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, hes 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 KDKAs Nicole Ford he has no comment.
There was so much destruction downtown after Saturdays 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.

If this pretty boy thinks he can ingratiate himself with his fellow inmates with his I’m in solidarity with you schtick he has another thing coming, in more ways than one.
Nah - too many other bigger fish to fry in this process and he didn’t cross state lines.
If I were a small business owner who had their livelihood trashed in the aftermath; I’d be at least filing a lawsuit against the parents for restitution. It would get tossed immediately; but his parents would know who I am and what and how much damage resulted from their horrible liberal upbringing they gave him.
My son is 20 years old. He’s a petty officer in the US Navy. Different life choices, I guess.

Thanks for the heads up on the bandana!
Feds will still want him in connection with the guns they found at the house they raided, though, won’t they?
I really want this instigator in trouble. It’s about seeking justice and eliminating threats....
Just from his name I can tell this is white anarchist scum. Book him Danno!
As soon as they seize power, these people will be released. If any even see the inside of the jail.
Ref the lawsuit:
Excellent idea.
I have a feeling the father is pissed beyond belief. His body was RED with anger as he walked into the police station. I think he’s furious his son did something so d*amn stupid and vile. (I could be wrong.)
Mommy’s the one who may have been the one to want to be soft on the son.
Time will tell. I’ll admit to being a bit curious about what his parents’ political leanings are/were... I need to google more information.
In the past information like that was of no interest to me. In the last few years with all the twits and twats out there acting up the parents’ political leanings have seemed to make a HUGE impact on the kids and how they view the world, even more than when I was a youngster.
He is white. From Trump to the Democrats to the protesters to the media etc, are all trying to say the only problem is white outsiders. He is from a suburb, he is an “outsider.”
At least they won't get the Corona Virus.
"By exploiting legitimate contempt for white supremacism and neo-Nazism, Antifa disguise their true goal: imposing the kind of society that persecuted Natan Sharansky and his fellow Russian Jews."
The reality is that Judaism, or at least being Jewish, is now very much divided - largely between those religious Jews of the type who would give their lives defending Israel, and those secular Jews who are wed to a pseudo-intellectual world view that still worships Marx. This mindset led to the involvement of many Russian Jews in the Bolshevik movement. I would refer them to the Torah and the story of the Tower of Babel.
It's not just a story of how the world wound up speaking different languages. It's more an example of how having conceit in what you believe are your own intellectual and creative powers (e.g. 'I can reach God by building a tower') is pure unwarranted hubris. The arrogant self-described 'intellectuals' in our society who think that they have the intellectual power to build heaven on Earth (usually through socialism) are the equivalent of the tower builders of Babel.
There was an article posted yesterday where they were identified as his parents.
And Yes he's with his mommy and daddy
I hope they use his case to disprove “white privilege “.
There are 100,000 Antifa people out there that have done the same thing. What is so special about this one?
Arrest them all, and keep them locked up.
He’s from Shayler.....sort of a sleepy little suburb of Pittsburgh.
Was his hair in a bun?
Until I see evidence to the contrary, I feel a certain degree of sympathy for the parents.
If we later learn that they were middle-aged leftists — well, it’s no surprise they raised a rotten kid.
But I’ve certainly known plenty of decent folks whose kids turned out bad. Likewise, I’ve known decent folks who had to overcome a terrible upbringing.
Now hit the whole family with a multi million dollar civil suit while they are at it.

That is how John Q Public, namely store owners can sue him, his parents his teachers. If he makes a deal by turning on his organizers and funders he gets a better deal. This is a group of people who violently took and destroyed other peoples livelihoods. In the old days they were low income doing this but Antifada is well off college kids teachers & lawyers, class action suits could net millions, maybe offset some of the tragic losses. Criminal court is run by the government and if it is DNC or Rino they will let them skate.
