Michael Wallschlaeger was an anarchist radio producer arrested with Elliot Madison in the Pittsburgh G20 protest communications case in September 2009. A first-person account of the Tortuga collective raids reports about 30 hours of actual detention in Allegheny County Jail before bail. The account describes approximately 30 hours in Allegheny County Jail before bail and reports that the Pennsylvania prosecution withdrew the charges in November 2009 in the furtherance of justice. The account conflicts internally about the September arrest day, so only month precision is used. A separate October 1 New York parking-ticket detention was immediately dismissed and is not assigned a substantive imprisonment period.
