The mystery donor who distributed war time masks to protesters during the Los Angeles riots has been arrested.
Alejandro Theodoro Orellana faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders after he allegedly distributed tactical gear to suspected rioters on Tuesday.
He was taken into custody by FBI agents Thursday morning, US Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed.
Shocking video recorded during a local Fox broadcast Tuesday showed dozens of demonstrators rushing towards a Ford F-150 as a woman in the truck bed passed out gas masks and riot shields.
Orellana is suspected to have been driving the truck at that time.
Law enforcement are 'moving quickly' to identify and arrest all individuals involved in 'organizing or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles', Essayli said.
Orellana and an unidentified woman were caught on camera dispersing tactical gear to a large crowd of demonstrators near the federal buildings in downtown LA.
The woman passed out 'bionic shield' branded gas masks and riot shields from the truck as the National Guard was stationed nearby.
Orellana and the woman appeared to be travelling in a group of masked individuals.

"Alejandro Theodoro Orellana faces a charge ..."
I wonder if he is legal? Either way he looks pissed in the back of that police car.
Looks like the face of a guy that may know he’s won a trip to El Salvador.
Hope they find out who funded this.
South Sudan would be better.
Did he come in the last 4 YEARS???
Was the WOMAN arrested also??? She should be!
Conspiracy rap, who provided materials, who sent him?
“Hope they find out who funded this.”
Or find out which military base he stole them from?
Who funded it?
U. S. Taxpayers. USAID.
Parachute him into IRGC headquarters dressed in a shirt that reads, ‘I love Trump!’ in Farsi.
RICO MAYBE!!
Shamed? How about raided, investigated, incarcerated and charged with conspiracy, terrorism, extortion, attempted murder and a bunch of other things. When you have no more use for him send him to El Salvador.
"We are all ... Alex ... (psst - what's his name? How do you pronounce it? What are his pronouns?)
His FA insurrection days may be over..
.....
May his FO days begin
I’m still waiting on anything from the magical appearance of pallets of bricks and concrete blocks across the city. There are traffic cameras everywhere. Trucks full of bricks and blocks cannot be difficult to spot, and license plates to see.
A quick check on the interwebs shows that Uvex Bionic Face Shields sell for $60-$65 each.
Of course, Government left-wing NGO’s may be able to get discounts on large volume purchases.
Regardless, this thug is not handing out truck-loads of these on his own dime. Someone is paying for them...
I thought camo was for hunting or military exercises.
Cartel funded
It is.
His mission was a "military" exercise.
