Capitol protests marked by swings, sprays and 3 arrests

Lansing — Thousands of demonstrators who earlier in the day swarmed over the Capitol and its grounds to protest the state House's passage of right-to-work legislation were virtually all gone by this evening.

Both chambers were adjourned after a raucous day that led to three arrests, some protesters being pepper sprayed and the tent of a conservative group being torn down.

The two were detained after they tried to push past troopers to get inside the George Romney Building across from the Capitol where the governor has an office, State Police Capt. Harold Love told reporters. A third was arrested after not following trooper orders outside the Romney building.
