St. Louis, MO – A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a July fireworks incident that prompted a Bomb and Arson investigation by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD).
According to police, a social media video circulated earlier this summer showing a man allegedly throwing fireworks at people and property in downtown St. Louis. Officials described the behavior as “dangerous and intolerable” for the community.
SLMPD Intelligence detectives, Bomb and Arson investigators, the U.S. Marshals Task Force, and the Department of Homeland Security Task Force worked together to locate and arrest the suspect earlier Monday morning.
The Circuit Attorney’s Office has issued two felony charges, including Promoting Civil Disorder and Armed Criminal Action.
Police emphasized that such acts not only endanger lives but also strain emergency response resources in busy urban areas. The department thanked the public for sharing information that assisted the investigation.
No injuries were reported during the July incident, though the fireworks caused property damage near entertainment venues downtown, authorities said.
