A 70-year-old woman filed a civil rights lawsuit Monday against the City of Moriarty and Torrance County after being arrested and detained for three days while peacefully protesting outside a gun show in February.
“I chose to protest at the gun show because I wanted to bring my message about gun violence to people who don’t usually hear it,” Gatwood said in a statement released by the ACLU. “I never imagined that exercising my constitutional right to free speech would land me in jail from Saturday through Tuesday.”
