Biography

Bob Henschen was individually named among seven protesters arrested August 10, 1986 while blocking traffic into the Pantex nuclear-weapons assembly plant near Amarillo. The original contemporary account explicitly says all seven were taken into custody and held for two nights while supporters raised cash bail. This establishes a multi-night pretrial jail stay, not a conviction. It supplies no physical release calendar day, exact 48-hour or elapsed-day total, or statutory charge. February 1987 was only the anticipated trial period.
