Lone protestor arrested at day labor center

By KATU Web Staff

PORTLAND, Ore. - A man vowed to get arrested while protesting Portland's controversial new day labor center and on Tuesday he got his wish.

Tom Wenning staged a one-man protest this week outside the city-subsidized center.

On Monday, officers gave Wenning a warning for blocking the driveway.

He said he would return on Tuesday and force police to arrest him and that's what happened at 8 a.m.

Wenning has a court date to fight the criminal trespassing charge.
