A Philadelphia woman has pleaded guilty in connection to setting fire to two police vehicles during protests in May 2020 following the death of George Floyd by a former Minneapolis police officer. According to CBS 3 Philadelphia, Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal pleaded guilty to lesser charges including interference with government officials as part of a deal with prosecutors. The arson charges will be dismissed.
Blumenthal was seen in various videos during the protest taking a flaming piece of wooden police barricade from the rear window of a police car that was already on fire, then shoving the flaming wood into another police cruiser, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennslyvania.
