Noose Scene Sparks Arrest After Jena March Protests
In Alexandria Louisiana a white 18 year old, Jeremiah Munson of Colfax, and a 16 year old passenger were arrested near a bus station after Munson drove past marchers from Jena. Nooses hung from Munson's pickup and police found a rifle and brass knuckles. The incident follows tensions from the Jena High School case and a crowd of about 200 at the bus station. The 16 year old claimed a KK K tattoo and relatives in the Ku Klux Klan. A city attorney will weigh charges against the minor.
