One of the books is alleged to have hit a car, leading to the felony crime of throwing an object onto the freeway with the intent to cause great bodily injury during an immigration protest.

LOS ANGELES — A 42-year-old Los Angeles felon was charged Monday with throwing an object at a vehicle on the Hollywood (101) Freeway during an immigration protest, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

When marchers crossed overpasses of U.S. 101, prosecutors say Martin Richard Torres, 42, climbed onto a freeway sign, vandalized it and threw books at traffic below.

A demonstrator was charged with a felony crime for allegedly throwing objects at cars on 101 Freeway during an immigration protest in Los Angeles last week, officials announced Monday. Kimberly Cheng reports for the KTLA 5 Morning News on Feb 10,
