Gary Harrington, the Oregon man convicted of collecting rainwater and
snow runoff on his rural property surrendered Wednesday morning to
begin serving his 30-day, jail sentence in Medford, Ore.
“I’m sacrificing my liberty so we can stand up as a country and stand
for our liberty,” Harrington told a small crowd of people gathered
outside of the Jackson County (Ore.) Jail.
Several people held signs that showed support for Harrington as he was taken inside the jail.


Harrington was found guilty
two weeks ago of breaking a 1925 law for having, what state water
managers called “three illegal reservoirs” on his property. He was
convicted of nine misdemeanors, sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined
over $1500 for collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his property.The Oregon Water Resources Department, claims that Harrington has
been violating the state’s water use law by diverting water from streams
running into the Big Butte River.
But Harrington says he is not diverting the state's water -- merely
collecting rainwater and snow melt that falls or flows on his own
property.
Harrington has vowed to continue to fight the penalty, stating that
the government has become “big bullies” and that “from here on in, I’m
going to fight it.”
“They’ve just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and
die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies, Harrington said in
an interview two weeks ago with CNSNews.com.
"We as Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on
our rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we’ll
prevail,” he said.
