Down at the jail. Rep. Zephyr and a few others are here. Still trying to clarify how many detained and on what charges; hearing a few different things

Deputy at the jail said he thought there were eight people in custody. The charge is criminal trespassing. They likely will be booked and released. None of this is final, as a caveat, but what a deputy with the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office said. @daily_montanan
