Sheriff’s office ignores peaceful surrender at courthouse, arrests Local 21 VP in front of his children instead

From the Daily News:

Local union vice president Jacob Anthony Whiteside was arrested late Friday afternoon on suspicion of criminal trespass and obstructing of a train Sept. 7. Bail was set at $500 for the misdemeanor charges, and Whiteside posted bail and was released.

Union officials called the arrest — which they said was made in front of Whiteside’s children in a church parking lot — another example of local police “going on a rampage,” against union workers.
