“I feel that this company has a lot of power over this town,” Curtis Vollmar said of Smithfield Foods, which at one point employed 1 of every 4 workers in the county, including Beaver City's mayor. “There’s probably a lot of political pressure to convict.'
Curtis Vollmar, the legislation and social media manager for the animal advocacy group Direct Action Everywhere, was found guilty by Fifth District Judge Shadrach C. Bradshaw at the Beaver County Justice Court. While the trespass charge is a Class B misdemeanor with the potential for six months of jail time, Bradshaw sentenced Vollmar to a $850 fine for the two charges combined.
The defendants were acquitted last October of burglarizing the Smithfield facility in nearby Milford. Unlike that trial, there was no jury Tuesday and the judge made the ultimate decision and verdict. After the verdict Tuesday, Vollmar said “yeah, definitely” when asked by St. George News if he will appeal.
