Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin is expected to enact a curfew for the City of Raleigh on Monday following the outrage brought by George Floyd's death.
"We are working on the details right now and we will make an announcement between 10 and 11 tomorrow," Baldwin said in an interview with our news partner ABC11. "We have to put the safety of our city first."
The details of the curfew have not been released at this time.
Baldwin made the decision after monitoring the situation in downtown Raleigh.
"I wanted to give them (the protestors) a chance. I'm an optimist, I was hoping for the best and now what we've seen is more destruction downtown," Baldwin said.
Raleigh will be the third city within central North Carolina to issue a curfew, along with Spring Lake and Fayetteville.
