MINNEAPOLIS – An Illinois man who live-streamed his riot trip to Minneapolis last summer, including filming a portion of his role in burning down a Sprint store, pleaded guilty in Minnesota U.S. District Court Wednesday to one count of aiding and abetting arson.
Matthew Rupert, of Galesburg, Ill., was the first person to be charged with federal crimes for participating in the looting and arson that took place after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. He was originally charged with counts of civil disorder and riot as well, but the U.S. Attorney s Office dropped all but the arson charge as part of a plea agreement.
