PHOENIX — A total of 114 people were arrested during the protests in downtown Phoenix on Saturday night, according to numbers posted by Phoenix Councilman Sal DiCiccio.
DiCiccio said that he received word from Phoenix PD that 69 men and 45 women were arrested. The post also said that five of the individuals were booked for aggravated assault on a police officer.
The post also listed that seven juveniles were detained for curfew violations, riot, and unlawful assembly. Twenty-two vehicles were also towed throughout the night.
