Demonstrators with the Occupy movement gather in Oakland

OAKLAND | January 28, 2012

300 Occupy Oakland protesters were arrested for failing to disperse according to Oakland officials. Police Sgt. Christopher Bolton says protesters marched through downtown Oakland a little before 8 p.m. Saturday, with some of the protesters entering a YMCA building in the city's downtown. The 300 arrests Saturday night come after 19 people were arrested in Occupy Oakland protests during the day making Saturday a busy day at the Oakland Police Department.

Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan said police began to make the 300 arrests after the group assembled outside City Hall late Saturday morning and marched through the streets, disrupting traffic as they threatened to take over the vacant Henry Kaiser Convention Center.

Tear gas and "flash" grenades were reported used by the police on the group of protesters Saturday afternoon after some of them threw rocks and other objects at the police who estimate the number of protesters at the height of the demonstration to range between 1,000 and 2,000 people.
