(NBC2 News) A protestor carrying a sign showing aborted fetuses outside an elementary school was arrested for disrupting traffic and school operations.
The Punta Gorda Police Department has not released the name of the protestor but said he is well-known to law enforcement as a first amendment auditor. Police said he has a history of displaying vulgar and offensive signs in order to get a response from others.
The protestor has been seen outside Sallie Jones Elementary School multiple times causing a disruption as parents drop off their kids at school, Punta Gorda police said. On July 22, investigators with PGPD were sent to Sallie Jones Elementary about the protestor.
