FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed had a gun in her possession at the time she was arrested Monday night outside the Ferguson Police Department, according to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson.
Nasheed declined comment about the having the weapon, but did tell News 4 she has a concealed carry permit.
Sources also told News 4 Ferguson police requested St. Ann to administer a breathalyzer test at the time of her arrest, but Nasheed refused to do so. Nasheed said Tuesday she was not intoxicated at the time.
Nasheed was formally charged with Failure to Obey Lawful Order of Police and Manner of Walking in the Roadway. She was released from St. Ann jail before 11:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.
"It was a symbolic arrest - sending a message to the protesters that we can protest peacefully and that we must protest peacefully and that we want justice for Michael Brown, but we don't want it in vein," Nasheed said outside the jail Tuesday morning.

CCW while drunk is a huge no-no...
But, she’s a AA democrat politician, think she’ll lose her CCHL?
doubt it. Bigtime.
Really? The state of "education" in this country is in a sorry state of affairs.
“we want justice for Michael Brown, but we don’t want it in vein”
Vein? Really? Halloween vampire joke or something?
“Failure to Obey Lawful Order of Police and Manner of Walking in the Roadway.”
Isn’t that how dumbazz got shot in the first place? What an ahole, just daring someone to do something.
I’d blame that one on the reporter, who was quoting what she said, not what she wrote.

AA democrat
****
Thank you for not adding ic to democrat.
Beat me to it. Is there not a single competent editor anywhere in America?
reporter, editor
this went through a few hands before making it to print.
Agreed, she simply said “vain”, and someone wrote it as “vein”.
When practicing civil disobedience as a demonstration. Always be unarmed and just let them arrest you. If the media is there to broadcast your arrest. You’re doing it right.
100%
Well... gun control for everyone ELSE, of course.
If I were driving while sober and one of those a@@*&#$es was doin the pimp roll in middle of the street on dark night.... well, I would be tempted.
Armed, drunk, racist, challenging the police in the street to create more riots?
What’s not to like?
In April 2011 while attending a Lil'Wayne concert in St. Louis (MO), Sen. Naheed accused fellow legislature, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal of threatening to stab her. The two politicians had been at odds for several weeks after Sen. Chapelle-Nadal, referred to a bill sponsored by Rep. Nasheed which would give the governance of the St. Louis police department back to the city. Sen. Chappelle-Nadal said that any black politician that would support the bill was nothing more than a "house slave". Rep. Nasheed fired back by calling Sen. Chappelle-Nadal, "mentally unstable."
Rep. Nasheed was attending as the guest of a lobbyist with AT&T. During the concert the two legislators made contact in a private suite belonging to utility company, Ameren UE. While mingling amongst the lobbyist in a private suite, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal and Rep. Nasheed had some type of disagreement that ended with Sen. Chappelle-Nadal reportedly telling Rep. Nasheed that, "if she had a knife, she would cut my fucking throat." Rep. Nasheed took to social media that night and "tweeted" the comment from Sen. Chappelle-Nadal to her followers.
Sen. Chappelle-Nadal did not deny an encounter took placed but denied she threatened to shank or stab anyone. Sen. Chappelle-Nadal reported to the St. Louis River Front Times, "I was trying to enjoy the concert, but she kept harassing me," Chapelle-Nadal tells Daily RFT. "Finally she cornered me. I never said I would cut her throat, though I did mention a stabbing. I said that if I were really as unstable as she says I am, I would have stabbed someone by now, like the time she stabbed someone when she was with the 'Switchblade Sistas' -- a high-school gang." When questioned on her association with the "Switchblade Sistas", Rep. Nasheed offered, "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"[5] Sen. Nasheed admitted her past history of youth gang involvement and explained that, "I talk to kids about it all the time. I caution them against that lifestyle. I'm not ashamed."[5] Arrest during protest on October 20, 2014
Nasheed was taken into police custody on October 20, 2014, in front of the Ferguson police station. News reports indicated she was in possession of a firearm at the time of her arrest. [6]Another protester said that she refused to get off the street even after police had told protesters to get off the street.[7]
