2 More Arrested At Occupy Boston Site

BOSTON (CBS) - Two more arrests were made Saturday night at the Occupy Boston site in Dewey Square.

Daniel Costello, who has been staying at the encampment, charged with assault for threatening someone with a knife. When confronted by officers, the 22-year-old gave a false name, police said.

Police said Costello had an outstanding warrant out of New Jersey for knowingly passing counterfeit $20 bill.

Michael T. Young, meanwhile, was allegedly drunk and charged with disorderly conduct. Police said the 35-year-old was yelling at other members of Occupy Boston, knocking over tents, and throwing objects around.

These arrests come after a confrontation with police earlier this week, when demonstrators tried to bring a sink into the encampment.

The demonstrators are legally allowed to stay on Dewey Square until Dec. 15. Then, a judge will decide if they should be evicted because of public safety.
