He's an ELF member who was arrested in 2001 as part of a group that firebombed logging and cement trucks in Oregon. Sherman's father, a 9-1-1 operator in Portland, contacted the FBI with suspicions about his son which set of an investigation. Although notorious eco-terrorist Tre Arrow was later fingered as the ringleader by his associates, Sherman was identified as the leader during early questioning by police. Sherman, along with his friends Jeremy Rosenbloom and Angela Cesario turned state's witness and testified against Arrow in exchange for lighter sentences. Like the other snitches, he was sentenced to 41 months in Federal prison even though he was facing 30 years. Sherman's mother was raped by a fellow cadet while she was training to become a sheriff's deputy. Does this explain his hatred for cops and other authorities? While a student at Portland State, Sherman worked for the Ralph Nadar presidential campaign. Sherman met and befriended Arrow and became a radical environmentalist in the early 2000s. Sherman was also arrested for climbing atop the Lumberman's Building Center in Clackamas, OR in early 2001. Sherman still lives in the Portland area. Strangely, the state of Oregon issued him a hunting permit in 2009 even though convicted felons can't possess weapons. According to some media reports, he's now reformed and works to advocate change from "within the system". He still bears watching. Sherman may be employed by Portland State University. https://web.archive.org/web/20210824181750/https://earthfirstjournal.news/informants/ https://archive.vn/4yEUh https://archive.vn/FDab1
