Malheur: 9 more people in 6 states charged

... Federal prosecutors say nine additional people from six states have been charged in connection with the armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge ...

That means a total of 25 people have been charged with the standoff. They all face the same felony count of conspiracy to interfere with federal workers.

The newly charged include: Blaine Cooper of Arizona; Wesley Kjar of Utah; Corey Lequieu of Nevada; Neil Wampler of California, Jason Blomgren of North Carolina, and Darryl Thorn and Eric Flores, both of Washington state.

The names of the two being sought haven’t been released ...
