OGDEN -- A new grass-roots organization plans to support Matthew Stewart and advocate for an end to the violent system they say he and the police are victims of.

The first meeting of the group, called "Keep the Peace," was held inside a room of the Weber County Main Library at Jefferson Avenue and 24th Street on Thursday evening.

According to the group, the criminal justice system created a violent war on drugs that has to stop in favor of a more peaceful alternative, such as addressing drugs as a medical and social problem instead.
