ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Democratic Party says that one of the people accused of damaging a Ferguson Police Department fence moments before a police officer was critically injured has agreed to withdraw as an uncommitted alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Keith Rose was charged with first-degree property damage. He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he will fight the charge. Hundreds gathered in Ferguson Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death. Late Friday, some protesters damaged the fence. Officer Travis Brown was injured as he tried to make arrests. Elijah Gantt is charged in the assault. Rose also serves on the a civilian board that reviews police complaints in St. Louis, and some aldermen want him removed.
