The hotel owner who banned Native Americans from her property in South Dakota was arrested today for attacking protesters. The owner of the Grand Gateway Hotel in Rapid City was charged with three counts of simple assault by the Rapid City Police Department for spraying a cleaning agent in the faces of several people outside the hotel. The Rapid City police have confirmed Uhre's arrest, according to Warren Poaches. The incident was recorded during a protest at the hotel. Since March, when Uhre made derogatory comments about Native American people and banned them from the hotel property, the Grand Gateway and Uhre have been under fire. In a video published by NDN Collective, Uhre had a bottle of Pledge, a home cleaning product, and sprayed three separate times towards other demonstrators outside the Grand Gateway Hotel. One of the victims of the incident, Lucie McClellan, told Native News Online that he was shocked and was facing three surgeries for his eye. McClellan attends the demonstrations with her husband. She was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Lloyd Big Crow, one of the demonstrators at Friday's event, told Native News Online that he thought it was a tranquilizer. The nephew of Big Crow was shot and killed at the Grand Gateway. This is what we mean when we say that white supremacy is violent, according to the director of racial equity for NDN Collective.
