Mississippi: Anti-war protester faces trial

William McLean was standing at the intersection of Hardy Street and U.S. 49 on March 5 holding a sign protesting the war in Iraq.

McLean said a Hattiesburg police officer told him to put down his sign. He said he responded, "What are you going to do if I don't put down my sign? Arrest me?"

He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
