    Five protesters were arrested in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday evening amid protests in the city against the Republican National Convention.

    The Associated Press reported that demonstrators were arrested on a variety of protest-related charges as the demonstrations continued for a second night in the city where GOP officials will meet this week to officially nominate President Trump for reelection.

    One person was reportedly arrested for possession of a weapon at a protest after officers found a firearm in their possession. At least three others were arrested for assaulting police and refusing lawful orders, authorities said.
