GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro police arrested a protester who climbed atop the base of the Nathaniel Greene statue Monday night.
The arrest happened around 9:30 p.m. shortly after police had dispersed a group of about 50 protesters.
The shirtless man who told WFMY his name was Malik Davis. He was taken into custody by Greensboro police with the help of a ladder truck from the fire department. Davis who was seated cross-legged had with him two small bottles of water. Before his arrest, Davis said he planned to be there all night. He had written a message on his belly which simply read 'The Constitution'.
