Protesters held on $1 million bail after demonstration over Pennsylvania police shooting

---

At least seven protesters who were arrested during demonstrations over a fatal police shooting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, were held on $1 million bail Tuesday. Lancaster police arrested 12 adults and a juvenile overnight Sunday when a crowd of more than 100 people gathered outside the police station to protest the shooting that day of Ricardo Munoz, who prosecutors say had run at an officer with a knife. Police used pepper spray and chemical agents against demonstrators that night.

Police said in a statement, suspects piled street signs, trash cans, a metal dumpster, a metal bike rack, pieces of plywood and a wooden pallet at the intersection of N. Prince St. and W. Chestnut St. The suspects filled the dumpster with additional trash bags as well as the wood and set the contents on fire.

The adults face numerous charges including conspiracy to commit arson, riot, failure to disperse, institutional vandalism and disorderly conduct. Court records were not immediately available for the adults Tuesday. Seven of the adults were held on $1 million bond set by Magisterial District Judge Bruce Roth and four others were still awaiting their arraignments. One of the adults was on probation at the time of his arrest.
