Nick Martin was released this morning after serving five days of a seven-day sentence issued last Tuesday.
Martin participated in a drill rig lock-down on Coal River Mountain last November and went to court on four charges: trespassing, conspiracy, littering and obstruction. Aside from the status hearing, he attended a bail violation hearing for failure to appear to an earlier court date of which he did not receive notice. Magistrate Massie was reluctant to return the $2000 bail unless Martin would plead guilty to trespassing and obstruction and served his sentence immediately.
Martin took the plea and was sentenced to seven days in jail and $55 in fines for the 2 charges. The littering and conspiracy charges were dropped.
Martin had faced up to two and a half years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines.



Sleep well Nick and blessed be.
Is that a seatbelt?
Thank you Nick!!! :O) Blessed be!
Bet that left hand’s holding a cancer stick out of sight. Poisioning our air again,Mr Nick clean up your own act first.
Yeah, I bet right after that picture was taken he smugly exhaled smoke into the driver’s face and said, “Thanks for the ride…jerk.”
I just hope the ride wasn’t the pollute ridden, un-American, sedan.
So glad your home safe and sound. Thank you for being brave and doing what you believe is right.
Kinda testy there Johnny. When Mr Martin cleans up his own act I’ll listen to anything he has to say. Oh by the way Johnny, any chance you’r a smoker? If so , shame on you.
