Occupy DC Demonstrator Threw Bottle, Not Brick

Wall Street Protest Washington

Authorities in Washington now say a demonstrator at an Occupy DC encampment threw a liquid-filled soda bottle, not a brick, hitting a U.S. Park Police officer after police began removing tents over the weekend.

Court documents available Monday say the demonstrator, Jeremiah Desausa, threw the Coke bottle Saturday. Authorities said he resisted arrest and was subdued with a Taser.

The Park Police officer, a lieutenant, was flown to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries and later released, though the police statement says he is still enduring blunt force trauma and "seriously compromised" vision in his eye.
