Report 3: Against People (Raymond Castro, Marilyn Fowler, Vincent Depaul)

NYPD_3.150dpi.jpeg

Officer Charles Broughton of the 1st Division arrested Raymond Castro, Marilyn Fowler and Vincent DePaul, charging that they “with each other did shove and kick the officer.”

This is the first time that Fowler and DePaul have been named and documented as rebellion participants.

Fowler’s name is extremely significant, since no other woman’s arrest has so far been documented, and numbers of witnesses attributed the intensification of the riot to the arrest and resistance of an unnamed butch woman.

(Castro is named as a participant in David Carter’s Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution.
