About 300 people gathered outside Morton County's law enforcement center and jail on Tuesday afternoon to show support for a protester who remains locked up — while the rest have bonded out.

Olowan Martinez, 42, of South Dakota, was arrested for trespassing on private property during a Dakota Access Pipeline protest in rural Morton County on Sept. 13. The arrest triggered a warrant from Nebraska, where she is wanted on a felony charge. She continues to be held while she awaits extradition there.

Carrying signs reading "Free Olowan," the protesters, many with bandannas over their faces, raised their fists and called out to her — "loud enough so she can hear us from inside," said Mark Tilsen, of South Dakota.

"The goal is to get her out and to show that we miss her and that we love her and that we're just waiting for her to serve her time and just be back at camp," said Cody Hall, spokesman for the Red Warrior Camp.

Hall recognized — and said Martinez does, too — that she consented to the extradition by waiving her right to a hearing on the matter last week.
