Boston Demonstrators, Some Rowdy, Appear In Court

BOSTON, MA — Eighteen arrested during Saturday's rally and demonstrations appeared in court Tuesday, the Suffolk County DA's Office said.

Fifteen of those people were allegedly part of a group that assaulted police with hands, bottles filled with various liquids, traffic cones, and other items during an attempt to clear an area at Boylston and Tremont streets.

The DA's office said five of the 15 moved to continue their arraignments until Nov. 8, which prosecutors agreed to. The other 10 were arraigned, released on personal recognizance, and ordered to return to court Nov. 13.

One person was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly swinging at a State Trooper. Another person was charged with disturbing the peace after it was reported to officers he was fighting with people and had a knife; police found him with bloody knuckles and a folding knife in his pocket. A third person was charged with assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, and assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly grabbing and punching officers who were forming a line. That man also allegedly reached for a knife.

Those three people were released on their own recognizance and are scheduled to return to court on Nov. 8.

In addition, one juvenile appeared in the Boston Juvenile Court Monday and her arraignment was continued to Oct. 12.

Police said the protests and rallies, which were mostly peaceful, resulted in 33 arrests. Four of those people allegedly had weapons.
