Occupy Salt Lake plans protest at Utah Legislature

SALT LAKE CITY -- Occupy Salt Lake protesters are planning a theatrical critique of corporate influence at the Utah Legislature.

Occupy Salt Lake City activist Lionel Tiepanlev is carried out of the protest’s encampment after being arrested by police for refusing to leave Saturday. City officials rescinded permits for the group to stay in the park overnight on Friday, about 12 hours after a man was found dead of a likely drug overdose and carbon monoxide poisoning in a Pioneer Park tent.

SALT LAKE CITY — Police arrested 19 protesters supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement who refused to remove tents from a downtown park late Saturday but avoided the violent clashes that have occurred in other cities across the nation. Some of the other demonstrators were headed to Ogden and Provo late Saturday night to continue their efforts.
