Activist Alexei Wood arrested at Austin anti-Trump rally
The activist who was arrested during this morning’s rally at Austin City Hall is Alexei Wood, one of the six defendants who were acquitted last month of causing rioting and destroying property during President Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
Wood was charged Saturday with theft from a person after a dustup at the Austin rally, where hundreds gathered to call for Trump’s impeachment. After a Trump supporter started shouting over a speaker at the rally, Wood ran up, grabbed the Trump supporter’s “Make America Great Again” hat, and took off.
Wood was booked shortly after noon Saturday at the Travis County jail.
A jury in Washington D.C. cleared Wood in December of five felony counts of destroying property and two misdemeanor counts of engaging in a riot and conspiracy to riot on Trump’s Inauguration Day.
