ST. PETERSBURG A group of demonstrators accused of driving around with potential projectiles was arrested late Monday night by St. Petersburg police. Little more than an hour later, officers broke up a late-night rally outside its own headquarters early Tuesday.
Police officials said they had earlier received information that a vehicle linked to protesters carried items that could be used as projectiles.
Then just before midnight, officers said they pulled over a red SUV nearby in the 1200 block of Central Avenue. Inside, police said officers found bricks, glass bottles, rocks, a plastic gas can and a metal pipe inside.
Three people were arrested: Eddie Bryant, 28, of St. Petersburg; Javonta McCloud, 28, of Clearwater; and Lady Nicole Nash, 29, of Largo. Police did not say what charges they face.
