"I woke up in a homeless shelter down the street and just came over here," said Brandon Smith, 22. "I was just walking and trying to get on the light rail and they were like, 'Free pizza.' I went over there and took a little nap." Smith was arrested along with more than 40 other protesters participating in the Occupy Phoenix protests early in October 2011.
