Lisa Franzetta, 28, of Oakland, Calif., and Christina Hrul, 26, of Cambridge, Mass., were arrested after allegedly throwing red paint on Boston police officers.
Franzetta and Hrul were participating in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals protest against Nieman Marcus. The two were in a fake bear trap and had spread what they claimed was washable red paint on the doors and sidewalks of the store.
When two police approached them, Franzetta and Hrul allegedly showered the officers with paint. They were both arrested and charged with malicious destruction of property and disorderly conduct.
