Federal Judge Fines Animal-Rights Activist In Firebombing Incident Investigation

SEATTLE —

A federal magistrate judge has fined a Friday

Harbor animal-rights activist and sentenced her to probation for

failing to cooperate with a grand jury investigating the

firebombing of a forest-products company.

45-year-old Allison Lance

Watson had refused to answer questions raised by investigators

looking into a fire at the Olympia headquarters of Holbrook

Incorporated. U-S Magistrate Judge Monica Benton in Seattle put

Watson on probation for two years and ordered her to pay a

five-thousand-dollar fine.

Watson was accused of lying about

whether an activist friend, considered a suspect in the firebombing

in May of 2000, had used a truck Watson had rented.
