St. Paul, Minnesota (RUSHPRNEWS) 09/02/2008- As of 8 p.m. this evening (09/01), 163 protesters had been processed through the Ramsey County Jail. This includes 73 felony arrests, 42 gross misdemeanors and 48 misdemeanors, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
Arraignments will be held beginning at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Police estimate the crowd at today's protest rally was between 8,000 and 10,000. If accurate, that's far short of the 50,000 anticipated by parade organizers.
