An affidavit says after Fuller was arrested, police showed him a photograph of the person throwing the flares. The affidavit says Fuller told police, “I saw that online and knew I was (expletive).”
Feller is one of about two dozen people arrested in connection with the protest, which police deemed a riot and shut down after protesters set fires, smashed windows and spray-painted businesses.
Most protesters arrested during the march were released from custody Tuesday and are awaiting charges.
