EPD confirms Gary Beckett was arrested at the Courthouse but adds, "However, this is an on-going investigation as there was an event leading up to his arrest. Some of the information being provided in social media does not appear to have a factual basis."

Yesterday, a suspect was arrested near the protest at the Courthouse. Based on the time and charge, I have reached out to EPD to confirm if it is this man. 

Gary Herbert Beckett arrested and booked yesterday at 4:57 p.m for PC 415(1) disturbing the peace. He was released on O.R.

EPD PIO Laura Montagna responded, "Yes. Here you go! We can confirm that is the individual arrested. However, this is an on-going investigation as there was an event leading up to his arrest. Some of the information being provided in social media does not appear to have a factual basis."

There is a difference between reporting & information from court records or official authorities and misinformation on social media. The local protest was part of the national protests yesterday. People online jumping to conclusions and saying it was a Trump supporter & not waiting for more official information are the problem.
