it took 5 police cars of cops to arrest this dangerous woman

One woman was arrested and four others were served trespass warnings at a “knit-in” protest at Vermont Gas Systems’ headquarters in South Burlington Wednesday.

Jane Palmer of Monkton was arrested for trespassing when she refused to stop knitting and leave the building at the close of business at 5 p.m.

Murray asked the media to leave the headquarters at 5 p.m. Murray physically pushed Seven Days reporter Kathryn Flagg toward the door when she did not immediately comply.

The five knitters and another activist who was video recording the demonstration on their behalf stayed in the building after it closed. When the activists were served with formal trespass warnings, all but Palmer left the building.

At least five South Burlington police cars were on hand for the arrest, which took place a short time later.

As the cruiser carrying Palmer away from the scene passed her knitting friends waved from the driveway.

It is unclear if she was allowed to continue her knitting at the police station.
