On September 26, 1969, Dohrn was arrested in Chicago during a demonstration. The rally was in support of the eight men accused of conspiracy concerning the riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, who were being tried on riot conspiracy charges.

Dohrn was arrested on October 9, 1969, by the Chicago police during a rally for women’s faction of the Weathermen group. She was later released on a one thousand dollar bond.

Police raided three cabins at White Pines State Park Thursday night and turned up some top leaders of the militant Weatherman faction of the Students for a Democratic Society. Two persons were arrested — Jeffrey C. Jones, 22, SDS interorganizational secretary from Cylmar, Calif,, and Linda Sue Evans, 22, of Ann Arbor, Mich. Among others questioned and released were Mark W. Rudd, 22, national SDS secretary from Maple Park, N.J.; Bernadine Dohrn, 27, former interorganizational secretary from Chicago; and William C. Ayers, 24, of Ann Arbor, SDS educational secretary. Jones was charged with possession of a deadly weapon and released on $1,000 bond. Police said he bad a blackjack. Miss Evans was charged with auto theft. The car, authorities said, was a rented vehicle which had not been returned on time.

Sheriff Ed Lang of Ogle County said police were called by park authorities whose suspicions were aroused when the SDSers would not allow maids into the cabins to change bed sheets. A state trooper and several members of the sheriff's office participated in the raid. The SDS members had been at the park since Monday but checked out after being questioned by police. Several of them were among the scores arrested in Chicago during street violence earlier this month. Others at the park were Terry Robbins, 22, New York City; John G. Jacobs, 22, Detroit; James G. Mellen, 34, ''(Jim Mellen),'' Chelsea, Mich.; Gerald W. Long, 33, Detroit; and Robert Mackowsky, 19, Fort Lee, N. J. <ref>October 24, 1969 Southern Illinoisan October 24, 1969 Oregon, ILL.
