A Pittsburgh man pleaded guilty on Sept. 21 to a charge of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder for damaging then setting a police car on fire during protests over George Floyd’s death in May.
Brian Jordan Bartels, 20, surrendered to police in June after he was captured on video damaging a police car during protests in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 30. He had been accused of spray painting the marked police SUV with the letter “A” and smashing its windshield, federal prosecutors said.
