ST. LOUIS • A coalition of Occupy St. Louis protesters, including a handful of area labor leaders, were arrested Thursday after blocking the eastbound entrance to the Martin Luther King Bridge.

St. Louis police said 14 people were taken into custody.

The local acts of civil disobedience were part of a day of protests across the nation stemming from the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The arrests here were peaceful, with several protesters engaging authorities in playful banter as the protesters were escorted in plastic handcuffs to nearby police vans.

The action at the bridge ended a march that began with a 3 p.m. rally at Kiener Plaza.

About 800 people, bolstered by representatives of the Teamsters, United Auto Workers, Service Employees International and other unions, participated in the rally and the subsequent march north through downtown.
