A man who admitted to stuffing a burning mannequin inside a police cruiser during the downtown Grand Rapids riot has been sentenced to jail and slapped with a $71,000 bill for restitution.
Ronald Allen Raymond, 38, also was placed on probation for five years.
In addition to rioting and destroying a Wyoming police cruiser, Raymond admitted to stealing a tray of fudge from Kilwins.
Kent County Circuit Court Judge Christina Elmore sentenced Raymond to a year in jail, crediting him with the more than six months he has already spent locked up.
Raymond was homeless at the time of the May 30-31 riot, court records show. During a February hearing, he pleaded guilty to riot, attempted third-degree arson, malicious destruction of police property and entry without breaking.
Fire was set to seven police cruisers during the riot; five belonged to the City of Wyoming.
