The event occurred in May, and is just being reported now.

He took a few questions, and the first person to ask a question asserted that the United States and Israel have used terrorism for their own purposes and that, among other things, Israel was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Ross said flatly that's not true, but the man persisted. This reporter was in the back of the room, unable to see the confrontation, but at one point the man told someone else to “take your hands off me.” The man and others apparently moved to the hallway, where more shouting was heard. Police took two people into custody.' <a href="http://www.examiner.net/news/20160511/envoy-cites-trumans-historic-role">http://www.examiner.net/news/20160511/envoy-cites-trumans-historic-role</a></div><br><div>A post on Woolfolk's facebook page (set to public): <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154216652654826">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154216652654826</a></div><br><div>I attempted to search Missouri court documents with several name combinations and was unable to find anything that indicates a current case against either person.
