New London — The protest of an alleged white supremacist working at a Bank Street eatery led to one arrest Saturday.

More than a dozen protesters converged on the sidewalk outside Dev’s on Bank at 463 Bank St., waving signs to passers-by and handing out flyers asking for a boycott of the restaurant. The man depicted as a Nazi in the flyer, who allegedly works as a cook at Dev’s, faced charges in 2015 for allegedly yelling obscenities and anti-Semitic remarks at a member of Congregation Beth El.

Police were called to the restaurant shortly after 6 p.m. for reports of a disturbance. One of the protesters, Christopher Garaffa, 33, of New Haven, was charged with breach of peace in an altercation with one of Dev’s employees.

Details of the altercation were not immediately available.

Restaurant co-owner Candace Devendittis declined any comment and did not confirm the man at the center of the protest worked there.

It was the second such demonstration at the restaurant. A group gathered outside Dev's on June 2 and was told to leave by police. Police Chief Peter Reichard has said the group has a First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and pass out leaflets that are not offensive.

A city permit is required for a gathering of 10 or more people on the sidewalk or in other city-controlled public places. An officer may tell a demonstration to disperse once a complaint has been made and the complaint has shown probable cause that a crime has taken place, Reichard said.

The protesters at Saturday’s gathering moved across the street at the request of police officers at the scene.
