Biography
Ron Faust was arrested during the April 15, 2012 anti-drone protest at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
The September 2012 Nuclear Resister explicitly identifies Ron Faust and Brian Terrell as arrested with Mark Kenney at the April 15 Whiteman Air Force Base protest. It reports that Faust and Terrell pleaded not guilty and announced a September trial that was still prospective. No individual statutory charge, jail admission, final discharge or measured custody duration is supplied for Faust.
The October 12, 2012 report records Ron Faust’s October 11 sentencing in federal court in Jefferson City, Missouri, following the April 15 Whiteman Air Force Base anti-drone arrest. Faust received five years of probation, while Brian Terrell received a separate six-month prison sentence. Faust’s probation is not reported as a five-year imprisonment term.
The same account names Mark Kenney, Brian Terrell and Ron Faust as the three people arrested at Whiteman Air Force Base on April 15, 2012. They were led to a gym for processing and rejoined the supporters within seventy-five minutes with federal statements charging trespass. This initial processing was separate from the later court proceedings. Contemporary source.
Art Laffin’s September 2011 Kansas City courtroom account identifies Ron Faust among six people who testified for the defense during the trial arising from the May 2 nuclear-weapons-parts-plant protest. The passage does not individually assign Faust a jail term or establish a custody interval. The Nuclear Resister, contemporary source report 840.
