Before police officers put him in a choke hold and dragged him inside, Justin Leto stood defiantly on a balcony on the front of Osmond Lab, with duct tape partially covering his mouth and a gas mask hanging from his neck.

Along with the other members of Redirection 2000, the student group responsible for the march on East College Avenue on Sunday, Leto directed his venom toward the governors gathered in State College.

Leto, as well as four other members of Redirection 2000, was arrested for refusing to leave Osmond while trying to stage a protest during the National Governors' Association Annual Meeting last night.

The two men and three women were arraigned on charges of defiant trespass before District Justice Bradley Lunsford and refused to identify themselves, according to a press release from Penn State Police Services.

Lundsford set the preliminary hearings for July 19 and released the people on nominal bail after they agreed to provide their names to the court, according to the release.

As governors gathered across the street at the HUB - Paul Robeson Cultural Center for "A Taste of Pennsylvania," a showcase for the state's cuisine and technological innovation, the protesters displayed signs, including a large banner that read, "THE PEOPLE'S CONVENTION / a socially responsible alternative to the Governor's Convention / JULY 7-9."

Leto claimed the group had a permit to demonstrate at Osmond, and that the police had no right to remove them from the premises.

However, according to the press release, police informed the students they were trespassing and told them to remove the signs and come off the window ledges.

The group refused to remove the signs from the front of Osmond building, prompting officers from Penn State Police Services to remove the signs, and protesters, from the building.

Former Penn State Professor Juilan Heicklen stood on the sidewalk outside of Osmond and shouted to those within earshot, "This is what the United States has come to. This is not my country."
