Protester’s twice bitten

A 22-year-old Portland protester sporting multiple face tattoos did what anyone would do two hours after getting released from jail: He got busted for the second time in a day.

Darby Marshall Howard told cops he was homeless and had arrived two weeks earlier in the Oregon city besieged by protesters for much of the past year.

On Thursday, Howard joined about 50 protesters at the Wells Fargo Center, the city’s tallest skyscraper, after they pushed inside the building and refused to leave, The Oregonian reported.

While inside, Howard allegedly punched a TV in the building’s lobby and kicked an automatic sliding door, causing more than $1,000 in damage, according to state prosecutors.

When police found him outside, Howard allegedly slugged an officer in the head and tried to push through a line of cops to get away. He was arrested shortly after 3 p.m. and charged with criminal mischief, resisting arrest and attempted assault on an officer.

After booking, Howard was released on his own recognizance at around 8:30 p.m.

Howard then joined another protest, this one outside the federal courthouse that was a focal point of 2020 protests.

Howard was accused of slamming a Lime electric scooter against a window of the building, shattering the glass. The vandalism was allegedly caught on security cameras.

He was booked on destruction of government property and a federal judge ordered him detained.

When he was arrested the second time, Howard was still wearing the bright orange sneakers he was issued in the city jail earlier in the day.
