SYRACUSE (AP) -- Tuesday was a long night in Town of Dewitt Court.

More than 30 protesters who were arrested during a demonstration at Hancock Air National Guard Base faced a judge. They were all given a chance to speak to the court.

The  protesters were charged with minor violations during the demonstration. The Syracuse base is a hub for controlling Reaper drones in combat overseas.

Protesters are accused of disorderly conduct.
