Five people were arrested at Western Kentucky University Wednesday evening after demonstrators began protesting the election of Donald Trump as president outside a residence hall.
Campus police said the crowd gathered outside Pearce Ford Tower was peaceful at first, but then it escalated into people shoving each other and throwing bottles.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to assist campus police with the large “out of control” crowd.
The agency said it arrested five people who refused multiple orders to leave the area. All five are charged with failure to disperse and disorderly conduct.
The sheriff’s office says the arrests were made to maintain order and ensure public safety.
