Sioux Falls Riot

An eighth person has been arrested in connection with events that transpired at the riot outside the Empire Mall on May 31.

Seven people now charged in Sioux Falls riot.

A pair of arrests were made on Wednesday in connection with the riot and looting that took place in the vicinity of the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls.

After a perfectly peaceful march and protest in Sioux Falls on Sunday, chaos broke out when the crowd eventually gathered at the Empire Mall. Windows were broken, rocks were hurled at police, and property was stolen. Now the law is starting to catch up to those who went wild.

What started as a peaceful protest in Sioux Falls turned into violence, rioting, and the South Dakota National Guard being deployed. There is a curfew in effect for the city.
