(KGUN0-TV) – Four Occupy Tucson Protesters spent Saturday night in jail, including former mayoral candidate Mary DeCamp.

A total of six protesters have been arrested, since Thursday, for refusing to sign their citation for being at Veinte De Agosto Park after hours.  Saturday night’s arrest was DeCamp’s second. 

Michael Migliore chained himself to a light post when Tucson Police arrived to hand out citations.

“They had to use bolt cutters to cut it, in order to take me to jail,” he said.

He said it would have been his 14th citation. 

“I didn't feel that I had broken any law. I was there exercising my first amendment right,” said Migliore.

Fellow protesters say they support those who were arrested and say they’re planning to either chain themselves of lock arms Monday night, which they expect will result in a large group of arrests.
