Seattle police arrest teen for felony property damage during protest

A teen was arrested Saturday in Seattle for felony property damage during a protest, and police say the King County juvenile detention facility declined to book the suspect into custody.

Police say "approximately 200 individuals" participated in a demonstration on Saturday afternoon in downtown Seattle near the Space Needle.

The demonstrators were "disrupting traffic and violating municipal laws," and officers observed several tags of black spray paint graffiti on the concrete columns of the Seattle Monorail.

The female teen suspect was eventually located and arrested on suspicion of malicious mischief in the second degree, police say. Black spray paint was found and matching paint could be seen on her hands, according to police.
