“Bernie identified it himself,” Tad Devine, a senior adviser to the campaign, told the newspaper, adding that Sanders has seen the digital image.

According to the negative of the arrest photo, the incident occurred on Aug. 12, 1963, near South 73rd Street and Lowe Avenue.

And based on the Tribune‘s records, Sanders was found guilty and charged with resisting arrest, and paid a $25 fine.
