6 Face Charges In Eco-Terror Attacks December 8, 2005 By KOMO Staff & News Services SEATTLE - Six people have been arrested in connection with eco-terrorism attacks in Oregon and Washington dating back to 1998, including the destruction of a Bonneville Power Administration tower near Bend on the eve of the millennium, federal prosecutors said Thursday. The arrests were made Wednesday in New York, Virginia, Oregon and Arizona, and each of the defendants has been indicted in Oregon or Washington, the U.S. attorney's office here said. Besides the tower's destruction, the attacks included three arsons in Oregon and one in Olympia. One of the fires caused more than $500,000 in damage, and the other three caused more than $1 million, investigators said.

Those taken into custody: 28-year-old Stanislas Gregory Meyerhoff was arrested in Charlottesville, Virginia, and 31-year-old Daniel Gerard McGowan was arrested in New York City on the indictment accusing them of the 2001 fires at the Superior Lumber Company in Glendale, Oregon, and the Jefferson Poplar Farm in Clatskanie, Oregon. If convicted they could be sentenced to life in prison. 36-year-old Kevin M. Tubbs was arrested in Springfield, Oregon, and 40-year-old William C. Rodgers was arrested in Prescott, Arizona. They were indicted for the 1998 fire at the Animal and Plant and Health Inspection facility at Olympia. If convicted they face up to 20 years in prison. 28-year-old Sarah Kendall Harvey was arrested in Flagstaff, Arizona, on the indictment for the 1998 arson at U.S. Forest Industries in Medford, Oregon.
