More On Nadine Smith

365Gay has an eyewitness report on Nadine Smith's arrest. The witness is an anonymous source. So I'm not 100% on the sourcing. True or not, the arrest was uncalled for.

Smith was in the lobby and arrested when a man approached her and asked for a flier she has holding that said "Don't Discriminate".

According to witnesses, Sgt. Butch Ward confronted Smith and ordered her to take back the flier.

When Smith asked why, Ward reportedly forced her into a side room where several officers violently shoved her to the floor and arrested her.

She has been charged with resisting arrest with violence, a felony, and disturbing others’ assembly, a misdemeanor.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and Human Rights Campaign condemned Smith's arrest in a joint statement. The latter is asking people to share their stories of being discriminated against in the workplace to help educate lawmakers.
