\n A Black Lives Matter organizer in Miami was arrested for stealing a flag from a caravan supporting President Trump, police said.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Gartrelle, 31, was taken into custody by police Monday on felony charges of strong-arm robbery and escape, as well as misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer without violence and obstructing a public street in the Saturday incident, the Miami Herald reports.<\/p>\n

Gartrelle, who has reportedly been a fixture at the city\u2019s protests against police brutality in recent weeks, was struck by an SUV in the pro-Trump caravan when he stepped in front of the vehicle, but police said he didn\u2019t want to press charges, the news<\/a>paper reports.<\/p>\n

Gartrelle said Tuesday the four charges he now faces are \u201coverblown\u201d while claiming he swiped two Trump flags from nearby parked cars and tossed them to the ground \u2014 denying he stole anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir goal is to have me in jail for two weeks, get beaten up by some officer, and distract from the movement,\u201d said Gartrelle, who was released from jail Tuesday after posting bond.<\/p>\n

Police said Gartrelle told cops immedia<\/a>tely after he was struck that he didn\u2019t \u201cwant to do anything\u201d in response to the incident and refused treatment at the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police are not speaking to anyone or looking for any vehicles in reference to the incident,\u201d Miami police spokeswoman Kiara Davila told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

But Gartrelle has since reconsidered, he said, and wants police to track down the person behind the wheel of the black SUV.<\/p>\n

WSVN reported Saturday that Gartrelle stepped in front of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV during the \u201cCubans for Trump\u201d caravan that passed through downtown Miami. News cameras caught Gartrelle app<\/a>earing to jump onto the car\u2019s hood just before he was struck, the station reports.<\/p>\n

Gartrelle, who was arrested Monday at another downtown protest, was spotted by officers \u201cremoving flags fixed to the passing vehicles\u201d and throwing them onto the roadway, according to a police report obtained by the Herald.<\/p>\n

An officer tried to take Gartrelle into custody, but he ran away, police said.<\/p>\n

A woman later told police she was a passenger in a white Mercedes when Gartrelle ripped a flag from her hand, according to a police report that didn\u2019t further elaborate on what the female victim was holding at the time.<\/p>\n

Police investigators used videos from Gartrelle\u2019s Instagram account to build its case against him, according to the police report.<\/p>\n

A rally was held outside Miami police headquarters on Monday to draw attention to the incident, according to Gartrelle\u2019s Instagram page.<\/p>\n

A new advocacy group called Justice for Miami is now calling for prosecutors to drop all charges against Gartrelle, the Herald reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police in Miami is threatening the victim of a potentially fatal vehicular assault with 30 years in jail simply because they disagree with the speech he\u2019s constitutionally entitled to,\u201d the group said in a statement.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
