Daryl Hannah arrested in Texas protesting pipeline HOUSTON (AP) — Actress Daryl Hannah of "Splash" fame was arrested in northeast Texas on Thursday, along with a 78-year-old landowner as the pair protested an oil pipeline designed to bring crude from Canada to the Gulf Coast. "They've arrested Daryl Hannah and a rural Texas great-grandmother," said Paul Bassis, Hannah's manager. Hannah and landowner Eleanor Fairchild were standing in front of heavy equipment in an attempt to halt construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on Fairchild's farm in Winnsboro, a town about 100 miles east of Dallas. They were arrested for criminal trespassing and taken to the Wood County Jail, Bassis said. Hannah also faces a charge of resisting arrest, according to jail records. Hannah has long opposed TransCanada's construction of the $7 billion pipeline, which is designed to transport heavy tar-sands crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to Texas' Gulf Coast refineries. Daryl Hannah you rock!  Daryl!!

2. If she is a repuke

Then this is even better. They're usually on the side of big oil. I'm very surprised she would go through an arrest.

6. Texas grandmother arrested for trespassing on her own land to protest Keystone

Daryl Hannah got arrested yesterday while blocking TransCanada’s construction of its Gulf Coast tar-sands pipeline. But the more interesting story is that Eleanor Fairchild was arrested, too.
Tar Sands BlockadeEleanor Fairchild, a 78-year-old grandmother and landowner. Who’s Eleanor Fairchild? No one you’ve heard of. The important part isn’t who she is, it’s why she was arrested and where she was when it happened. Fairchild was arrested for trespassing. And when it happened, she was standing on her own property.  ?w=250&h=187
