Dominique Poydras said a group of protesters had surrounded sheriff's department cruiser, was throwing eggs at it. When driver attempted to leave, they knocked woman down.
"It was serious enough for her to go the hospital. She didn't get up," Poydras said sacbee.com/news/article20…
Protest was breaking up, @chabriaa reports, but three dozen CHP and sheriff’s department have formed riot line. 50-60 protestors now stuck behind the riot line.

Wanda Cleveland, who was struck by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department vehicle, is a well-known activist in Sacramento, @chabriaa reports, and regularly attends city council meetings. sacbee.com/news/article20…
At approximately 11:20 p.m., organizers had protesters turn away from the police line and walk into the parking lot, @chabriaa reports. Police retreated to their cars and left the area. The protest is over. sacbee.com/news/article20…
A small group of protesters has stuck around. @nashellytweets reports that it's about two dozen.
Wanda Cleveland is being released from hospital with bruises on her arm and the back of her head. @BradB_at_SacBee spoke to her.
"He never even stopped. It was a hit-and-run. If I did that I’d be charged," Cleveland said. "It's disregard for human life." sacbee.com/news/local/art…
Wanda Cleveland said when the first vehicle told protesters to clear the street, she started to walk toward the curb because her arthritis was making her knees weak. The second driver made no request, she said, abruptly accelerated and hit her in the knee. sacbee.com/news/article20…

"Vandals in the crowd" caused "scratches, dents, and a shattered rear window" to a sheriff's vehicle, the department said in a press release early Sunday. The statement did not address why the vehicle didn't stop after hitting Wanda Cleveland. sacbee.com/news/local/art…
Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said he has not talked to the deputy, but based on the video said, "There is a high likelihood that he didn’t even know that he collided with that protester." sacbee.com/news/local/cri…
