Man Sentenced To Nearly 9 Years In Prison For Torching Store During 2020 BLM Riots
A 29-year-old Illinois man was sentenced Tuesday to nearly nine years in federal prison for setting fire to a cell phone store in Minneapolis during the riots in 2020.
The sentencing is the latest stemming from riots that unfolded in Minneapolis after the killing of George Floyd in police custody there on Memorial Day in 2020.
They include four men who received prison sentences for helping set fire to a police precinct in the city, another man who was sentenced to six years in jail for torching an Enterprise Rent-A-Car building in St. Paul, and another man who was sentenced to 37 months in prison for setting on fire a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Minneapolis.
Good news. Hope they are in for their full term of their sentences.
