- 8 years ago
Actress Shailene Woodley has been arrested in North Dakota while protesting against a planned pipeline that Native Americans say will desecrate sacred land and damage the environment.
What happened?
The 24-year-old was taken into custody with 27 other people.
Officials say they face charges of misdemeanor, criminal trespass or engaging in a riot.
A spokesperson said Woodley was among the last arrested and was taken into custody after she left the private property.
The events were streamed live on Facebook.
As she was led away in handcuffs, Woodley said she was being singled out “because I am well-known, because I have 40,000 people watching.”
