DNA collected from a discarded cigarette butt has been used to charge a man accused of causing damage during a Dakota Access pipeline protest three years ago.
BISMARCK, N.D. — Authorities in North Dakota relied on DNA collected from a cigarette butt to charge a man with engaging in a riot for his part in a Dakota Access pipeline protest three years ago that caused damage estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to an affidavit.
The protesters, who called themselves water protectors, said the pipeline was an invasion of sacred tribal lands that threatened to contaminate the water supply and destroy cultural resources. Some said the fight was about religious freedom, tribal sovereignty and human rights.
