Rioter who helped set fire to MN police station fined $12 million, gets prison time
The 23-year-old rioter who helped set fire to a Minneapolis police station during the George Floyd riots last May has been ordered to pay $12 million and was sentenced to four years in federal prison.
According to the Department of Justice, Dylan Shakespeare Robinson pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson, resulting in the hefty $12 million fine that will pay for damages caused by the fire.
The fine will be required to be paid after Robinson serves his prison sentence, but his attorney has said “there is no realistic chance” his client will be able to pay the fine.
“The danger posed by the defendant, in this case, was very real,” said Michael Paul, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis field office, in a statement released by the Department of Justice. “Today’s sentencing sends a clear message — regardless of motivation, when someone is intent on conducting a violent act that breaks federal law, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will move assertively to hold them accountable. This type of behavior puts public servants and our entire community in danger, and we simply will not let it go unaddressed.”
