Activist kicked out of group due to prior arrest

An Omaha activist has been kicked out of his organization after news surfaced of an out-of-state arrest. 

Bear Alexander, whose legal name is Alexander Matthews, has been one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Action Party in Omaha, protesting for social justice — and against the police.

News that he was arrested in New York City came the same day he was due in court in Omaha, to face charges relating to a May protest involving pig parts placed at the Omaha Police Union's headquarters. 

New York City Police arrested Matthews two days ago to face a list of six felony charges, including robbery causing physical injury, assault, strangulation, and grand theft.

As a result of Matthews's absence in Omaha court..the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
