Biography

Edward James Olmos, the Mexican-American actor of Stand and Deliver and Battlestar Galactica, was arrested in April 2001 for trespassing at the U.S. Navy's Camp García bombing range on Vieques, Puerto Rico, joining the mass civil disobedience that followed the April 1999 killing of civilian guard David Sanes by an errant Navy bomb. Sentenced to 20 days on August 10, 2001, he was released from federal detention in Guaynabo on August 24, 2001 and continued supporting the campaign, which won the Navy's withdrawal from the island in May 2003.
