CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio- A Lorain councilman and former west side Cleveland activist who rallied for Ariel Castro-Seymour victims Gina  DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight and was a member of the community grassroots group the Guardian Angel was arrested over the weekend (Editor's note: DeJesus, Berry and Knight were held for a decade and raped by the late Ariel Castro at his home on Seymour Avenue on Cleveland's west side before getting free in 2013. Castro, a former Cleveland schools bus driver, hanged himself in prison while serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole).

Lorain Ward 6 Councilman Angel Arroyo Jr., 34 and a Hispanic-American elected to serve for the 2016-2017 term, was arrested Saturday morning about 1:00 a.m. at Jenee Drive near Jaeger Road in Lorain following a run-in with police. (Editor's note: Arroyo traveled to Puerto Rico in October and two times thereafter relative to the devastation there behind Hurricane Maria and told reporters then that "it's really terrible out there''. He was recognized  by the city of Cleveland and Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams in November 2014 as a member of the Guardian Angels for the groups community service and keeping down violence in the city through community patrols).

The councilman is charged with misdemeanors of resisting arrest, obstructing official business, disorderly conduct persisting, disorderly conduct by intoxication, and disturbing the peace.

Arroyo told Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com Sunday morning that "I appreciate the support and will comment publicly to the community on this issue when this case is done."

Arroyo celebrated his birthday Friday night with friends at Disco's Bistro and fell out with a friend who did not want him to drive intoxicated, the friend telling police that he took his car keys and Arroyo, in turn, allegedly jumped on the hood of the car and then fell off.

The friend, who lived down the street, later handed the car keys to Arroyo's wife, the police report says, and he told police when they arrived that he did not want Arryo on his property.

Arroyo told police that his leg was hurt in the incident, police saying they saw no such evidence of his claim.

"I went to the hospital after jail and the doctor says I have a fractured knee cap," said Arroyo, who said he went over to his friends home after the incident with the car because he was allegedly hurt.

Police say he allegedly pulled his hands back when arrested, a typical and often erroneous allegation they use to maliciously charge community activists and some others with resisting arrest.
