Actor Danny Glover Arrested
“Death at at Funeral” weekend was more like “Arrest at a Protest” for star Danny Glover on Friday (April 16) in Maryland.
Glover together with 11 other participants have been arrested at the Sodexo food assistance headquarters throughout a labor union dispute.
Capt. Paul Starks, spokesperson for Maryland’s Montogomery police department, says Glover stepped beyond yellow police tape together with many others right after getting warned to step back 3 times. The protesters, including Glover, refused and police officers arrested them.
Citations were issued for trespassing for the dozen or so who have been handcuffed about the scene. Starks confirms that the arrested people all face either 90 days within the slammer or even a $1,000 fine.
The protest, organized by The Service Employees International Union, was waged against Sodexo over allegations of unfair and illegal treatment. Though organizers have been mindful beforehand that they might chance arrest consequently with the protest, Starks says they had been willing to take the possibility.
A publicist for Glover, most notably recognized for starring inside the “Lethal Weapon” franchise along side Mel Gibson, declined to comment on the incident.
