Police Warn of Arrests After Protest in Virginia's Capital

Associated Press

   RICHMOND, VIRGINIA - Demonstrators in Virginia's capital formed an
   unlawful assembly at Richmond City Hall early Tuesday morning, police
   said, prompting warnings that people would be arrested if they didn't
   leave the area.

   The gathering started forming Monday evening after city and state
   leaders said the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee miles away on
   Monument Avenue would be indefinitely closed from sunset until sunrise
   every night, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
