Man arrested after Arizona Confederate monument doused in red paint [View all]
A man suspected of throwing paint on a memorial to Arizona Confederate troops at the state Capitol during protests Friday in downtown Phoenix has been arrested, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
During the Friday evening protest against the killings of men and women by police, demonstrators gathered around the statue and told everyone to post a photo with the hashtag #tearitdown. At some point, it was doused with red paint.
DPS spokesperson Capt. Jesse Galvez said Sean Brennan was arrested for the defacement late Friday afternoon, though he could not confirm Brennan's age or whether he was directly involved in the protest.
Brennan was facing at least one charge of criminal damage, Galvez said.
