One of the two Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters who climbed the rafters at U.S. Bank Stadium in January 2017 and hung a banner from the roof was sentenced Wednesday.
Twenty-eight-year-old Sen Holiday received one year of supervised probation. Holiday pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree burglary, trespassing and a misdemeanor charge of public nuisance.

The pair are alleged to have smuggled nylon rope, carabiners and a lightweight banner into U.S. Bank Stadium during a Vikings' game against the Chicago Bears.
During the second quarter, the protesters scaled barriers to climb a ridge truss and hang the banner, which expressed opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.
