Demetria Hester, a Black Lives Matter leader arrested Monday during what Portland Police had declared a riot, has been released and will not face charges.
She was taken into custody for disorderly conduct in the second degree and interfering with a peace officer, a press release from Portland Police said.
Oregon Live, an online site connected to the Oregonian newspaper, reported on the development:
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Portland activist Demetria Hester on Monday and criminal charges against her were dismissed a day after Portland police arrested her and several others at a protest. Breitbart.
