Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas turned herself in on Tuesday to the sheriff’s office after she was charged in connection to the dismantling of a Confederate statue that left a man seriously injured in June in the midst of nationwide Black Lives Matter protests and riots.
Sheriff’s office spokesman Marvin Waters told CNN that Lucas was released on a personal recognizance bond on Tuesday afternoon, which means that she did not have to post bail. She’s facing charges of conspiracy to commit a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000.
