A large protest forces a drilling site to suspend operations Sunday near the Moshannon State Forest. Three were arrested from the protests. Forest Patrolman Jeremy Hamilton is used to drilling protests near the Moshannon State Forest. Today he admitted he had never seen one like this. Steve Cleghorn, a local farmer against drilling went to show his support. The group says its main mission was to prevent trucks from accessing the turkey well pad. They did just that. The group set up ten blockades which were mostly trees and rocks preventing trucks from getting to the site. They said they also had tree sitters in the air and if their ropes were cut those sitting sixty feet in the air would fall down.
