Biography

Corey Donahue was one of the most-arrested figures of the entire Occupy movement, an Occupy Denver organizer cited and detained dozens of times during the Civic Center Park encampment. Most prominently he was charged in connection with a November 13, 2011 incident at the encampment with two felony counts of inciting a riot plus a misdemeanor obstruction count. Donahue eventually pleaded out via a global plea deal and served approximately 9 months at the Denver County Jail on the riot/obstruction charges (concurrent with separate misdemeanor unlawful-sexual-contact case from a March 2012 confrontation with TV journalist Eli Stokols, which complicated his support among other Occupy organizers).

Initial detention verified October 12, 2026: Westword's December 7, 2011 contemporary report explicitly identifies the November 13 arrest and actual November 16 bond release. This three-elapsed-day episode is separate from the legacy later-sentence record. The legacy 2013 interval and global-plea narrative remain unverified in this pass and must not be treated as established by this source.
