TUCSON - Eleven Occupy Tucson protesters were arrested at Veinte de Agosto Park last night - 10 were cited and field-released at the scene, one refused to sign the citation and was booked into Pima County Jail.

According to a TPD news release, officers arrived at the park at about 11:45 p.m., and left by 12:45 p.m., conducting their deployment without the use of force.

Marisa Muro refused to sign her citation and was arrested Wednesday night, according to Occupy Tucson spokesperson Alex Maldonado.

On November 29, 24 demonstrators were found in violation of city code, and were arrested, cited and field-released.

Maldonado says that since Thanksgiving, nine Occupy Tucson protesters have been taken into custody for refusing to sign their citations. They typically spend a night in jail, have their arraignment hearing in the morning, and then are released.
