G-20 protester gets probation
PITTSBURGH — A woman accused of throwing her bicycle at police during the Group of 20 economic summit in will spend nine months on probation in a program for first-time offenders.
Lauren Wasson, 24, of Pittsburgh, was recorded throwing the bike on Pittsburgh TV news video last September. Her attorney says she wasn't a protester, but was biking home when she got caught up as police shooed protesters from the University of Pittsburgh.
She entered the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program Friday.
