Catherine Bleish arrested in first amendment related issue, I just recieved a text asking concerned patriots to contact Maplewood Missouri PD for details and demand they respect first amendment rights.

Maplewood Police Department (314) 645-4880

These are the only details we have at this time, due to a brief text message from someone on the scene. More will come as this story develops.

Update——-

Catherine was standing outside of a courtroom repeatedly mentioning how the citizens should not be forced to stand in the cold at a public office when a police officer told her to either shut up or go to jail and mentioned that she needed to be on a leash if anyone had one. She asked why she had to choose either and was subsequently arrested.

Update #2——-

The only reports I’ve gotten are from you all responding to these messages as many of us are being hung up on by the PD.

Some people are saying that the police are telling them she has been released, please try to get recordings of them saying this, as this does not appear to be true.

Thanks to Catherine’s mom who did send this

“At this point they are not planning charging her with anything. So I am not sure why they are holding her. Of course, this could change. She is asking if anyone feels inclined to please call and ask for mercy and ask for an early release since it does not appear that she is guilty of anything or is going to be charged with anything. They have taken away all of her personal possessions including her sweatshirt and have given her one blanket.”

Thank you for your support through all of this.

Update #3——–
It appears Catherine was released recently, visit her twitter for more http://twitter.com/DontTreadOnCat

Update #4———

Twitter has killed her account.  More info later today.
