[QUOTE]CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan was arrested Thursday afternoon outside President Bush's ranch, according to a law enforcement official.

Sheehan, who in the past has camped out for weeks in protest outside the ranch in Crawford, Texas, was arrested for blocking the road leading to the property, Texas Department of Public Safety's Tela Mange told CNN.

Four others were also arrested after law enforcement officials asked the group to move and they refused, Mange said. (Watch defiant protesters led away by police)

"[Sheehan] told us if you want us to get out of the road, you're going to have to arrest us," Mange said. "So we did."

The protesters lay in the road about 20 minutes before being taken into custody, she said.

Sheehan and the others were taken to the McLennan County Sheriff's Department, booked and jailed.

It's not known if any of the protesters made bail.

Sheehan and the others are charged with obstructing a highway, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2,000 fine and six months in jail, Mange said.

Mange said Vice President Dick Cheney's motorcade was delayed leaving the ranch while officers removed the protesters.

Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004.

She has been arrested previously. She and three other women were convicted earlier this month in New York of trespassing, The Associated Press reported. (Full story)

They had attempted in March 2005 to deliver an anti-Iraq war petition to the United Nations U.S. Mission and ignored signals to disperse, the AP said.

The four were acquitted of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing government administration. The Manhattan judge fined them $95 and gave them a conditional discharge.

That meant that if any of the women were arrested again they could face a tougher sentence. [/QUOTE]

Jesus, Cindy come one enough already. Your son's memory has been raped enogh by your insane actions! This time you lay in the ****ing road leading to Bush's ranch....what exactly does that protest? Speed Bumps? Innocent Gopher's who are killed every year by cars.....that must been it. Your favorite Gopher was hit by a politician so you are striving to pull them out of the ground before any more die by the cars of the evil government.

And of all people you decide to block Shotgun's car....not to smart to block the car of a man who in his recreation time shoots people in their damn face, your lucky he didn't run you and your insane friends over and then claim he didn't see you in the road. I mean hell it would of been labled susicide anyway, you layed in the middle of a ****ing road! I hope this lands her in jail for, though she might scream she is the victim of the patriot act and is being silienced. Just a word to the wise Cindy, out of everyone on his ass Bush doesn't give a **** about you. You son volunteered, he was not pulled out of you arms and made to go die in a war. He went himself, so if you want to blame someone blame the bastards who killed him.

Oh and keep striving to help the Gophers by protesting in the road Cindy, good luck....just look out for Semi-trucks. Those drivers don't care what they hit.
