Authorities in Kenosha, Wisconsin, have arrested 175 people during the past week of civil unrest sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake. Most of the people who were arrested were not from Kenosha. The police department said that of the 175 people arrested, 102 listed addresses outside of the city. They said they arrested people from 44 different cities throughout the week.
Sixty-nine people were arrested for curfew violations. Of those 69 people, 34 were also hit with additional charges, including carrying concealed weapons, burglary, and possession of controlled substances. Authorities seized 20 firearms and towed three vehicles, which were related to active criminal investigations.
Authorities are anticipating the protests and riots will continue and have enacted a curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
"The public needs to be off the streets for their safety. The curfew will be enforced," the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department warned on Facebook.
