Link says he’s charged with petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor in USA. IDK where the destruction of property charges land.
He’s receiving donations for his defense from across the country.

Can you provide a source for this statement please? I do not see that in the futurism link.
In fact, it sounds like he was detained at the time of his arrest, but then released immediately. That would normally be the case for property crimes with no risk to public safety and no flight risk. July 18th, his gofundme page was talking about conversations with his neighbors. July 7th, he was talking about enjoying a camping trip in the woods. That all sounds like he is at home, not in jail.
He will face a grand jury soon. For the non-US readers. Grand Jury is a process that determines whether criminal charges will be brought. It is meant as a check on malicious prosecution by the state. In the US, it is very easy to secure a GJ indictment, b/c no exculpatory evidence is presented. We have a famous saying, the GJ will indict a ham sandwich. Tho, sometimes they do not indict, such as the famous Sandwich Guy. If the charges are too absurd.
Jeffrey’s page suggests reaching out to Virginia and request to drop the charges. NAL, so I IDK how much impact that has. I guess it can’t hurt? Anyone who does that, I strongly suggest to be polite. Do not rant. Make your argument genuinely and briefly. Whoever reads it is not bringing the charges. Rude does more harm than good.
He has received over $41K donations as of the time of this post.
