[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had to make new arrangements for his Tuesday-morning news conference in Jacksonville after a handful of people protested and refused to leave the Duval County Department of Health building.

Northside Coalition of Jacksonville community leader Ben Frazier was detained by officers after being warned he was trespassing if he wouldn't leave as asked. He was handcuffed and escorted from his motorized wheelchair to a patrol vehicle.

The news briefing had been planned for 10:15 a.m. with DeSantis, Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Simone Marstiller and Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie.

Additional officers were called to the briefing location at the Health Department on North Davis Street after Frazier decried DeSantis' stance on COVID-19 measures and said he's been missing in action for the last month.
