Capitol police arrested four protesters last week after they staged a sit-in in front of Sen. John McCain’s Russell Senate Office Building office.
After being refused an audience with the Arizona Republican on Wednesday, the defendants “exited the office, sat down in a circle, with their backs to each other in the middle of a public hallway, and refused to leave,” according to a Capitol Police report.
Demonstrations inside Congressional offices are illegal, and since the protesters did not heed a verbal police warning to disperse, they were handcuffed and transported to police headquarters around 7 p.m.
