Charleston City Council will be briefed about Friday night's curfew compliance during a meeting on Saturday morning.

A teleconference meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.  Council members expect to discuss whether Mayor John Tecklenburg will impose a curfew on Saturday night. 

A curfew was in place Friday night on the peninsula only. The curfew starts at 9 p.m. and will end Saturday at 6 a.m. 

Friday marked the seventh day of protests in the city. After a riot broke out Saturday night, the city and county set a curfew for three days in a row. 

Protests during the week were peaceful and scattered across the peninsula. Some took place in North Charleston and Summerville as well.
