Hines-Brim and another woman, Melina Abdullah, were booked on suspicion of battery on a police officer. The agency said Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter activist and a professor at California State University at Los Angeles, assaulted an officer before the meeting room was cleared.
Abdullah said she and Hines-Brim were falsely arrested. Gina Viola, who said she was at the meeting and was standing next to Abdullah, said Abdullah never touched an officer and was forcibly taken away.
The women were later released, Abdullah tweeted Tuesday night.
“I used her ashes so they can be with him, so he can feel her, because he murdered her,” Hines-Brim said after her release from jail, according to KCBS. “They covered it up.”
