At least four people were arrested early Friday morning in downtown Moscow as protesters sat cross-legged in front of the 413,600-poundmegaload making its way north on Washington Street. Several of the protesters passively resisted arrest, and law enforcement officers crammed limp bodies into a Latah County Sheriff’s Office van. Some who weren’t arrested yelled and made lewd gestures at police and the megaload convoy, while counterprotesters called for law enforcement to make arrests and get people out of the crosswalk/ Moscow-Pullman Daily News .
