Tito was arrested after having arranged to disrupt a meeting of the Yugoslav Social-Democratic Party on May Day that year. In a melee outside the venue, Tito was apprehended by the police. They failed to identify him, charging him under his false name for a breach of the peace. He was imprisoned for 14 days and then released, returning to his previous activities. The police eventually tracked him down with the help of a police informer. He was reportedly ill-treated and held for three months before being tried in court in November 1928 for his illegal activities. He was convicted and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Tito would go on to lead the Yugoslav Partisans during World War II and later serve as the president of Yugoslavia from 14 January 1953 until his death on 4 May 1980.
