Bloomington: Michael Baker Jr./I-69 Planning Office Attacked

Witnesses say protesters wearing bandannas over their faces broke a window and wrote graffiti at the I-69 office in Bloomington just after noon Wednesday.

Bloomington police were called to the office at One City Centre at 12:12 p.m. According to the police report, witnesses said about a dozen men and women arrived at the building carrying a “Stop I-69” sign, marched into the building and used chalk to mark up the sidewalk, steps and the inner and outer walls. A chunk of concrete was thrown, reportedly by a protester, breaking out a glass pane in the entry door. The protesters then scattered and were gone by the time police arrived.
