Arrest warrant issued for 2024 presidential candidate Jill Stein

The warrant follows Stein’s failure to appear in a hearing tied to a 2024 protest that led to more than 100 arrests, court records show.

  • On Monday, St. Louis Judge Karma Johnson issued an arrest warrant for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein after she and her attorney failed to appear at a 9 a.m. hearing.
  • These charges stem from an April 27, 2024, protest at Washington University Danforth regarding Gaza, where Stein faces one count of first-degree trespassing and one count of fourth-degree assault.
  • Court documents state Stein grabbed a bicycle from Officer Conroy, leading to a struggle where she allegedly kicked Officer Moore, who later sustained a forearm strain and leg contusion.
  • "There will be a failure to appear warrant for Ms. Stein," Judge Johnson said regarding the defendant's absence, with prosecutors present at the hearing.
  • While over 100 arrests occurred during the 2024 demonstration, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith maintained the charges reflect evidence of criminal acts rather than free speech.
