Man arrested at Englewood City Council meeting

Englewood Herald: Englewood police arrested 50-year-old Zephaniah Pickering and charged him with trespassing and interference in a public building following “a disturbance” during an Englewood City Council meeting Monday. 

In an email to the Englewood Herald on Oct. 24, Englewood police said Pickering was found to be filming out of the designated filming area as declared by the council in their recently changed policy regarding filming and recording. 

“(He) was asked by Mayor Othoniel Sierra to go to the designated recording area at the back of the room if he wished to continue recording,” the department said. “Pickering continued to record from his current location, and Sierra asked Pickering to leave the meeting. Pickering refused to comply with the mayor’s request, stood up, and began to walk towards the podium.”
