CHATTANOOGA, TN - Chattanooga Police have obtained warrants for multiple protesters who engaged in illegal and dangerous activity on Friday, July 10, 2020 at or near the intersection of Market and East Main Streets. The protesters obstructed the intersection and blocked an emergency vehicle attempting to get to an active call for a vehicle crash with injuries.

The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) has obtained warrants for Marie Mott (32), Cameron Williams (35), Grason Harvey (22), and Lindsay Baker (33) for blocking an emergency vehicle en route to an active call for service. Each face charges of Disorderly Conduct and Blocking a Highway. As more involved parties are identified additional warrants and charges will be issued as the investigation continues.

“CPD has had numerous discussions with the protesters and officers have blocked streets in order for marches to take place as safely as possible since May 30,” said Chief David Roddy. “I am not blind to the issues being challenged, but I will not allow the protesters to endanger themselves, invoke fear in other community members, and impede emergency services to anyone in this city.”
