(WWJ) The driver of the Trump Unity Bridge truck has been arrested by Detroit Police, and the vehicle impounded.
It happened Friday, as Rob Cortis -- who has owned the "bridge" since 1985 -- arrived in downtown Detroit where Trump supporters were converging on the TCF Center for an election protest.
WWJ's Vickie Thomas said Cortis was taken into custody by officers on an outstanding warrant out of Canton, Michigan, on a charge of disturbing the peace, and for having an invalid license plate.
Police stopped Cortis on Wednesday, and told him not to come back to Detroit until he got a valid plate. He left at that time, but came back Friday.
The Unity Bridge for years has been a well-known sight in Michigan and at pro-Trump events and protests all around the country.
Following Cortis' arrest, people at the protest were collecting money in a hat to bail him out.
