According to the Post Millennial, police charged Darling with robbery, vandalism and battery for stealing and crushing the cell phone of a man protesting a Drag Queen Story hour event at West Hollywood Library.
Thomas interfered with Darling’s arrest; police subsequently cuffed her as well.
Darling and Thomas insisted the cop’s rampant homophobia was to blame for their arrest.

“The Sheriffs were making fun of [their] booth and the volunteers responded ‘this is why we don’t like cops at pride,” said Twitter user Jordan Davis. “The sheriffs then attacked them and are filing bogus charges.”
Davis also claimed the officers “brutalized” the suspects.
Activists started crowdfunding for Darling’s $100,000 bail not long after his arrest.

Darling also allegedly attended a “Pride Assembly” protest at Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood that turned violent.
The Glendale Unified School District Parents’ Voices group gathered outside of the school to protest LGBT additions to the curriculum.
Fighting broke out between the parents and the Antifa counter-protestors, forcing police to intervene.
Video footage of the event showed an unknown gay activist going after a parent with a bat.
