Everett man sentenced for stealing police gun in Seattle protest
EVERETT — An Everett man was sentenced to time served Friday for stealing a police gun during racial justice protests in Seattle in 2020.
Jacob Little, now 26, also faces murder charges in connection with a fatal Renton shooting months after the gun theft.
In the days after George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police, mass protests hit downtown Seattle. In the afternoon of May 30, a few of the thousands of protesters destroyed five Seattle police cars. From one, Jacob Little reached through a broken window and grabbed a rifle bag with an M4 rifle, surveillance video reportedly showed.
Security footage showed Little walking away from the police car carrying the big rifle bag, federal prosecutors alleged. On Snapchat, Little also posted a video showing him smashing the front window of a police car.
