UNC officials have identified the three individuals who were arrested during opposing rallies Thursday night around where the Confederate monument known as Silent Sam was pulled down last week.

A heavy police presence attempted to keep the two groups separated on Thursday night. After the group organizing a “twilight service” honoring Silent Sam left the area, opponents of the monument remained around the statue.

There were several tense moments after the majority of the Silent Sam supporters left the area. Opponents of the Confederate monument focused chants at police the remainder of the evening, after an officer used pepper fogger on at least two occasions to disperse the crowd.

Three individuals were arrested on Thursday night, bringing the total to 17 arrests over the course of the multiple rallies since the statue was toppled. UNC Police identified those arrested Thursday as 25-year-old Cammy Lee Morgan, 24-year-old Shannon Maclaughlin and 23-year-old Mary Frances Rosen. All three were charged with resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer.

None of the three who were arrested Thursday night are affiliated with the university, according to campus officials.

Arrests reports were released Thursday night for three individuals who were arrested in connection with previous rallies, and all three appear to be students at UNC – Chapel Hill, according to their arrest reports.

Documents show that 18-year-old Margarita Sitterson was arrested on misdemeanor charges of defacing a public monument in connection with Monday’s rally where the statue was toppled. The university said it could not confirm or deny whether Sitterson was related to the former UNC – Chapel Hill Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson, but multiple outlets are reporting that they have confirmed the recently arrested Sitterson is the granddaughter of the former chancellor.

Arrest reports also show 20-year-old Michael Mole and 23-year-old Timothy Osborne are facing charges for affray.

Both Sitterson and Osborne are listed as students at UNC – Chapel Hill on their arrest reports. While Mole’s report does not list his employment as “student,” it lists his address as being a residence hall on campus.

Mole and Osborne were charged in connection with an event on Saturday where opposing groups gathered on McCorkle Place for roughly five hours.
