Matthew "Gideon" Smith, 29, was booked with two counts of battery on a police officer and one count of resisting arrest, police said. The graduate student was arrested after police sprayed him with mace, according to his girlfriend, Carmen Torres.
Share Undergraduate student Peter Reed was also handcuffed and is expected to be booked with similar felony counts. But as of late Wednesday, he had not been processed into Orleans Parish Prison, according to jail records.
Because each offense is a felony, both men were turned over to the New Orleans Police Department, UNO Chancellor Tim Ryan said in an afternoon news conference.
The protest had started without incident about 10 a.m., when students gathered on UNO's quad to sound off about budget cuts. Trouble began on a march to the amphitheater, where a sound system had been set up for more speeches. They deviated from a route that they had worked out with organizers and marched through the Administration Building.
Standing in a first-floor hall outside a men's room, they started chanting, "No more cuts!" But when campus police officers ordered them to leave, some refused and officers became more assertive.
Campus Police Chief Tom Harrington injured his ankle and was hit by a protester while trying to keep the crowd from surging upstairs to Ryan's office, the chancellor said in an afternoon news conference. He was taken to Tulane Hospital for treatment, where he was in stable condition, according to university officials.
Harrington and his men were trying to get the students to follow a plan that had called for them to go directly to the amphitheater, Ryan said, adding that the chief was doing "a tremendous job in trying to defuse what could be an ugly situation."

“...the chief was doing “a tremendous job in trying to defuse what could be an ugly situation.”

Why are libs always the ones who create an “ugly situation”?
We want more money!
The internet has lots of money.

Geeeez....get out the razor and cut that thing off!
What if they held a demonstration and nobody came (except for the usual lunatics, of course)?
After I saw this yesterday, I had to wonder if any of the “protesters” were from the same crowd that attacked Allee Bautsch.
Sheesh! I hate these new glasses! I thought it said;
“buttery on a police officer”
RE: The old bearded hippie... I don’t have a name for you, but we could always give him one! :)
Maybe Anarchist Rage Man, or Voldebeard?
Mike Howells. Professional protester, adgitator, communist workers party, democrat underground, etc. Name popped up with images recently during Occupy New Orleans.
