Police Arrest San Francisco Woman At Smart Meter Protest

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- A San Francisco resident attempting to prevent the installation of PG&E smart meters said was arrested Saturday morning during a protest, according to the group Stop Smart Meters.

Amy O'Hair, a Glen Park resident, was sitting on the hood of a Wellington Energy truck and had refused to move when she was arrested, group director Joshua Hart said.

O'Hair is thought to be the first such arrest in San Francisco, Hart said.

San Francisco police did not return a call seeking information on the arrest.
