Eight Arrested at Trump Rally in Colorado Springs
Eight people were arrested at the Trump rally in Colorado Springs on Thursday, police said.
Those arrested, on suspicion of failure to desist or disperse, were taken to the El Paso County jail, where they were cited and released, according to police.
The suspects “obstructed traffic,” according to police, at Venetucci Boulevard and Cheyenne Meadows Road, the roadway entrance and exit outside the Broadmoor World Arena, where President Donald Trump and Sen. Cory Gardner took the stage before a packed house.

After several warnings to clear the roadway, the Colorado Springs Public Order Response Team made the arrests.
“The crowd disregarded the orders, and a number of people were taken into custody,” the release said.
The eight, who were handcuffed and taken from the gathering, were cited with a violation of Colorado Springs municipal code.
