Several of the agitators arrested outside a Minnesota hotel where they believed Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was staying have criminal records, with one arrestee openly embracing a “disrupt disturb resist” slogan on Instagram.
The agitators were outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on Monday night where they had thought Bovino was staying. Arrests were made after authorities said the demonstration was “no longer considered peaceful,” and declared it an unlawful assembly.
Maple Grove police said its officers were responding to reports of a protest at the hotel, adding that it escalated when agitators allegedly began damaging property and throwing objects at officers.
Several people were arrested after they allegedly did not leave once an unlawful assembly and dispersal order was issued, officials said.

“The Maple Grove Police Department respects and upholds the First Amendment rights of individuals to peacefully assemble and express their views. Our priority remains the safety and security of all residents, visitors, and property within our community,” police said in a statement to KSTP. “At that point, the activity was no longer considered peaceful. Individuals participating in criminal acts are not protected under the First Amendment and were subject to arrest.”
Here are the 13 people arrested by police after protesting outside the hotel where they believed Bovino was staying:
Justin Neal Shelton
Justin Neal Shelton was arrested on charges of obstructing legal process. In 2007, Shelton pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree aggravated robbery after prosecutors said he beat up a pregnant woman while he and another individual were trying to steal her car, according to the Pioneer Press.
When the woman asked Shelton and the other person to leave, they knocked her to the ground and kept kicking her, even striking her with a bottle. The woman’s fetus wasn’t harmed in the incident.
Shelton was sentenced to almost five years in prison. At sentencing, Shelton apologized for his role in the attack.
“First of all, I want to say how sorry I am,” Shelton said. “Even though I was intoxicated at the time, that does not justify my wrongdoing.”
In October 2020, Shelton was also convicted of possessing a firearm or ammunition after committing a violent crime, court records show.
