RALEIGH, N.C. — At least 6 people were arrested at the North Carolina State Capitol Wednesday during protests about child care funding, according to police.
Raleigh CBS station, WNCN, said they witnessed the arrests outside the Senate chamber around noon.
Capitol Police said the group was given two warnings to stop shouting after a noise complaint. People were seen getting their hands zip-tied and being escorted down to the first floor of the building, according to WNCN.
Police said those arrested are charged with second-degree trespass and violation of building rules.
The House and the Senate were still negotiating about childcare funding and whether or not to extend the funding through the end of September, WNCN says.
