CNSNews.com) – Gary Harrington, the Oregon man convicted of
collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his rural property surrendered
Wednesday morning to begin serving his 30-day, jail sentence in Medford,
Ore.
“I’m sacrificing my liberty so we can stand up as a country and stand
for our liberty,” Harrington told a small crowd of people gathered
outside of the Jackson County (Ore.) Jail.
Several people held signs that showed support for Harrington as he was taken inside the jail.
Harrington was found guilty
two weeks ago of breaking a 1925 law for having, what state water
managers called “three illegal reservoirs” on his property. He was
convicted of nine misdemeanors, sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined
over $1500 for collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his property.
