Three arrested after hanging anti-Trump banner near Cleveland convention
Three women were arrested on Tuesday after climbing a flagpole near the site of this week's U.S. Republican National Convention and hanging a banner protesting the party's presidential candidate, Donald Trump.
"Don't Trump our communities," read the banner hung near Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Using a ladder truck, fire officials brought down the protesters and the banner, which also had an anti-fracking message.
"They actually climbed the flagpole and hung a banner and our officers responded and made the arrests," Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams told reporters. "They were arrested for criminal mischief."
