One arrest on W. Wacker Drive during recent protests

Police 09

There was at least one person arrested on W. Wacker Drive during the recent protests, according to a freedom of information request. There was one person arrested who officially resides out of state.

When asked to break out arrests related specifically to the protests, the Chicago Police Department declined and responded that “it has been determined your request is unduly burdensome based on the number of records requested.”

For a time, Chicago police officers had days off canceled and were required to work 12-hour shifts to try and control the looting.

Of the 2,826 arrested, at least 156 are registered voters who have voted in recent elections. 149 of those voted Democrat and 7 voted Republican.

Across the country, there have been thousands of people who were arrested during the recent protests along with property damage listed in the billions of dollars.

Records are accurate as of June 12. Individuals arrested are presumed innocent.
