It started
as a peaceful protest by two persons on the square in Jamestown yesterday afternoon,
but led to a heated exchange of words and law enforcement being called to the
scene.
WJRS NEWS
was present yesterday afternoon when two persons stood on the monument square
in Jamestown, one African American and one apparent Hispanic, holding signs
supporting the Black Lives Matter.
Around 6 o’clock, law enforcement officers were called to the square
with report of a fight.
Deputy Kenny
Perkins and Jamestown officer Larry Wesley responded to the scene. There is video evidence of some verbal
exchanges between the protestors and passers by. Some of the video footage has been posted to
our Facebook page at Laker Country 1-0-4-9.
The
protesters dispersed before 7 o’clock and law enforcement authorities tell WJRS
NEWS no arrests were made.
