Charges have been dropped against four Chattanooga activists who blocked a road and burned a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office flag during protests against police brutality in 2020. Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Boyd Patterson dismissed the charges yesterday after activists agreed to pay restitution for the flag, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. All four activists were charged with misdemeanors while two were also charged with vandalism and reckless burning.
