LEXINGTON, Ky. _ Protesters returned to downtown Lexington for the fourth night in a row Monday, demonstrating against police violence as similar protests continue to unfold across the nation.
The protests followed three peaceful protests over the weekend, including a large demonstration on Sunday night. The Monday group of protesters was smaller. The group walked through several downtown streets, blocked some intersections and had a "die-in" at Main and Quality Streets.
They also stopped in front of Lexington police headquarters on Main Street, where they faced a line of Lexington police officers, much as the larger group had done the night before.
As the crowd chanted, "Walk with us," several officers did just that, and began walking with the protest group. A short time later, officers and protesters stopped to pray together.
After the prayers, protesters continued to march on without officers accompanying them. They stopped multiple times to kneel and call out names of victims of police violence. The march continued into the late hours of Monday night before one protester was taken into custody Tuesday morning, police said.
Kaulbert William Wilson, 19, was charged with assault, two counts of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, evading police, inciting a riot, and two counts of menacing, according to the Fayette County Detention Center website.
