BOSTON (AP) — The daughter of Massachusetts Democratic congresswoman Katherine Clark was arrested during a protest on Boston Common and later charged with assault after a police officer was injured. In a statement on its website, the Boston Police Department says the 23-year-old is expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court. Clark has tweeted that her daughter, Riley Dowell, has been arrested and calls it “a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting.” Police say the arrest took place while a monument located within Boston Common was being defaced with spray paint and anti-police phrases.
