Man Who Attacked Store Owner During Riots Pleads Guilty

BALTIMORE, Md. (WJZ) — A 23-year-old man pleaded guilty Monday to the arson of a Baltimore food market amid the riots and unrest that broke out following the death of Freddie Gray last year, authorities said.

As part of a plea deal, Trevon Green acknowledged instigating the arson of the market located on North Monroe Street, ransacking a liquor store on West North Avenue and then assaulting the store’s owner, according to a news release from the United States Attorney’s Office.

If a judge approves that agreement at his sentencing hearing on Aug. 22, Green will spend 70 months in prison. He will also be ordered to pay back nearly $335,000 in damages.

“Trevon Green was not a protester, he was a criminal who enjoyed committing gratuitous violence,” said U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein in a statement. “He looted a liquor store and kicked the defenseless store owner in the head, then he set fire to a food market.”

There should never be any plea deals made. Charge them and send them to prison. Start being tough.

11:09 Agreed. Never should have been a plea deal. The video alone is enough for a conviction. He will be out in about 3 years and will be back to his thuggery ways.
