Louise Lucas, a Virginia state senator, among others, has been charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000.

The charges come after an incident on June 10, when protesters demanded the removal of a 127-year-old Confederate monument in Portsmouth, Virginia. During those protests, the Portsmouth city council moved to schedule a public hearing on the relocation of the monument six weeks later.
