Choate ran afoul of a new Sacramento city ordinance that prohibits people in parades from carrying dangerous items or wearing a gas mask or other "filters" over the face. The ordinance first came into play this week during mass protests of an agriculture conference at the Sacramento Convention Center.
Of the nearly 60 people arrested, records show 16 were cited under the ordinance for carrying or wearing bandanas, gas masks, a drum, rocks and a plastic flagpole.
