Police Arrest 139 Demonstrators and Others
Some 139 people were arrested just blocks from the convention center that's housing the Democratic National Convention. Protestors, by-standers and legal observers were surrounded by police and then arrested. Charges against those arrested include loitering, begging, throwing stones, interference with lawful authority, failure to obey a police order, and obstruction of a public roadway.

Leigh Ann Caldwell and Aura Bogado have the exclusive story.
