When arriving at the Federal Protection Service (FPS) holding cell, Guzman allegedly told police, “Man you got me, I knew I should have ran,” according to court documents.

The arrest happened after demonstrators throughout the week got close to law enforcement, ridiculing and taunting them.

Officers held their line for hours before the arrest took place.
