A group of protesters, some wearing yellow chemical suits and gas masks, disrupted a town hall-style meeting held by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation at the Erie Community Center on Wednesday evening.
Erie police Chief Kim Stewart said that police from Erie and Lafayette responded to the community center, 450 Powers St., at about 6 p.m. and a sergeant and corporal issued a disperse order to the protesters, who remained outside of the community center for a few minutes before leaving.
“There were no arrests and no injuries,” Stewart said, adding that officials decided to close the facility early on Wednesday evening.
Erie police said that the roughly 40 protesters appeared to be from East Boulder County United and Erie Protectors, although there might have been protesters from other groups.
One protester said he was from Boulder County Protectors, a group that earlier this month demonstrated outside of a Boulder home owned by Boulder County Commissioner Elise Jones over allegations that she is “pro-fracking.”
