarpy County Jail following the Northrop Grumman action. The same report describes all three posting bail by the end of December 29. This directly documented completed two-day stay is distinct from Jessica Reznicek’s longer imprisonment. The January 26 dismissal of the supporters’ charges did not extend their jail stay. Contemporary firsthand report, The Nuclear Resister.
