Arrests Made at Anti-Vax Protest at Gov. McKee’s House

A protest outside of Governor Dan McKee's home in Cumberland by anti-vaxxers protesting vaccination mandates turned into a conflict with about a dozen members of the Rhode Island States Police Friday night. 

McKee’s office refused comment.

“We are deferring to the Rhode Island State Police for any comment on the situation outside the Governor’s home last night,” said Alana Cerrone O’Hare. She is the daughter of McKee political donor and former car dealer Al Cerrone.
