DENVER—Denver police have forced Occupy protesters to leave an encampment at a downtown park.
Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says four people were arrested Saturday for interfering with police officers who removed illegally pitched tents.
Jackson says police had advised protesters since Wednesday that their tents in Civic Center Park and on a nearby sidewalk were illegal.
Some protesters blocked a nearby street, which riot police quickly cleared. Police officers also doused a bonfire with a fire extinguisher.
Protesters have been marching in Denver for sixth straight Saturdays—with dwindling numbers.
On Friday, protesters who said they were with Occupy Denver tried to disrupt a conservative blogger conference at a downtown hotel. One man was arrested for trespassing.
