Poor People's Campaign Protestors Arrested At Statehouse

Columbus police arrested six protestors with the Poor People's Campaign during a demonstration Monday at the Statehouse. 

Police say the protestors deliberately blocked State Street. Organizers say the planned arrests were an effort to gain attention. The campaign advocates for the rights of the poor and improving their conditions.
