Shades Of Richard Berthold!

Another UNM professor attracts attention. In any event, the best to him!:

A University of New Mexico professor who led a brief siege of the Albuquerque mayor's office and was charged with battery on a police officer during the Monday incident is still on the faculty, the school said.

Prof. David Correia, director of the school's undergraduate program in American Studies, led more than 20 protesters who stormed the office of Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry over the city police's use of deadly force, which was the subject of a federal Department of Justice probe. While police moved in, Correia, 45, was also arrested and charged with felony battery on a police officer for allegedly shoving a member of the mayor’s security detail during the incident. Berry was not present at the time.

“Thirteen of them were charged with criminal trespass, unlawful assembly and interfering with a public official or staff,” police spokeswoman Janet Blair said.

Some protesters claimed Correia had his arms by his side and attempted to walk past the guard, who then bumped him against a wall. Correia told reporters he would plead not guilty to the charge.

“I didn't do what they are charging me with,” he said.
