ATLANTA, Ga. (WTVF) — Saturday night, protesters took to Atlanta streets in response to the death of an environmental activist at the hands of police, resulting in the arrest of six people - including a Nashville woman.
What began as a peaceful protest eventually shifted tone when some crowd members smashed windows, shot fireworks, and set a patrol car ablaze on Peachtree Street in downtown.
According to Atlanta Police, 24-year-old Nadja Geier, was one of six people apprehended Saturday night.
