2 dozen arrested at Wells Fargo meeting, protest

SAN FRANCISCO -

San Francisco police say they've arrested about two dozen people who demonstrated at the Wells Fargo's annual shareholders meeting.

At least 14 of them were inside the meeting in the city's financial district yesterday. Six others were arrested for trespassing. The San Francisco Sheriff's Department arrested another four.

The bank protest drew several hundred protesters, many associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The demonstrators criticized the San Francisco-based company for pursuing home foreclosures, predatory lending, not paying enough taxes, and investing in private prison companies.
