IU protest of pastor's speech leads to one arrest

Posted: Updated:
BLOOMINGTON -

A student protest of an evangelical pastor's speech led to chanting and at least one arrest on the Indiana University campus.

IU Police Chief Keith Cash tells the Herald-Times that 21-year-old Sebastian Modes was arrested for disorderly conduct Friday evening outside the Bloomington campus' Ballantine Hall.

Cash says Modes was arrested after refusing to stop disrupting a speech by the pastor, who's drawn criticism for his beliefs about homosexuality, slavery and other issues.

Junior Aidan Crane is vice president of IU's Feminist Action Coalition. He says the organization protested the pastor's speech and then started a dance party to "show solidarity and love in the face of hate and bigotry."
