Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine's Son Gets Probation In Trump Protest

ST. PAUL, MN — Linwood "Woody" Kaine, youngest son of Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, received probation stemming from his arrest at a rally in St. Paul in March.

Woody Kaine, 25, of Minneapolis, was one of eight people arrested and he pleaded guilty to obstructing the legal process. He served four days in jail and was ordered to pay $236 in fines and fees related to his arrest following a rally for President Donald Trump. Two misdemeanor charges were dismissed earlier this month.

During the rally, Woody Kaine and others changed into black clothes and went into the Capitol, a criminal complaint said. Kaine ran and resisted arrest, the complaint said.

Two others were charged with prohibited use of tear gas. A smoke bomb was thrown during the disturbance, authorities said.

"Some were charged for disruptive activity at the rally but Woody behaved peacefully there and faced no such charges," said Sarah Peck, a spokeswoman for Tim Kaine.

"Tim and Anne love and support their son and are glad the matter is resolved."

Tim Kaine was Hillary Clinton's running mate during the 2016 presidential election.
