Bourne, 56, was released from Sonoma County custody Tuesday evening, according to jail records.
Bourne was arrested Tuesday outside Sonoma Valley High School during a protest over a new policy that required the removal of the school’s Pride flag, according to the Sonoma Index-Tribune. The rainbow flag had flown at the school since 2019.
A call to Bourne’s attorney, Jesse Franklin-Murdock, was not immediately returned Wednesday morning.
Dozens of Sonoma Valley students joined hundreds of demonstrators who gathered outside the school to protest the policy and show support for Sonoma’s LGBTQ community. Pride flags lined Broadway in front of the campus.
The 90-minute rally was largely peaceful, the Sonoma paper reported, until Bourne, carrying a sign that read “Gender clinics harm children,” walked among student protesters gathered on a sidewalk in front of the high school.
Bourne and others not affiliated with Sonoma Valley High School were not permitted to walk on the sidewalk in front of the campus, considered school property, the Index-Tribune reported. Someone tried to pull the sign away from Bourne. As the two struggled over the sign, Sonoma police officers escorted Bourne off school grounds.
Bourne continued to try to rejoin the students, the newspaper said, before she was arrested by Sonoma police on suspicion of trespassing.

The arrest was the latest legal trouble for Bourne, who chairs the Yolo County chapter of Moms for Liberty and is running for a seat on the Davis Joint Unified School District board.
Bourne has been a frequent critic of school policies involving transgender students. She drew widespread attention in 2025 when she disrobed during a school board meeting while questioning the district’s transgender policies.
A Yolo Superior Court judge in September ordered Bourne to remove two social media videos showing a child protected by a Davis parent’s civil restraining order filed in June.
The court order concerned videos Bourne posted showing parent Jessica Murray’s daycare provider at a local park with Murray’s children playing in the background.
Murray alleged that Bourne posted videos, threatened to repost more videos and “liked” the disputed content, prompting online comments that Murray said threatened her, her children and their day care.
Bourne faces an Oct. 19 arraignment on two misdemeanor charges in Yolo Superior Court in Woodland alleging she violated a June court order concerning the social media posts.
