EUGENE — An arsonist who avoided federal prison five years ago by helping lock up Earth Liberation Front activists is headed to state prison for selling heroin.

...

He was on probation under a 2007 plea deal for his role in arsons by an ELF band known as The Family. Targets included a meat-packing company, car dealership, ranger station and lumber company. Ferguson is depicted as the leader of the group in the documentary "If A Tree Falls."

He faces a probation revocation hearing July 14 in federal court.

I doubt Jake is going to find a fed slammer to his liking, he won’t go to one of the country clubs.

Heroin Sales? Damn, old Jake disappoints me. I would have expected nothing short of interstate transport of explosives...

If we’d legalize drugs, people like Ferguson wouldn’t burn down other people’s properties.

Back from the field for a few days. Thanks for the ping!

I love it when arrogant criminals think they've eluded justice for one crime only to get taken down for an entirely different one.

Poetic justice.
