Eight arrested in Rock Hill as protest continues against controversial police arrest
ROCK HILL -- One night after a Rock Hill demonstration against excessive police force resulted in no arrests, eight people protesting for the same cause were arrested.
A bulk of the Thursday night arrests occurred around 10 p.m. near the intersection of Dave Lyle Boulevard and Black Street in Rock Hill. The arrests were the result of protests spawned by a Facebook Live video that documented the forceful Wednesday arrests of two Black men.
Per Rock Hill police spokesman Lt. Michael Chavis Thursday night:
▪ Three individuals were charged with public disorderly conduct;
▪ One charged with disorderly conduct;
▪ Two charged with pedestrian in the roadway;
▪ One charged with hindering police;
▪ And one charged with DUI and “failure to stop for blue lights.”
