TAMPA, Fla. - A man staying at a tent inside a makeshift protest camp has been arrested and charged with armed battery on another man in the camp.
Tampa Police say 24-year-old Dante M. Sea was charged with aggravated battery Tuesday after he hit 60-year-old Eddie Thomas and broke Thomas' jaw.
Police say Thomas was staying in a shed in back of a military surplus store and Sea was sleeping in a tent on the same property. It's where Republican National Convention protesters have been staying and protesters have dubbed it "Romneyville."
