Struck a Sheriff with a Flagpole

Summarized by Grok:

Rann Baron, a 36-year-old lecturer from Duke University, was arrested during a Confederate Memorial Day rally in Alamance County, North Carolina. Baron was charged with felony assault on a law enforcement officer and misdemeanor injury to personal property. The incident occurred when Baron was attempting to destroy a flag that had been set up by a pro-Confederate group, Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County (ACTBAC). When a sheriff intervened to retrieve the flag, Baron allegedly struck the sheriff with the flagpole, leading to a struggle between other officers and rally members. Duke University confirmed that Baron was employed at the school but did not comment on his arrest.
