"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Daryl said before her arrest. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

According to the report, Daryl and other protesters — 100 of which were also arrested — refused to move three times, which led to her arrest. The planned Keystone pipeline will run from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
