The Riverside County district attorney's office will not pursue criminal charges against two protesters cited for trespassing at the Church of Scientology compound outside San Jacinto.
Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to file charges after Mark Bunker and Douglas Owens were arrested and released Feb. 24 for blocking the driveway of Golden Era Studios on Gilman Springs Road.
The two men were part of a small protest that formed after the Riverside County Board of Supervisors proposed a no-picketing ordinance that would prohibit protesters from coming within 30 feet of any residences.
