Protester Behind Disturbance Arrested After Death Row Advocate Dies
A controversial figure, Aaron Patterson, 39, was charged with reckless conduct after a candlelight vigil near a North Side police station turned rowdy. Police say he yelled obscenities and pounded on windows during the protest sparked by the death in custody of May Molina, 55, while Patterson claims he intervened to help another demonstrator. Protests continued with disruptions at a police board meeting and a subsequent meeting with an Office of Professional Standards representative.
