A Riverside man is now facing federal charges after authorities say he slammed his car through a barrier at March Air Force Base. We have new information tonight as that man was arrested yesterday. Eid Elwir-elwir is being charged with damaging government property. Authorities say the 26-year-old Venezuelan-born US citizen drove his car through a razor-wire barricade at the base and then crashed into a chain-link fence at the entrance on Monday. The FBI says he shouted anti-American slogans at the marine sentries who arrested him, and claimed he was being oppressed because he's a Muslim.
