Biography
Danny Johnson, an Occupy Los Angeles and Occupy Walk USA participant, was arrested at an immigrant-rights march in Chicago on May 15, 2012 during the week of protests against the NATO summit. Accused of aggravated battery to a police officer and obstructing traffic, he spent seven days in jail before the charges were dismissed. Prosecutors later revived the case. Johnson returned to Chicago and was detained again before being released with an electronic monitor. He was returned to jail on September 25 over an alleged monitoring violation and remained there until November 13, when he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and received community service and probation.
