Minneapolis, MN (KROC-AM News) - A federal judge today sentenced a Rochester man to 6 1/2 years in prison for an arson conviction stemming from the rioting that followed the death of George Floyd.
36-year-old José Angel Felan was also ordered to pay nearly $40,000 in restitution. Felan entered a guilty plea to a federal arson charge in February. He was accused of setting fire to a Goodwill retail store, the Gordon Parks High School, and the 7 Mile Sportswear store along University Avenue in St. Paul on the night of May 28, 2020.
Felan and his wife were apprehended in Mexico last February and were returned to the United States for prosecution. His wife, 24-year-old Mena Dhaya Yousif was accused of aiding and abetting her husband as he fled to Texas before crossing into Mexico. It was alleged she traveled with Felan and assisted his escape by destroying evidence and providing false information to law enforcement.
Yousif entered a guilty plea last September to a charge of being an accessory after the fact.
