Source: Sacramento Bee
A 21-year-old woman who participated in Monday's "Occupy" of the state Capitol was arrested for the second time in two days after she returned to the rotunda and allegedly began throwing flower petals over a second-story balcony, according to a California Highway Patrol spokesman.
Anneliese Harlander was one of 68 people cited and released Monday night as they occupied the Capitol rotunda past closing to protest cuts to higher education.
CHP Captain Andy Menard said the UC Santa Cruz college student was one of about five or six individuals who tried to re-enter the Capitol building just before noon today with sleeping bags and pillows. The individuals were cleared to enter the building without their sleeping gear, which was detected during a security screening.
... Menard said Harlander allegedly initially fled the scene, but was arrested without incident on suspicion of littering and demonstrating without a permit. She was transported to county jail.
