For more on journalist arrests in Ferguson, see Max Fisher's previous story, which noted: "It is becoming clear that police in Ferguson are targeting journalists, using intimidation, arbitrary arrests, and physical force."
Meanwhile, at least 78 people were arrested on Monday night
The list above only covers journalists. According to arrest data obtained from NBC News, some 78 people in total were arrested on Monday, August 18.
Those arrest records showed that just 18 of those people were from outside Missouri — contradicting earlier statements from authorities that largely blamed out-of-state protesters for causing problems.
That was confirmed again by data released this evening from the St. Louis County police department, who reported that they had arrested 52 people in Ferguson over the same time period. (Presumably this is just a subset of all arrests in Ferguson, as there are multiple police departments there.)
Of those, 14 arrestees were from out of state — and four of those were from neighboring Illinois. Here's a more precise breakdown:
In-state arrestees:
Bel-Ridge, MO (1)
City of St. Louis, MO (15)
Creve Coeur, MO (1)
Ferguson, MO (4)
Flordell Hills, MO (1)
Florissant, MO (7)
Hazelwood, MO (1)
Jennings, MO (2)
Unincorporated St. Louis County (6)
And here's a breakdown of out-of-state arrestees:
Alabama (1)
California (1)
Illinois (4)
Maryland (1)
New York (4)
Texas (1)
Virginia (1)
Washington DC (1)
(It's worth noting that East Saint Louis is in Illinois and very close to Ferguson, although it's not clear where the Illinois arrestees came from.)
