Bruce Guthrie released the following statement this morning:
A few weeks ago, I was collecting signatures in a public park in Edmonds.
I had every right to be there — I was peacefully exercising my rights.
The Arts Festival signed a contract (see Section 2.3) that guaranteed that the park was a public forum and First Amendment activities would not be hindered or infringed.
Nonetheless, one of the organizers of the event called the Edmonds police that showed up in force and ordered several petitioners, including me, to leave.
All of them left except me because I believed I had to stand up for our rights.
For doing that, I was handcuffed, arrested, criticized, shoved in the back of a police car, driven to jail, booked, strip searched, and detained for hours in a jail cell filled with criminals until my wife secured the money to bail me out.
It was an experience that was embarrassing, demeaning, scary, and painful both physically and emotionally.
I had been scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, July 17.
GOOD NEWS: last week, hundreds of you sent emails to the Edmonds mayor, city council, police chief, and city prosecutor telling them to DROP IT.
BEST NEWS: I’m proud to say you made it happen — today, the city agreed to drop all criminal charges against me. My attorney Mark Lamb called me early this afternoon with the good news.
It is a huge relief – a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders.
I can’t thank you enough for having my back and helping me with this.
The next step is for my attorney to file a lawsuit against those responsible that is sizable enough so this kind of travesty of justice never happens to anyone else ever again.
And I want to make this very clear: if there is a money judgment, none of it will go to me or my family.
I will be donating every dollar I would have received to political causes I believe in.
My mission is to make sure what happened to me never happens to anyone else ever again.
Thank you again for helping me.

Why didn’t Bob Ferguson help Bruce?
Because it didn’t fit his political agenda.
And because he’s way too busy targeting his political enemies.
And not just Arlene — he’s wasted more taxpayer money going after me than all other cases in the last 12 years COMBINED!
I urge you to help me fight back against the AG’s abuse of power by donating to the Tim Eyman Legal Defense Fund so we can get this ridiculously unconstitutional ruling overturned.
