A staffer for a top Democratic lawmaker in Oregon was arrested for
interfering with a police officer during the 101st day of Portland
riots.

Kristina Narayan, who works for the Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives Tina Kotek, was arrested on Saturday night.

The legislative director was one of 59 people to be arrested during
the riots that night police confirmed.

Tear gas was used by police as protests in Oregon's largest city
raged on this weekend, nearly four months after they first began in
May.

Ms Narayan was booked in the Multnomah County Detention Center after
her arrest.

An official statement lists Ms Narayan as 'resisting a peace
officer', while the 58 other offenders' crimes ranged from
assaulting police officers to disorderly conduct.

'Kristina Narayan was arrested for interfering with a police officer
after the event became a riot and the crowd was given multiple
orders to disperse, which she did not do,' a spokesperson told Fox
News.

So far neither Ms Narayan or Ms Kotek have publicly responded to the
arrest as pressure builds on the under fire staffer.

Ms Narayan describes her job as synthesizing 'complex ideas into
clear work products, policies, and build consensus to help pass
legislation'.
