SALEM, OR (KPTV) A protest outside of the Oregon State Capitol during a special legislative session Monday ended with four arrests and one person being sought, according to Oregon State Patrol.
OSP said the group gathered at 8:30 a.m. and attempted to enter the building, which was closed to the public due to the pandemic. The group was heard chanting "open up" signaling their support for loosening Oregon's COVID-19 restrictions.
Many in the crowd were seen holding Trump signs, while others were openly carrying weapons.
Several protesters gained access to the building as a person left the building. Troopers asked them to go, and "the altercation became physical."
One of the protesters sprayed some kind of chemical irritant or bear spray into the vestibule, but Troopers and Salem police were able to contain the crowd.
