Six Arrested During Protest Held at Sheriff’s Office
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports six persons were arrested early this afternoon during a protest held near the public entrance to the Sheriff’s Office Operational and Correctional Complex on Hanover Street. Members of “United We Dream,” who proclaim to be an immigrant, youth-led network, held a planned demonstration around noon today at the Sheriff’s Office to “shut down the Butler County Detention facility” in protest of current immigration policies.
During the protest by approximately 50 young adults, six of them chained themselves to the public access doors. They were warned to stop their actions, or face arrest. After ignoring that warning, those six individuals were taken into custody, arrested for Disorderly Conduct (a 4th-degree misdemeanor), and escorted into the Butler County Jail for processing. Those arrested include: Oliver Merino-Morales, male, age 24, of Wingate, NC; Luis Aguilar-Garcia, male, age 18, of Boonville, NC; Parth Thaker, male, age 22, of Charlotte, NC; Yash Mori, male, age 18, of Charlotte, NC; Lizette Diaz, female, age 22, of Yadkinville, NC; and Maura Pereira, female, age 18, of Cooleemee, NC.
