New federal charges filed against protester accused of shooting during arrest

More federal charges have been filed against a pipeline protester accused of shooting toward law enforcement officers in October.

Red Fawn Fallis, 37, of Colorado, allegedly fired a gun while being arrested during a police raid of the northern "front line" Dakota Access Pipeline camp Oct. 27.

An indictment filed Jan. 5 charges her with felony counts of civil disorder and discharging a firearm in relation to a felony crime of violence -- which, in this case, is civil disorder. These charges are in addition to an earlier charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
