Man arrested, sentenced to 30 days in jail for collecting rainwater
"Gary Harrington, the Oregon man convicted of collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his rural property surrendered Wednesday morning to begin serving his 30-day, jail sentence in Medford, Ore.," CNSNews.com reported last week.
"'I'm sacrificing my liberty so we can stand up as a country and stand for our liberty,' Harrington told a small crowd of people gathered outside of the Jackson County (Ore.) Jail.
"Several people held signs that showed support for Harrington as he was taken inside the jail.
"Harrington was found guilty two weeks ago of breaking a 1925 law for having, what state water managers called 'three illegal reservoirs' on his property. He was convicted of nine misdemeanors, sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined over $1500 for collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his property...
"...Harrington has vowed to continue to fight the penalty, stating that the government has become 'big bullies' and that 'from here on in, I'm going to fight it.'
"'They've just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies,' Harrington said in an interview two weeks ago with CNSNews.com.
"'We as Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on our rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we'll prevail,' he said."
His release is expected in early September.
