Preschool teacher arrested after TV interview criticizing Trump for recent attacks against Venezuela

This is the moment a preschool teacher was arrested on camera after criticizing Trump for recent attacks against Venezuela.

On Jan 5th, Jessica Plichta, 22, attended a march in Grand Rapids, Michigan, protesting Trump's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

After an interview with WZZM 13, Plichta was approached by two police officers who stated that she allegedly failed to obey a lawful order of a police officer.

Plichta was then arrested and taken to the Kent County jail, where she was released after three hours and told to expect a notification of a formal charge.
