During a meeting about discrimination based on COVID-19 vaccine status, three people were removed by police, including one man who was arrested while wearing a "We the People" t-shirt.
Before reconvening the meeting, McCay reportedly issued a warning to remove signs and stickers that demonstrated support for House Bill 60, an edict that seemed to make things worse.
"There was a lot of people in there. He took off his sticker; he didn't take his shirt off, and they had the Highway Patrol come and take him out, saying he was disrupting the meeting," Anderson continued.
The sticker in question read "Vote yes on HB60," KSTU-TV reported.
Network reporter Daniel Woodruff shared photos and footage of the unidentified man being cuffed and led out of the room by Utah Highway Patrol officers.
The man was quickly subdued and hustled away, but the crowd became more agitated and erupted in anger over the perceived injustice of his arrest, especially those who thought it had to do with the message on his shirt.
The man with the sticker was slapped with a Class B misdemeanor and released, and the matter is now in the hands of the Salt Lake City Justice Court.
