Authorities have detained at least eight individuals following a Turning Point USA event at the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday.

Among those arrested were four university students, as reported by The Daily Californian. The publication did not disclose the names of the suspects, describing them only as women aged between 20 and 22. They are facing charges of felony vandalism.

Records from Santa Rita County Jail indicate that four women matching these descriptions were apprehended on Monday. Although Fox News Digital is awaiting official confirmation of their identities, Dan Mogulof, UC Berkeley’s Assistant Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs, has verified the arrests.

Mogulof informed Fox News Digital that the arrests occurred in the early hours of Monday morning.

The report suggests that the students were detained while attempting to hang a “five-foot-tall cardboard bug” from Sather Gate, a historic site on the UC Berkeley campus, as a form of protest against the event.

In California, causing more than $400 in property damage constitutes felony vandalism.

The Turning Point event featured actor Rob Schneider and author Frank Turek, a Christian mentor of the organization’s late founder Charlie Kirk. Left-wing agitators swarmed Zellerbach Hall where the event, which was the last stop on the “This is the Turning Point” tour, was held.

At around 4:30 p.m. local time, a brawl broke out off campus between a man who appeared to support Turning Point, and a rival agitator.

The Berkeley Police Department told Fox News Digital on Monday night that at least two people had been arrested as of 6 p.m. local time.

“I do not have the specific details of what the arrests were for,” the police spokesperson said. “At this point, I can share that one of the parties was arrested for battery.”

Mogulof also confirmed the two arrests stemming from the melee. 

Mogulof also told Fox News Digital that two more people were arrested for alleged nonviolent offenses, though it is unclear whether they are students at the school. 

“As far as I know preliminarily, there was no violence involved,” he said. “They were people who were refusing to follow the orders of police in terms of moving away from a barricade or not blocking an entrance.” 

Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, sparking an explosion of interest in Turning Point among high school and college students nationwide.

In response, Kirk and Turning Point’s detractors have viciously opposed the group, and often mocked Kirk’s death.
