PASADENA >> A Black Lives Matter organizer was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail for a 2015 incident in which she interfered with the arrest of another woman outside a local restaurant.

Jasmine Richards was found guilty on June 2 of “attempting to unlawfully take a person from the lawful custody of a peace officer,” according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

Richards has already served 18 days of that sentence while she was in custody.

In addition to jail time, Richards was sentenced to three years of formal probation and was ordered to attend anger management classes.

District Attorney’s Office spokesman Ricardo Santiago said prosecutors asked that the anger management classes be included in the sentence.

Richards was leading a protest on Sept. 2, 2015, at La Pintoresca Park in Pasadena when the other woman approached the group after reportedly getting in a fight with the staff of the restaurant.

When police attempted to arrest the other woman, Richards and some of the protesters tried to intervene.

On social media, protesters noted that Richards’ charges were previously referred to as “lynching.”

Gov. Jerry Brown removed the word “lynching” from the state’s penal code in July 2015 after another Black Lives Matters protester was arrested on the charge.

Black Lives Matter and Color of Change activists rallied outside Pasadena Superior Court during the sentencing hearing, urging Judge Elaine Lu to not sentence Richards to any jail time.

“Free Jasmine and all political prisoners,” they chanted. “When you jail the revolution, the revolution don’t die.”
