Saint Louis Post-Dispatch:
Quote:
While the debate was in progress, Cobb and Badnarik moved back to the opposite side of campus, along Skinker, where they broke through a police line in a symbolic gesture and were arrested.
City police reacted by calling in two busloads of additional officers in riot gear, illustrating that while heavy security was omnipresent, even greater strength stood in reserve in the shadows.

Badnarik had on him at the time an
Order to Show Cause to be delivered to the CPD in regards to the ASU debate.
The complaint alleges that the debate is state funded (true) only allowing certain players (also true), in effect making a partisan contribution to the Republican and Democratic candidates. The Arizona Superior Court agreed to hear the case on the grounds that it may be in violation of Arizona law, which forbids partisan contributions by a state entity to individuals or corporations, which the CPD is.
