Cindy Sheehan Arrested?

I'm hearing stories today that a rally Cindy Sheehan was speaking at in New York City was shut down by police and the organizers arrested. Has anyone else heard this?

6. according to sarah ferguson/village voice/this is what happened

Cindy Sheehan may be the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement. But that didn't stop members of the New York Police Department from marching into the crowd of about 150 people gathered in Union Square Monday to hear her speak and yanking away the microphone.
The NYPD pulled the plug just as Sheehan was calling on the audience not to lose heart in the fight to end the war in Iraq.
