Two more arrests tied to Minnesota church protest linked to federal indictment

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi announced two additional arrests—Ian Davis Austin and Jerome Deangelo Richardson—tied to a federal indictment over a Jan. 18 protest at The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nine defendants, including Don Lemon, are named in the indictment charging conspiracy against the rights of religious freedom and related offenses at a place of worship. Lemon had been arrested previously but released after a judge found insufficient probable cause. Bondi emphasized accountability for those involved in the protest.
