A Baltimore man who pleaded guilty to setting fire to a local CVS store during a riot has been sentenced to four years in prison.
Raymon Carter, 24, also was ordered to pay restitution of $500,000. Carter was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Baltimore, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release. Carter pleaded guilty to rioting in August.
Carter's court-appointed attorney did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on Carter's ability to pay restitution.
After the CVS in the Penn North neighborhood was broken into on April 27, video footage shows Carter trying to move, then open, a pharmaceutical safe, authorities said. Footage also shows Carter starting a fire in the store. It caused $1.1 million in damage.
The rioting came after Freddie Gray died from a spinal injury he suffered in the back of a police van.
