Police cited her for obstructing a roadway and failure to obey lawful commands (a misdemeanor under local ordinances). Reports indicate protesters had marched in streets, blocking traffic despite multiple warnings to move to sidewalks. She was the only one arrested out of ~200 participants, released after a few hours, and (as of early reports) faced potential minor charges/fines.

Plichta suggested the timing was retaliatory for her speech, but official statements and fact-checks (e.g., Snopes, local outlets like MLive and WZZM) confirm the arrest stemmed from protest conduct earlier, not her interview comments. Freedom of speech protects her views, but not blocking roads without permits.
