Bracken, an award-winning journalist, had travelled from her home to the site several days prior to the arrest. Although things were initially quiet, tensions escalated and the service road was blockaded, prompting the RCMP to set up an “exclusion zone” aimed at determining who could proceed further up the road.
Bracken says she was first taken to the Houston RCMP detachment and put in a jail cell, where she spent a cold night. They said Bracken took every reasonable step to ensure RCMP were aware of her presence that day and had identified herself to police before, during and after the arrest. They claim Bracken had not violated the injunction.
