LAKELAND, Fla. —
A 13-year-old girl was arrested by Lakeland Police during an abortion rights protest on the Fourth of July.
Lillie Johnson told News Channel 8 she will not be deterred from exercising her First Amendment rights after video of her arrest went viral.
“If anything this has encouraged me more to fight for the freedom of anybody and everybody. No matter what, no matter who,” Lillie said.
Lillie’s mother, Lauren Johnson, recorded video Monday of Lakeland Police officers detaining her daughter at Munn Park.
“It’s important to use your voice and to use it peacefully and appropriately, and I’m just so proud because that’s exactly what she did,” Johnson said.
Lillie said she returned to the protest against the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe V. Wade after being in police custody for an hour.
Johnson’s mom and attorneys said the teen is charged with violating the city’s noise control ordinance because she was using a megaphone.
Lakeland Police declined to share the arrest affidavit because of the girl’s age.
“Since the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we’ve had hundreds of people peacefully assemble across our City with few isolated incidents,” Lakeland Police said in a statement. “Officers are in attendance to assure a safe and secure environment for those exercising their rights while doing so in accordance with Florida state statutes and city ordinances.”
Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Democratic candidate for governor Nikki Fried shared the mom’s video of the arrest on Twitter and it has been viewed more than 4.5 million times.
“She wasn’t hurting anybody,” Fried said in an interview with News Channel 8. “She wasn’t attacking anybody. She wasn’t being violent. She was speaking out about something that is going to impact her life.”

A 13 year old baby killer. What the hell is going on?
But she won’t fight for unborn babies to see the light of day.
It’s the evil parents fault.
I bet this mom is rabidly against the 2nd Amendment as well.
Is the thirteen y.o. or her mother anticipating a situation wherein a need for abortion is perceived? I suspect the parenting is of a non Christian sort.
Should have called DCS/CPS on mom and arrested her as well. After a dose of pepper spray.
yep, only a leftist can ignore the 2nd amendment and simultaneously argue that abortion is protected by the constitution.
“If anything this has encouraged me more to fight for the freedom of anybody and everybody.“
Except the living human being about to be born.
She’s just the daughter of Cain, who wants the freedom to kill. What she doesn’t understand is that if everyone has the right to kill, she’s not in a very good position to enjoy a normal life.
“If anything this has encouraged me more to fight for the freedom of anybody and everybody...
Except of course the freedom of the unborn
With a megaphone.
Ben Carson said something like “if the unborn are just clumps of cells, then why do the left sell their body parts?”
These disgusting lib Progs using the underage like gangs use to steal cars in order to avoid being tried as an adult.
This woman is basically pimping her daughter out.
She is all wrapped up in lesbian flags. How does she propose to get pregnant by another woman?
Yeah, fried is a real piece of work.
I bet she was warned before she was arrested.
It is almost certain her mother set her up in order to make propaganda.
Its great to see the Democrat Doberman Pincher, Nikki Freid out there with the freaks screeching her brains out while running for Governor.
She wasn’t hurting anybody,” Fried said in an interview with News Channel 8. “She wasn’t attacking anybody. She wasn’t being violent. She was speaking out about something that is going to impact her life.” No one said she was going any of these things but she was violating a noise ordinance. The Dobbs decision only impacts her life if she becomes pregnant and even then it might not have any meaning to her life.
13 is a little old for Joey Diapers...
