Jason Brown, 48, of Cape Canaveral was arrested Sept. 13, FDLE said. There are two outstanding arrest warrants for additional demonstrators who live out of state.
Their hanging banners from the bridge violates a newly enacted state law, FDLE said. Earlier this year, Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 269, which includes provisions that prohibit people from displaying or projecting images onto a building, structure or property without permission.
