Lone Atlanta Occupy Wall Street protester arrested after refusing to leave park

ATLANTA Police arrested five people early Monday at or near Woodruff Park that has been an off-and-on site of Wall Street protests similar to the ones being held in other U.S. cities, a day after 19 demonstrators were taken to jail by officers in riot gear when a rally spilled into the streets.

Officers said one protester draped in an American flag inside Woodruff Park was arrested after refusing to leave by a Sunday night curfew, and four other people on bicycles were arrested near the park - three for traffic violations and one for obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
