Marine Arrested For Getting In Westboro Baptists’ Faces
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. — Police have arrested a Marine reservist who crossed a protest line in front of Tinker Air Force Base.
Ray Adam Modisette was booked into the Midwest City jail Friday on a complaint of interfering with official police process. His bail is set at $850.
Police Chief Brandon Clabes says the 20-year-old Shawnee resident was among about 150 people who demonstrated against a group of anti-military protesters from Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan.
Clabes says Modisette was upset that the church group was allowing an American flag to drag on the ground. He says the reservist crossed the street to confront Westboro members and ignored officers’ requests to return to his group.
