The peaceful gathering and protest of new and highly controversial Santa Cruz municipal ordinance 2016-07 by artists Alex Skelton and Joff Jones, after extensive presence on the avenue since early May 2016, was finally cited as violating the restrictions of this ordinance, and the peaceful protest of this ordinance and the requirements demanded by it and it's enforcement led to the arrest of Jones and Skelton. Ordinance available at http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/home/showdocument?id=52372
We were found "NOT GUILTY" for our activity "outside a 'display device' zone" leading to our arrest this day.
