One person appeared to have been still inside the car when the firework went off.The driver, along with a group of onlookers, then assaulted the person who threw the firework back, the Riverside Police Department said in a news release.Investigators used video footage to track down the car and identified 20-years-old Gabriel Castillo of Perris as a suspect, authorities said.Castillo, who was on probation for evading police, was arrested Tuesday at his home and booked&nbsp;on suspicion of an illegal fireworks violation and probation violations. He was being held on $50,000 bail, according to the department.Officials said the incident was one of several involving fireworks at the largely peaceful protest that day, including&nbsp;instances where large commercial-grade fireworks were thrown at officers and among crowds of people.“Once the peaceful&nbsp;protesters began to leave, a sizable group of rioters remained to cause&nbsp;disruption, destruction, and harm to our city,” officials said in the news release. “There were numerous acts of vandalism and several businesses were either looted or attempts&nbsp;made.”Detectives are also trying to track down and arrest other people seen on vandalizing property, trying to get into ATMs and breaking into and looting a T-mobile store in the same downtown area.One of the clips shows a man smashing windows at the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office building.Police said the incidents combined resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in damages and theft.Anyone with information can call Riverside police Detective Paul Miranda at 951-353-7119 or email him at&nbsp;.&nbsp;Suggest a CorrectionThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
