Biography

During the February 21, 1985 Bohemian Grove protest-cases hearing, Don Eichelberger declared contempt for the court and was physically taken to jail. The contemporary report explicitly says he spent five days there. The day is anchored by the report’s preceding February 22 hearing and its words the previous day. Actual completed five days are documented, but the release day is not back-calculated. The underlying Tad Muttersbaugh and Kate Raphael cases do not become his own protest-arrest charges.
