BALTIMORE — The ATF and the Baltimore Police Department say the man wanted for setting the fire at the CVS Pharmacy on Pennsylvania Avenue, during the April 27 riots has been arrested.

24-year-old Raymon Carter was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon.

Video of the fire was shown worldwide during news coverage of the April riots.

Authorities announced the arrest at a news conference Wednesday evening.

Investigators released surveillance images of Carter in May hoping that the public could help identify him along with other responsible for setting fires at other locations.

Multiple phone calls to the ATF’s tip line identified the man in the photos from the CVS at 2509 Pennsylvania Avenue as Carter, says Special Agent David Cheplak with the Baltimore field office.

If Carter is convicted he could face five to 20 years in prison, Cheplak says.
