Reports surfaced this week claiming a 20-year-old Black Lives Matter activist who led a protest with hundreds of participants that turned violent at the end of July could face 15 years behind bars. San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow said Monday that prosecutors are weighing if criminal charges will be filed against Tianna Arata, but underscored that the rumor that she faces a 15-year sentence is “misinformation.”
On July 21, Arata led a protest that spilled onto a California highway and included violent incidents, such as the alleged smashing of a car window with a four-year-old child inside and the assaulting of a police officer.
