Two men visiting Pullman on a tour promoting civic involvement have been arrested for allegedly attempting to break into the National Guard Armory.
Thomas H. Goldstein, 44, and Andrew T. Crittendon, 26, are being held at the Whitman County Jail in Colfax on charges of second-degree attempted burglary and third-degree malicious mischief.
Pullman police arrested the men Wednesday night after getting a report that two people were attempting to climb the fence behind the armory.
Goldstein and Crittendon were in Pullman with The Washington Bus Project, which travels the state urging young people to become involved in various political issues. Police have no idea why they tried to get into the armory.
They were climbing the fence because they couldn’t get the spraypaint to stick to the chain link.
Feel free to try and guess the slogans they’d have left on the armory and leave them in comments.
And, if you think you’re up to it, hazard a guess as to whom they voted for back in November.
Both released without having to post any bail even when charged with two felonies!
…and I’m sure the Army Guard will drop the charges.
They were probably working undercover for the civilian national security force, no big deal…
