Twenty-year-old Brian Bartels, the man accused of inciting violence and riots in Pittsburgh on Saturday, is in police custody.
Bartels turned himself in at police headquarters Monday. He arrived with an adult male and adult female.
Bartels is facing charges of institutional vandalism, rioting and reckless endangerment. According to police, he’s responsible for breaking the windows out of a Pittsburgh police car against the wishes of peaceful protesters.
After he was arrested, police say they received a call from Bartels’ attorney earlier in the day saying Bartel would turn himself in Monday afternoon. Bartels had no comment as he walked into police headquarters.
His attorney also told KDKA’s Nicole Ford he has no comment.
There was so much destruction downtown after Saturday’s violent demonstration, and police believe Bartels from the Allison Park area helped incite that violence.
Pittsburgh Police provided a photo of him wearing all black with a black bandanna around his face.
Besides Pittsburgh Police, Shaler Police, North Hills SRT and FBI Pittsburgh served a search warrant at a home in Shaler Sunday.
Bartels was not there, but investigators say they found evidence that links him to the protests — guns, spray paint and gloves. Also found during the search warrant execution was the sweatshirt matching the one seen in the video of the protest on Saturday.

A 20 year old is supposed to be an adult.
Lock his a$$ up for years.
He arrived with Mommy and Daddy.
I hope he gets to spend a long time behind bars with men who salivate over a white snowflake like him.
‘Antifa Soy Boy’
Did he bring his special pajamas with him?
They better throw the book at him, or you’re just asking for more of the same.
Nah...More likely, they’ll rape him to death in prison.
Understand, I’m not wishing that for him. Kid needs Jesus.
mom and pop probably escorted him to make sure they had chocolate milk in jail.
Unfortunately for him, he’s going to learn that there’s no downside to “throwing the book” at a white male.
His prosecution will be minimal because it was his first offense
His actions were a blameless prank. /s
“He arrived with an adult male and adult female.”
...that makes 3 adults then. Don’t start with this “he’s only a child” BS!
The Clinton/DNC crime family will cover for him, bail him out. All part of the plan.
SPJNK.
Maybe he can enlighten us regarding how these riots are directed or financed.
Mommy and Daddy raised a real sharp cookie. Maybe they should be indicted as well for the wonderful parenting they provided.
So, less than 48 hours after his 'principled protest', he's lawyered up and meekly marches into the precinct.
Under the watchful unbiased eyes of the Media, who will gladly take his message viral.
What's the over-under on this kid being Antifada?
I’m afraid your right but there could be a wealth of information as far as Antifa links and who all is involved. He’s going to be easy to flip.
