Whom the feds hauled in

Yesterday's odd announcement by Portland's law-and-order U.S. attorney gives us a chance to see whom the federal troops have arrested at the protests here, and what the arrestees are charged with. I couldn't resist creating a spreadsheet based on the press release. I've attempted to post it here.

Here are some facts that you might find interesting:

  • The average age of the defendants is 28.13 years old.
  • The crimes they are charged with are:

Charge

Arson
3
Assaulting a federal officer 
38

Creating a hazard on federal property
2
Damaging government property
1
Destruction of federal property 
1
Disorderly conduct 
1
Failing to obey a lawful order
17

  • In addition, 11 citations were issued for other, presumably lesser, offenses. Seventy-four people have been accused of some federal offense. Almost everyone is from the Portland metro area. One defendant is from Eugene, and another from Texas.
  • The biggest nights for federal busts were from July 21 to 29. Since then, only four people are shown as having been arrested by federal officers.
