Bondi says FBI has identified man accused of assaulting officer, damaging federal property in LA

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday night announced that the FBI has identified the man that allegedly assaulted a federal officer during rioting in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend.

The FBI previously offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to the man's arrest and conviction. His actions allegedly injured a federal officer in Paramount, California, on Saturday and he allegedly damaged government vehicles.

Bondi told Fox News' Sean Hannity on his program that the FBI is now serving a search warrant for the suspect's house.

"The FBI has identified him," Bondi said. "That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house, as we speak. And he has been identified…his name is Reyes. He is going to be on the Most Wanted list.

"He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI," she continued. "So, you can run, you can’t hide. We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you."

Bondi also vowed to go after rioters who loot during the unrest, or spit on law enforcement officers, claiming both cases would see criminal charges and prison time. Looting will get a maximum sentence of 20 years, she said.

"As President Trump said: ‘You spit, we hit,’" Bondi said. "Get ready. If you spit on a federal law enforcement officer, we are going to charge you with a crime federally. You are looking at up to five years maximum in prison."

The Los Angeles Police Department on Monday announced that at least 50 people have been charged over the riots so far.
