15 Arrested During Downtown Winston-Salem Protest

Winston-Salem police arrested 15 protesters at a demonstration Thursday night. 

A number of people gathered near the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office and marched through surrounding downtown streets.

Police said in a news release those arrested will be charged with impeding traffic, a misdemeanor.

Thursday's protest came after four people were arrested at a demonstration the previous night. A fifth arrest followed later that evening. 

Protesters are demanding more information about the December death of John Neville, who died after being restrained while in custody.

Five officers and one nurse have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in his death.

Police had previously warned that while public protests are allowed, demonstrators could be arrested for blocking city streets.
