LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police say eight people were arrested on misdemeanor charges in a Las Vegas Strip demonstration by advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights.
Officer Bill Cassell said Wednesday the eight men and women were taken into custody on obstructing a police officer and jaywalking charges.
Each was booked at the Clark County jail and released pending court appearances.
The protesters were from Washington, D.C.-based GetEQUAL, a group advocating for civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
