Lucy Lawless, along with five other Greenpeace Activists, was arrested after spending four days on an oil drilling ship that was docked in New Zealand.
The Huffington Post reports that:
Police removed the group from their perch atop a 174-foot (53-meter) drilling tower on the Noble Discoverer in Port Taranaki. Lawless and six activists climbed the tower early Friday in an attempt to raise awareness about oil drilling in the Arctic and prevent the ship from leaving.
Lawless is best known for her role in the television show Xena: Warrior Princess.
"Lawless spoke to The Associated Press from atop the tower Friday, where she said wind gusts were making it difficult for the group to stay put. She said she felt compelled to take a stand against oil-drilling in the Arctic and against global warming."
