No. OK, I can see what you’re thinking, but ask yourself the critical question:
What arrest-worthy action did she do?

The police are in a crowd. The situation is tense as there are a LOT of people, they are in two opposed camps. You’ve received at least one “concerned citizen” statement, and there’s been some yelling going on.

It goes further than that. The police had actively cordoned off the two camps. Paul supporters were to be on one side of the street, Conway supporters on the other.

Crossing the police lines and going into the other side, against public safety orders, constitutes disturbance of the peace and incite to riot at minimum. Either of those is arrest-worthy just to start.
