Three individuals were taken into custody by Colorado Springs police following a disturbance at a special City Council meeting concerning the proposed Project Taurus Data Center. The incident, which occurred during a public appeals hearing, involved a woman who began yelling with a megaphone after missing her turn to speak.

Police officers intervened when the woman refused to sit down, leading to an escalation where she stood between officers before being escorted out of the building. The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) later confirmed that three people were in custody due to the disturbance.
