A North Dakota judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who is accused of spray-painting construction equipment during a protest against the Dakota Access pipeline.

Court records show Stein was charged in Morton County with misbehavior counts of criminal. The same charges have been filed against her running mate, Ajamu Baraka.

Activists invited Stein to leave a message at the protest site near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's reservation. Figueroa said, and Stein sprayed I approve this message in red paint on the blade of a bulldozer.

A court document shows Baraka painted the word decolonization on a piece of construction equipment. Morton County Sheriff's Office Rob Keller said the warrant has been filed and if authorities were to come across Stein, they would arrest her.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is trying to stop construction of a section of the $3.8 billion US four-state pipeline that tribal leaders say would violate sacred and culturally sensitive grounds and possibly pollute water.
