RENO, Nev. (AP) - An Occupy Reno protester has been arrested after police said he refused to leave a protest camp.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports 39-year-old Edward Gill stayed behind in his tent after the three-month permit for Occupy Reno to use Moana Park as a campsite expired Wednesday.

Police went to the park Thursday night to remind Gill and several others that the permit had expired.

Police Lt. Robert Larson says officers returned a couple of hours later to find that Gill remained but the others had left.

Larson says Gill refused an offer to stay at a local homeless shelter and refused to sign a citation. He was then arrested on suspicion of being in the park after hours.

Gill remained in the Washoe County jail on Friday morning.

How refreshing to find the same kind of "open-minded" folks in Nevada, as in Colorado.

Broke...asking for free stuff...mad at others for their success. The Democratic Party wants YOU!

As a democrat I find the Occupy movement to be a big waste of time. I believe in helping those that need it but I cannot and will not condem people for being successful. Remember JFK, and stop asking your country for handouts....or being envious of those that are.
