The child of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) was arrested on Jan. 21 and charged with assault following an altercation with a police officer, officials have confirmed.
Police said in a statement on Sunday that officers responded to a report at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Parkman Bandstand Monument, in Boston Common, where a protest was being held.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Riley Dowell, 23, defacing the monument with “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB” an acronym for “all cops are [expletive].”
Dowell was identified as “Jared Dowell” in the statement by police.
“During the arrest of Jared Dowell, a group of about 20 protesters began to surround officers while screaming profanities though megaphones on the public street causing traffic to come to a standstill,” police said. “While interfering with the arrest of Jared Dowell, an officer was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth.”…
