¬snip¬
Of those arraigned Tuesday, four were charged with felonies, including assault on an officer.
At the request of prosecutors, the judge ordered them to stay away from the City Hall plaza where the movement has carried out most of its protests, as well as from the convention center that activists attempted to occupy Saturday.
They will enter pleas Thursday.
Seven of the eight misdemeanor defendants also were arraigned Tuesday on charges including resisting arrest, illegally covering one’s face with the intent of committing a crime and vandalism, Drenick said.
