BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Munitions were expected to be detonated Monday as attorneys attempt to gather evidence in a federal lawsuit by a Dakota Access pipeline protester who was injured in a skirmish with law enforcement officers during the height of demonstrations against the pipeline.
Sophia Wilansky claims police targeted her with a concussion grenade as law enforcement tried to prevent protesters from breaching a blocked highway bridge near their main encampment in November 2016 in south central North Dakota. Demonstrators were turned back by officers who used tear gas among other things.
