The youngest daughter of Rev. Al Sharpton andthe mother of Eric Garnerwere told on Monday that disorderly conductcharges against them would be dismissed in six months if they stayed out of trouble.

Ashley Sharpton and Gwen Carr, whose son's death after being held in a chokehold by a New York policeman in 2014 caused national uproar, were arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for blocking traffic on Fifth Avenue during a Jan. 31 protest of President Donald Trump,according to the New York Post.

The January 31 protest outside of Trump Tower was respondingto the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to join the United States Supreme Court.

Sharpton's daughter said her father agreed with her decision according to the Post.

"He teased me and called me a jail bird but said its our duty," she said.

Carr defended her actions as well, saying, "We cant just stand by and say nothing and let the Trump administration just take advantage of this country."

The Trump Tower protest was organized by theNational Action Network, the civil rights organization founded by Al Sharpton.
