A second person is facing charges for an Occupy Portland protest that led police to use pepper spray.

The Anti-Austerity rally at Holladay Park drew several hundred people, but it turned into a march through the streets of northeast Portland. Police said the group did not have a permit to march and the protesters were breaking the law.
At least one person was arrested at the time and about 24 people were pepper-sprayed.
After reviewing evidence collected during the protest, officers made a second arrest in the case Nov. 9.
