MIAMI -- Four news photographers were among the hundreds arrested in the Little Havana protests, including a woman working for the Los Angeles Times who police said threw several rocks at police and then photographed the action.
Carolyn Cole, 38, was arrested on felony charges of throwing deadly missiles, Miami Police Det. Delrish Moss said Sunday. She faces up to five years if convicted, he said.Cole "was seen throwing two or three rocks and then picked up her camera and proceeded to take photographs," Moss said.
The newspaper did not return messages left at its photo and news desks.
A photo by Cole appeared on the front page of Sunday's paper, and several ran inside. The paper also reported her arrest at the end of a longer article.
Moss said three other photographers were arrested on charges that ranged from misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct to a felony charge of battery on a police officer. He did not have confirmation of the news outlets they worked for.
