This photo, provided to WGLT by a demonstrator who witnessed the incident, shows the motorcyclist who allegedly drove into the crowd. Authorities say it was Marshall R. Blanchard of Bloomington. A Bloomington man convicted of a hate crime for riding his motorcycle into a crowd of protesters last year was sentenced on Friday to seven years in prison. Marshall Blanchard, 22, pleaded guilty in April to a hate crime and leaving the scene of an accident in connection with an incident in downtown Bloomington. A crowd had gathered to protest the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis when Blanchard rode his motorcycle into the crowd, injuring two victims.
