Najari Smith, a Richmond bicycling activist who was arrested while leading a group bike ride in Oakland in August, has a court appearance on the morning of Aug. 3`, and supporters will rally at Oakland’s Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse on his behalf.
Smith, 39, was arrested on Aug. 3, shortly after the monthly First Friday art festival on Telegraph Avenue. Police said he was impeding traffic and playing music too loudly and failed to provide identification, and he was jailed for two days.
