At around 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, the police gathered at a protest being held on the Roebling Suspension Bridge that connects Cincinnati with Covington. Authorities noted that the gathering obstructed traffic and created safety concerns for everyone involved.
In a release, Lt. Col. Matthew Winship of the Covington Police Department announced that when officers tried to make contact with the organizer, they were immediately met with “open hostility and threatening behavior.”
After warnings were given to the group to shut the protest down, several people refused and were taken into custody.
The release noted that charges ranged from first-degree riot, criminal mischief, and second-degree disorderly conduct to resisting arrest.
“We respect everyone’s right to protest, but when demonstrations jeopardize public safety and violate the law, our officers must take appropriate action,” said Chief Brian Valenti.
The bridge was temporarily closed during the incident but has since reopened, the release noted.
