Three people are facing trespassing charges following a protest that occurred last week at Formosa Plastics.
At about 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Decembers, a group of activists participated in a peaceful protest against Formosa Plastics, located at 9 Peach Tree Hill Road. The group of protesters, approximately 30 people, started by protesting at three banks in town, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Chase. They eventually moved to the Formosa Plastics building.
Once there, Dianne Wilson, 76, of Seadrift, Texas; Camryn Edwards, 22, of Victoria, Texas; and Dao Lee, 46, of Humble, Texas, were arrested for defiant trespassing.
They were all transported to Livingston Police headquarters, processed, and released on a summons with a returnable court date at the Livingston Municipal Court.
