A 41-year-old man was arrested in the area Saturday and preliminary charged with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct, IMPD Officer Michael Hewitt said in an email. The man was taken to the Marion County Jail for processing.
Officers used pepper balls to deter a crowd as they moved closer to officers, which created an unsafe environment, Hewitt said.
This is the first known arrest of a protester.
"IMPD supports our citizens rights to peaceful and lawful protest," Hewitt said.
