(Fargo, ND) -- A man charged in connection with unrest in Fargo two years ago connected to George Floyd's death is now sentenced.

Court records show 25-year-old Patrick Porter was given house arrest and probation Monday on charges of causing vandalism and destruction and threatening violence back in 2020. Porter was seen throwing chunks of concrete at officers during the May 30th riot and was caught on video painting an anti police slogan outside a building on First Avenue North.

He was also captured on video looting bottles of beer and smashing a window at JL Beers.
