A protester arrested at Columbia University is reportedly the wealthy heir to a multimillion-dollar advertising empire, according to the New York Post.
An alleged violent, outside agitator arrested at the anti-Israel Columbia University protest is reportedly the privileged heir of a multimillion-dollar ad empire, according to New York City police. The New York Post reported that James Carlson, aka Cody Carlson, aka Cody Tarlow, is a 'longtime anarchist' with no known ties to Columbia University who was arrested when police raided the encampment at Hamilton Hall on Tuesday.
Three suspects approached the victim and took the flag, the NYPD said. The suspect who took the flag ran into a crowd and the victim was hit in the face with a rock thrown by a second suspect as he tried following them, police said. A third suspect grabbed the flag and set it on fire, police said. The victim sustained minor injuries and refused medical attention. Carlson is alleged to have participated in the assault. The other two suspects are being sought.
Carlson's 2005 arrest is related to a violent 'West Coast Anti-Capitalist Mobilization and March Against the G8' protest in San Francisco, where protesters injured a police officer, fracturing his skull, and smashed several store windows, the New York Post reported. Carlson and his attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
