VALDOSTA, GA — According to the Valdosta Daily Times, a military veteran was “detained but not charged” by Valdosta State University police after she interrupted a demonstration by taking the flag they were walking on off of the ground.
It appears that Air Force veteran Michelle Manhart was contacted by a student informing her that a group of protesters were walking on the American flag. She went to pick up the flag and refused to return it when ordered to by campus police.
It is unclear what the demonstration was about as the group refused to speak with The Valdosta Daily Times.
The protestors did not press charges and Manhart was given a criminal trespass warning effectively banning her from any campus activities such as football games.
