State Representative Attica Scott, who is the only Black woman in the Kentucky General Assembly, was arrested alongside her teenage daughter Thursday evening in the district she represents.
reached out to Scott's office Sunday for additional remarks and any concerns about the felony charge for first-degree rioting.
Scott told MSNBC that heavily armed right-wing protesters who have also staked out portions of Louisville were not arrested or detained to her knowledge. She said this is not surprising because"they seem to work closely with the Louisville Metro Police Department."
