DEWITT -- Twenty-eight protestors were arrested at Hancock Air Base in DeWitt Sunday.

Sheriff's deputies say about 150 protestors tried to gather at the base to protest the military's use of unmanned drones in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Authorities say protestors did not have a permit to gather there.

Deputies say the protestors were given the option to disperse before they were arrested.
