Title: Protest CONTINUED FROM PAGE C-1

Police arrested 17 protesters Wednesday who attempted to block the Vine Street entrance of the Westin and the Fourth Street entrance to Queen City Metro's offices.

Five of the protesters who had medical conditions too severe to be easily handled in the county lockup were released on unsecured appearance bonds Wednesday afternoon. One other protester pleaded no contest Wednesday and was released with a suspended sentence.

Of the remaining 11; eight were released Friday afternoon after the prosecution agreed to reduce the disorderly conduct charges against them from fourth-degree misdemeanors to minor misdemeanors, in exchange for guilty pleas.

The 11 jailed protesters earlier had declined to post bonds set at their arraignments Wednesday.
