Berkeley Police and law enforcement partners arrested nine people as part of efforts to manage demonstrations and counter-demonstrations at and near the UC Berkeley campus.
There were no reported injuries due to violence and no reports of any damage to property.
At one point Thursday evening, crowds swelled to around a thousand people.
Recent violence at protests prompted the City to enact regulations prohibiting various weapons on certain City streets and sidewalks as well as three City parks. Violations of those regulations were charged under Berkeley Municipal Code BMC 13.45.020.
Those arrested and their charges are below:
- Rourke, Sarah, 44, San Francisco, BMC 13.45.020
