BALTIMORE (AP) — A 20-year-old Baltimore man has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from fires and looting during the unrest after Freddie Gray's death, and to an unrelated assault. Prosecutors announced the plea today. Court documents say Donta Betts tried to set a police car on fire, looted a CVS pharmacy, and set another fire to try to prevent officers from coming inside the pharmacy during a riot on April 27. The CVS was burned down and has become a symbol for the anger that engulfed the city in the wake of Gray's death.
