A Minnesota man who helped start a fire at a police station in Minneapolis during a protest following the death of George Floyd has been sentenced to four years in jail and fined $12 million.
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit arson last year after admitting to lighting a Molotov cocktail that another individual tossed into the Third Precinct building, which is where the officers involved in the death of Floyd worked. No officers or protesters were injured in the blaze, but the building suffered heavy damage.
“On the night of May 28, 2020, Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction. The arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct put lives at risk and contributed to widespread lawlessness in Minneapolis,” said Acting U.S. Attorney
