Nine people were arrested Wednesday afternoon in Pasadena after protesting the foreclosure of a La Puente woman’s home.
A group of about 70 people supporting Rose Gudiel and her disabled mother began protesting outside Pasadena City Hall, then moved to a Fannie Mae building nearby. Fannie Mae owns the loan on Gudiel's house.
The building’s management determined that the protesters were being disruptive to business. After several warnings, the crowd dispersed and after a third warning nine people were arrested, said Lt. Pete Hettema of the city’s Police Department.
"Everyone was pretty cooperative," Hettema said. "Obviously, the people in there were attempting to make a statement."
