FROM BOSTON HERALD
Katherine Clark’s daughter accused of assaulting Boston police officer at protest
Congresswoman Katherine Clark’s daughter is accused of assaulting a Boston police officer who was trying to arrest her after she allegedly defaced the Boston Common bandstand Saturday night, according to police.
Before the arrest, 23-year-old Jared “Riley” Dowell from Melrose had been seen defacing the Boston Common monument with spray paint. The tagging read “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB” (All Cops Are Ba******).
“Last night, my daughter was arrested in Boston, Massachusetts,” Clark tweeted. “I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting.
“This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process,” the Democratic Whip added.
When police officers tried to arrest Dowell, a group of about 20 protesters began to surround the officers while screaming profanities though megaphones on the street, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
