The Kentucky lawmaker who co-authored “Breonna’s Law” has been charged with felony rioting after being arrested alongside her daughter at Breonna Taylor protests in Louisville.

Democratic Rep. Attica Scott, 48, and her daughter Ashanti were among 24 arrested Thursday night after a stand-off between police and protesters seeking shelter in a downtown church, according to WFPL News.

The First Unitarian Church had opened its doors as a safe haven to protesters who would otherwise be arrested for breaking a 9 p.m. police curfew.

“Is that Attica Scott?” shocked onlookers had called out as the handcuffed lawmaker was led into the back of a police van.

“We love you!” others cried out, according to video from one of the station’s reporters.

The protesters had smashed windows and started fires across downtown Lousiville, including trashing a public library, police said. The force did not go into detail the exact accusations against the representative.
