PITTSBURGH — An Emlenton man who is running as the Green Party candidate for the 64th state House District was arrested Thursday afternoon in Pittsburgh, during a protest at the Duquesne Club.

Michael Bagdes-Canning, 63, was charged with resisting arrest, defiant trespass and disorderly conduct, after police say he went through the club’s revolving door and prevented it from moving, trapping nonprotestors inside. Police say Bagdes-Canning refused to move or come out of the door until officers removed and arrested him. Police said no one was hurt.

The incident occurred shortly after 12:15 p.m. Thursday, as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump visited the club to speak to members of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, during a fundraiser.

Bagdes-Canning, who has been a vocal opponent of shale gas drilling, called the Duquesne Club fundraiser “an exercise of corruption,” in an e-mail news release Friday, and said his target wasn’t the real estate mogul.

“The fact that this was a Trump event was just a nice coincidence,” he said. “If this had been one of the high roller Clinton fundraisers, I’m pretty sure (I) would have gone in there too.”

According to online court documents a preliminary hearing on the charges is scheduled for 8 a.m. Oct. 5 before Allegheny County Court Judge Jeffrey Manning.
