Five anti-war demonstrators accused of cutting through security fences at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Tacoma.

The men and women were charged with conspiracy, trespass, destruction of property on a naval installation and depredation of government property. They are to be arraigned Sept. 24.

U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan said Friday that citizens are free to disagree with their government but they're not free to destroy property or risk others' safety.

The five indicted are 81-year-old Catholic priest Bill Bichsel of Tacoma, 83-year-old nun Anne Montgomery of New York City, 65-year-old Susan Crane of Baltimore, 60-year-old Lynne Greenwald of Bremerton and 60-year-old Stephen Kelly of Oakland, Calif.
