Protest organizer Carlos Chaverst Jr. was arrested again Thursday night. It was his second arrest in 48 hours.

Chaverst, 25, was taken into custody shortly after 8:30 p.m. in a Ross Bridge subdivision. He is charged with disorderly conduct – a misdemeanor – for using a bullhorn in a subdivision.

Authorities believe he and other protesters were en route to protest outside the home of Hoover City Councilman Derrick Murphy. Other protesters were told they cannot use bullhorns in a subdivision. Around two dozen people went to protest.

Protesters scattered after Chaverst was taken into custody. Some continued waking up the street to where they originally planned to protest and others left to go to the Hoover City Jail.

Chaverst arrived at the Hoover City Jail about 9:15 p.m. and was undergoing the booking process. As of 9:45 p.m., about a dozen protesters were waiting for Chaverst to be released at the Hoover City Jail. Chaverst was released just after 10 p.m. Around 20 protesters waited for him to be released from the jail.

After leaving the jail, Chaverst briefly spoke to protesters and reporters outside the jail. He said called the charges he was arrested on “frivolous.”

“What they’re [police] are looking to do is to try to deter us from the overall scope of things,” Chaverst said.

“We are demanding answers. We are demanding transparency. We are demanding the videos be released. We’re demanding that the mayor resign. We’re demanding that [Capt.] Gregg Rector resign. We’re demanding that the chief of police resigns or is fired. We’re demanding that the Justice Department come in and do some kind of overhaul of this police department,” Chaverst said.

Activist and the head of the Outcast Voters League Frank Matthews was at the jail after Chaverst was released. He told the protesters to not be discouraged.

“We want to say to all the young people that are afraid because of the arrests that have happened. Don’t you get discouraged," Matthews said.

Chaverst said the protesters “aren’t going to stop."

“We can’t get E.J. back, but at the very least, we can fight for justice for him and for his entire family. Let’s continue to do that every single day. We won’t stop,” he said just before protesters left the jail.

Chaverst was arrested Tuesday night when he and a group of 30 to 40 others showed up to demonstrate at the Hoover Public Safety Center. Hoover police and Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies, joined by Vestavia Hills police, arrested Chaverst that night on four outstanding warrants – three for disorderly conduct and one for loitering.

It wasn’t immediately clear which protests the disorderly conduct charges stem from, but the loitering charge came from wearing a mask in public at the Dec. 6 protest at Renaissance Ross Bridge. He was out on bond Tuesday night within 30 minutes.

Since the Nov. 22, 2018 death of Emantic Fitzgerald “EJ” Bradford Jr. at the hands of Hoover police officer at the Riverchase Galleria, multiple protests have been held in Hoover -- including the Galleria, outside Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato’s home, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Buffalo Wild Wings and on Interstate 459, where protests briefly shut down traffic at the Interstate 65 interchange. One week ago tonight, a group of about 60 took their protest to Ross Bridge and later the YMCA on Highway 150 at South Shades Crest Road.

Hoover officials last Friday said two Ross Bridge security guards were injured during the Thursday-night protests. One suffered an arm injury when the protesters entered the hotel lobby, the other suffered a knee injury when he was knocked down as protesters entered a stairwell. No charges have yet been filed in connection with those reported injuries. Chaverst had vehemently denied that any protesters injured the security guards.

Earlier today, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced his officer was taking over the Galleria shooting cases from Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr for, in part, a possible conflict of interest over the appearance of Carr having a conflict of interest because Chaverst and other protesters campaigned for him.

In addition to Chaverst’s arrest, five other protesters have also been arrested.

Martez Lamar Parker, 25, was taken into custody Wednesday inside Target at The Grove shopping center. He is charged with loitering with a mask. Parker was wearing a bandanna over his face. He was released on $500.

Protesters entered the Target just before 8 p.m. They briefly walked through the store, pushing shopping carts, before Parker was taken into custody.

19 Protesters at Hoover Target and Hoover Jail

Sherrette Spicer, 37, was taken into custody Tuesday by Mountain Brook Police, who determined she had an outstanding warrant for disorderly conduct in connection with the Dec. 4 protest that ended in a brief blockage at I-459 and I-65. She was extradited to Hoover, and already has posted bond on the misdemeanor charge.

Spicer’s Facebook page describes her as the local chairwoman of the New Black Panther Party.

Mark Myles, 36, was arrested Sunday afternoon on an outstanding warrant, also for disorderly conduct in connection with the same incident, when officers spotted him at the mall. Myles was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Tuesday afternoon on a felony drug charge that stemmed from a traffic stop in Mountain Brook Monday.

Authorities said Myles was pulled over for an undisclosed traffic violation. As police prepared to impound the car, they discovered illicit drugs. Myles is charged with first-degree marijuana possession, a felony, and possession of imitation drugs, a misdemeanor. He has been released after posting $5,300 bond.

Susan Diprizio, 48, was arrested Thursday, Dec. 6, when Hoover police received a report of someone in front of Hoover City Hall throwing Christmas ornaments into traffic. Authorities say Diprizio also was standing in traffic on U.S. 31 and tried to climb on the hood of a vehicle while stating she was “going to stop traffic until there was justice for EJ.” She has a previous conviction for disorderly conduct in Autauga County in 2015, and failure to obey police in Prattville in 2017.

Andy Baer, an assistant professor in the Department of History at UAB, was arrested by Hoover police and Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies near the Galleria, according to Hoover city officials. Baer, 37, is charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the Dec. 4 protests on I-459. He was taken into custody during a traffic stop on Galleria Circle. The arrest was shown on Facebook Live by others in the car with Baer.
