Four arrested at Maine military recruiting center

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine—Four Harvard University students are facing charges for refusing to leave a military recruiting center in South Portland where they were protesting the military's don't ask-don't tell policy.

Police say between 20 and 30 people were inside and outside the recruiting center when they were called Wednesday morning. When police told the group to leave, four people refused and were charged with criminal trespassing.

Jacob Reitan, one of the students who was arrested, says he tried sign up for the Army but didn't want to hide the fact that he is gay. He says the military needs to change its policy.
