Oil poured on ND State Capitol believed to be related to DAPL protest

BISMARCK – A spokesman for the North Dakota Highway Patrol says a case of vandalism involving oil poured on the State Capitol on Halloween night appears to be related to the Dakota Access Pipeline protest, as those responsible left a sign saying “You can’t drink oil,” a popular refrain among protesters.

Lt. Tom Iverson said a “decent amount” of motor oil was poured on the sidewalk, limestone walls and windows at about 9:32 p.m. around the entrance of the legislative wing on the west side of the complex.

Security footage showed a vehicle and two people dressed in black carrying motor oil and the sign, the patrol said. The incident remains under investigation.
