The indictment charges that on June 1, 2020, Turner conspired with others to maliciously damage and destroy, by means of fire, the 7-Eleven building located at 201 North 17th Street, a building used in interstate commerce.  Among other things, the indictment alleges that the conspirators participated in the destruction and looting of the 7-Eleven building.  The indictment further alleges that Turner poured an ignitable liquid on the 7-Eleven building, ignited a box and threw the box in the building, and that Turner committed other acts.    This offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and or a fine of $250,000.
