No More Cowbell
Man arrested at a protest for too much cowbell
Digital Spy reports that the the 26-year-old from Appleton, WI was protesting on Thursday, before his group was asked by an officer to keep the noise to a minimum, reports the North Western.
Oshkosh Police Department spokesman Joe Nichols explained that an officer responded to complaints from people that the group were blocking access to a driveway. The demonstrator proceeded to give "more cowbell", and shook it directly in the officer's face despite requests to be quiet.
He then pushed the officer twice after he tried to take the cowbell off him.
The man was then "directed" to the ground, while another protester hit the officer in the back of his head with a picket sign. They were both promptly arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Nichols explained: "The rest of the protesters were told to keep the noise down and they did. The officer understood they have a right to be out on the sidewalk and picket, but they can't block driveways or sidewalks and can't create excessive noise."
