The trial for Jeana Renea Gamble, a Fairhope woman arrested during a "No Kings" protest last year, has been delayed again, this time by two weeks to April 15.
Gamble was arrested while partaking in a No Kings protest in Fairhope back in October, which was part of a wider, nationwide protest against the actions and policies of Donald Trump and his administration. She was seen wearing a giant inflatable costume shaped like male genitalia while holding a sign that read "No Dick-tator." Body cam footage of the incident was released in November, with police saying she refused to comply with officers when she was asked to take off her costume.
Following her arrest, Gamble was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, and later received two additional charges for disturbing the peace and giving officers a false name. During her arrest, when asked by authorities to provide her name, she is apparently seen in the footage as responding by saying "I'm Aunt Tifa," a play on words in reference to the left-wing political movement Antifa.
This marks the third time Gamble's court appearance has been delayed. Originally scheduled to take place in January, it was delayed to March due to a Fairhope lawyer being out of town. It was later delayed again, to April 1, due to a Christian college fair occurring at the Fairhope Civic Center the same day, which Gamble's legal team said could disrupt court proceedings.
The trial will now take place on April 15 at 2 p.m. at the Fairhope Municipal Court. Gamble's lawyer, David Gespass, told GCM the decision to delay was made by the judge without either side requesting it.
