He seems to get into this kind of situation every year or so.

This is kind of a standing headline...

Simply saying "arrested" doesn't really tell us anything. There's a whole gamut there. Even saying "arrested for disorderly conduct" doesn't really tell us a whole lot more.

Arrested for protesting something that he considers to be sufficiently unethical to warrant the sacrifice in order to draw attention to the cause.

OK.

That's a lot different from, say, arrested for drunk driving, or even just arrested for public drunkenness, not to mention a lot more admirable than either.

He was arrested for playing Steppenwolf so loud, that even passing aliens had to drop in and tell him to turn it down.

As well all know, there is a noise ordinance in affect for space...
