Two El Reno residents are among those who were arrested during protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
The Oklahoman reports that 30-year-old Ciara Gardiner and 31-year-old Dylan Risenhoover were arrested at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday on complaints of unlawful assembly and resisting arrest.
The protests began after a grand jury declined to indict a Ferguson police officer in the shooting death of an unarmed man.
Authorities said early Wednesday that 45 people were arrested overnight in Ferguson and 13 others were arrested in St. Louis.
