At least four people, including Oss\u00e9 were arrested at the protest, all of whom were charged with obstruction of government administration and disorderly conduct and were issued a desk appearance ticket, the NYPD told PIX11 News.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the New York City Sheriff and Marshals went to 200 Jefferson Ave. to carry out an eviction on Wednesday morning. Law enforcement officials were also directed to find Charrington\u2019s father, who is under protection by the state of Georgia, but hadn\u2019t been there for several years.<\/p>\n

Upon encountering the protestors, the NYC Marshals called for backup from the NYPD, which later led to the arrests.<\/p>\n

Timeline of Councilman Chi Oss\u00e9\u2019s arrest<\/p>\n

7:42 a.m. \u2013 NYC Marshals called for NYPD backup<\/p>\n

7:55 a.m. \u2013 NYPD arrives on scene, and the Marshals tell the NYPD that they are unable to carry out this court order because the protesters are blocking them. When NYPD officers arrive on scene, they request to see the eviction notice and associated paperwork from the Marshals.<\/p>\n

8:40 a.m. \u2013 30 protesters are on scene and NYPD calls for additional officers because of the large crowd. There were multiple verbal commands given to protesters that they were blocking a law enforcement action and a court order, and that they would be arrested if they did not disperse.<\/p>\n

9:27 a.m. \u2013 The first arrest is made, more than an hour and a half after NYPD first arrived on the scene. The NYPD made four arrests, all of whom were charged with obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

Oss\u00e9 was arrested after two protesters were arrested for blocking the gate in front of the building. When those two were arrested, Oss\u00e9 was not in front of the gate, police say.<\/p>\n

Once those two were arrested, Oss\u00e9 pushes past officers who were attempting to block him from standing in front of the gate, and then he begins to block the gate entrance, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

An NYPD officer verbally engages Oss\u00e9 for a few seconds before attempting to arrest him, law enforcement officials report.<\/p>\n

Oss\u00e9 appeared to flail his arms and hands to prevent officers from restraining him, police say.<\/p>\n

The officers have no room behind them (gate to house up against them and Oss\u00e9) to maneuver Oss\u00e9 and end up taking him down for arrest, as is within guidelines for making an arrest for someone committing obstruction of governmental administration, authorities report.<\/p>\n

Video posted to the councilmember\u2019s social media page showed the moment he was taken to the ground by officers during the arrest. City Council Speaker Julie Menin says Oss\u00e9 sustained injuries from the incident, while the councilmember reported that two other people arrested with him were also injured.<\/p>\n

The \u2018deed theft\u2019 case<\/p>\n

Charrington has been in a two-year fight against brownstone developer 227 Group LLC to maintain the home\u2019s deed. Her family says Charrington holds the power of attorney for her father\u2019s estate and that he granted her the property.<\/p>\n

The family has continued to own the home for 60 years, but a little over a year and a half ago, the developer tried to change the locks to the door, the family told PIX11.<\/p>\n

The father\u2019s name is also on a deed for a property in Atlanta where he\u2019s lived for the last few decades, according to the family. A legal back-and-forth between Georgia and New York authorities has resulted in the most recent challenges, including having Charrington in jail on Rikers Island for six days.<\/p>\n

Police say Charrington had a court appearance on March 31, during which the judge asked for the location of her father who was under\u00a0the legal protection\u00a0of the state of Georgia. She had until April 16 to bring her father to court, but when she appeared at the follow-up hearing without him, she was arrested for civil contempt and taken to Rikers, authorities reported.<\/p>\n

Despite Wednesday\u2019s eviction notice, the Charrington family remained in the Brooklyn home.<\/p>\n
