WICHITA — Two men who were arrested over a widely circulated social media post that urged violence and looting in suburban Wichita neighborhoods have been released.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the arrests of 20-year-old Michael Boston Jr., of Wichita, and 19-year-old Rashawn Mayes Jr., of Park City, on suspicion of incitement of a riot sparked immediate outcry on social media.
Wichita City Council member Brandon Johnson posted a supportive video on Facebook, saying the men “were arrested for sharing information that we all saw.”
