Micklem Released Sunday

Roland Micklem was released from Southwestern Regional Jail Sunday June 27th, having served 14 days of his 20 day sentence. Micklem was able to work on laundry duty while in jail, resulting in his early release.

Micklem’s sentence is from when he, along with McGuinness, Joe Hamsher and Fred Williamson, blocked the entrance to Massey Energy’s regional headquarters outside Madison, W.Va., last September.

Micklem released this statement upon sentencing. He plans to head back to Savannah, New York to organize around the recent oil spill in the Gulf Coast.
