Kentucky lawmaker arrested:

A Kentucky lawmaker who spent a night in jail after her arrest during protests demanding justice for Breonna Taylor said Friday that she’ll redouble her push for criminal justice reforms.

State Rep. Attica Scott was arrested and charged Thursday evening with first-degree rioting, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts: unlawful assembly and failure to disperse. The Black lawmaker on Friday called the charges “ludicrous” and said those arrested were “traumatized” by Louisville police.

“Right now I’m very disgusted and angry that LMPD (Louisville Metro Police Department) would levy these false charges against me ... and other folks,” Scott told reporters. (AP)
