A single case may have hundreds of pages of police reports and witness statements, plus video evidence and audio recordings to review, the office said.
Most of the arrests come from the night of May 30.įiling charges take time because the State Attorney’s Office thoroughly reviews all the evidence for each case. Evidence from an additional 45 felony cases is still being reviewed, so more charges are expected. The defendants’ felony charges include 52 counts of burglary, 13 counts of grand theft, and four counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. 46 more have now been placed under arrest for felonies in connection with the riots and looting from that night.
Last month, an initial set of charges was brought forward against 11 people. Dozens of additional arrests have been made stemming from the looting and ransacking of stores in the Tampa Bay area on May 30.
