Police acknowledgment of the investigation Monday continued a string of developments tied to an Occupy Asheville demonstration last week.

An attorney with the movement was released after two days in jail on contempt-of-court charges filed when she demanded more information about weekend arrests. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x632708
