The son of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark was arrested in Boston on Saturday night after allegedly painting anti-police slogans on a monument and then assaulting an officer while being taken into custody.
According to a Boston police news release Sunday, 23-year-old Jared Dowell of Melrose, Massachusetts, was arrested during an anti-police protest.
Clark has described Dowell as “non-binary,” and in a tweet Sunday, she referred to him as “Riley” and “my daughter.” The establishment media also described Dowell as Clark’s daughter.
“I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting,” the Massachusetts congresswoman said. “This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process.”

This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process.
