The Richmond Police Department has made 15
arrests in connection to a “sit-in” in the Huguenot neighborhood last night.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., RPD received
the first call for disorderly conduct in the 4100 block of Uppingham Road.
Upon arrival, officers found dozens of protesters conducting a “sit-in”,
blocking the roadway and obstructing traffic. Over the next 45 minutes,
the RPD received four more calls for service in the same area about the
situation.
At approximately 10:25 p.m., RPD first
announced that protesters were violating § 18.2-419 (Picketing or
disrupting the tranquility of a home). More than a dozen of those
announcements were made via loud speaker over the next 20 minutes, giving
protesters ample time to leave without being arrested.
No Unlawful Assembly was declared.
