Below is from the Tacoma SDS website by Drew Hendricks -- I'd put the PI article in here, except they spelled LeGrand's name wrong -- great reporting!

Olympia Attorney LeGrand Jones in Tacoma Court Wednesday
Courtroom support has been requested.
LeGrand Jones, a local attorney from Olympia, was the first person arrested during this round of PMR activity in Tacoma, for failing to provide his cattle tag to the overseer when requested. He will appear in Court at Tacoma's City-County building at 1:30PM Wednesday, and requests the pleasure of our company if we are able.
Please come dressed for court. A friend of the defendant will provide wrist binders if you are so inclined (to send a visual message).
LeGrand's stand against police harassment is just part of our movement, but please do consider supporting him as he tries to overturn this harassment technique of the Tacoma Police Department. Officers who consistently refuse to abide in their duty to identify themselves have no right to demand ID of persons who are committing no crime. Washington State has no "stop and identify" law.
Those persons who have bar-code tattoos should choose attire which places emphasis on those markings, and present them if asked for ID. Do keep in mind that they search bags coming into the facility.
