14-year-old charged with felony after throwing rocks at police in Trump rally

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The 14-year-old accused of throwing a rock at officers during the riot followingDonald Trump’s Albuquerque rally has been charged with aggravated battery on a peace officer but his defense attorney says the charge is too much.

After the dust settled from the riot following Donald Trump’s Albuquerque speech, the search was on, for 30 suspects the Albuquerque Police Department says targeted their officers. So far they’ve arrested three, including 14-year-old Marcus Griego.


“The commander actually witnessed Marcus throw a rock directly and hit the sergeant that was standing next to him,” said APD Spokesperson Celina Espinoza.

APD says a picture of Griego was taken after the rock was thrown and that officers confronted him.

Espinoza said, “My understand is that Marcus kinda laughed it off and kinda just pretended it wasn’t a big deal.”

Ohhhh it takes a cop to get hit but when they stand by and watch a poor woman get barraged and hit in the face the union cops in california turn a Blind Eye.

This person enjoys handling rocks? While he is in detention, lets give him a pile of large rocks, a hammer and a jug of water. When the large rocks are small rocks, he can have supper. Justice!

14 years old and throwing rocks at anyone is not acceptable, and at a police officer is outrageous! He should be placed on some type of hardcore community service for 18 months, at the very minimum. What would have happened had he hit the officer in the temple and killed him? Murder charges as an adult, and nothing less.

Why on earth is there a 14 year old or any kid who can not legally vote at these rally's? I do not understand the point of them being there...

I see that the one paper said he is a Mulatto, and was told to do it.
