One arrest in connection to Atlanta July 4th protest
aarc.substack.com
On February 25th, Andrew (Drew) Carlisle was arrested in connection to a protest that took place on July 4th, 2020 in Atlanta. While turning himself in for an unrelated probation violation, Drew was informed he had a warrant related to the events of July 4th. The arrest was part of an inter-agency investigation into the July 4th protest, which started at the Zone 3 Precinct and marched to the Georgia Department of Public Safety, which houses the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) HQ. Following the shooting of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police officers, protests in the vicinity of the killing were common, leading to the burning of the Wendy's who called the police on Brooks, and demonstrations at the Zone 3 Police Precinct on Cherokee and Atlanta Avenue (now closed). The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) alleges that Drew, along with dozens of others, caused damage to the GSP building and a parked police cruiser during a march of over one hundred people. Drew is the first arrest in connection to the July 4th event, although GBI has contacted people throughout Georgia seeking information. At this time, it is unclear what information GBI is using to connect Drew to the event. He faces one misdemeanor count of riot and two felony counts of criminal interference with government property. He is currently being held without bond.
