A Democrat state representative in Georgia was dramatically arrested on Thursday after attempting to interrupt the signing of a crucial new election reform.

State rep. Park Cannon was dragged away in handcuffs after knocking on the door to Governor Kemp’s office and refusing to stop.

As Fox News reports:

 

State Rep. Park Cannon from Atlanta was seen placed into a patrol car outside the building by state troopers after she was removed from the building. She had knocked on the door of Kemp’s office as he was live-streaming an announcement that he had signed the bill, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

“She was instructed that no one was in the front office and to stop beating on the door,” troopers wrote in a statement after the arrest, according to FOX 5 of Atlanta.

Troopers said Cannon was booked into the Fulton County jail on charges of obstruction of law enforcement,and preventing or disrupting General Assembly sessions or other meetings. The obstruction charge carries a potential penalty of one to five years in prison, FOX 5 reported.

Cannon was released shortly before 11:30 p.m. ET, greeted by demonstrators who had called for her release.
