ORLANDO, Fla. — Three more people were taken into custody on Sunday by Florida Highway Patrol troopers outside of the Pulse memorial.
The arrests follow one other on Friday night involving a man named Sebastian Suarez, who was released the next day.
The same attorney who represented Suarez, Blake Simons, says he will represent the three arrested.
“I came out to support the community that I’m a part of,” Simmons said. “We should ask our government what is next. Are they going to continue to station a bunch of FHP officers and a bunch of people watching the cameras across the street? Or are they going to go out and deal with the actual issues?”
Many of the people who’ve been coming to the crosswalk to chalk it the last several days say they’re committed to doing this as a way to make sure victims of the 2016 Pulse shooting aren’t forgotten
This comes more than a week after FDOT painted over the crosswalk.
FHP has warned people for several days that they could face being arrested if they continue to color in the crosswalk. Signs were placed saying people cannot “deface the roadway” or “impede traffic” on Friday.
Simons says that all three people who were arrested are being held at Orange County Jail and that they should be in court Monday at 11 a.m.
