Chris DeVries, 38, may go to trial in August or September. On June 21, DeVries organized a North Conway protest he called âSkate Away the Hate,â which involved people riding bicycles and skateboards down White Mountain Highway from Schouler Park to Depot Road and back. At the protest, DeVries spoke through a bullhorn and listed demands that he said came from local chapters of Black Lives Matter. âIf we divest funds from police and prison systems, we all benefit,â said DeVries. âThose funds can go to local communities and social services.â The following month, DeVries was charged with six counts of possessing child sexual abuse images, one count of possession of hallucinogenic psilocybin mushrooms and one count of falsifying physical evidence.
