Beginning at 6 am, officers with the Portland Police Bureau announced via loudspeaker that they would soon begin removing those inside the perimeter of the South Park Blocks or Millar Library-by 7:50 am that changed to charging those inside with second-degree trespass.
Police said one officer was sprayed in the face with a fire extinguisher during the library raid. An arrest followed shortly afterward.
"We encountered a lot of barricades, a lot of things put in our way to try to slow us down. That did cause it to take a couple of hours to clear the building," PPB Sgt. Kevin Allen said Thursday during a noon press conference.
