A years-long dispute resulted in an arrest and a press conference held by civil rights activists.
woman says she was wrongfully arrested after trying to remove a neighbor's Confederate flag from her parents' property.
"If this was solely on to his property we would not be here today," says civil rights attorney Randall Kallinen. "Not only is it right over there on the fence line, but it leans on over to the property of these people that Rosie's trying to take care of."Yanas says she has tried for years to get the neighbor to move the flag back over towards his side of the fence but claims he harasses her about it and intentionally flies it on the weekends to make sure they all see it.
"I was tired of all this," says Yanas. "I don't have time to be dealing with him, and dealing with my parents, and dealing with my own life." "Anybody has the right to fly any kind of flag they want to fly," says the flag owner's brother, Ronny Turrentine. "If I want to show a flag out of my house that says kiss my a**, I have a right to do that."
