The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah provided this photograph, allegedly of Airman 1st Class Larry Williams wearing an Air Force-provided gas mask during a protest in Salt Lake City May 30. Markings on the gas mask allowed authorities to trace the photograph to Williams, the Justice Department said. (Justice Department)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An active duty airman from Hill AFB has run afoul of the law. Ironic because he’s a cop in the Air Force.<\/p>\n

Airman 1st Class Larry Raynold Williams Jr., 22, was arrested at his home Wednesday morning by the FBI and members of the FBI\u2019s Joint Terrorism Task Force, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Utah said in a release later that day. He faces a federal arson charge. He was charged with one count of using fire and explosive devices to damage a Salt Lake City Police Department patrol car.<\/p>\n

That car was flipped and burned by a group of protesters that day. Five people so far, including Williams, have been charged with burning that police car, Justice Department officials said.<\/p>\n

Williams was allegedly photographed wearing his Air Force-issued training gas mask when he took part in the protest-turned-riot, Justice officials said, which helped lead to his identification by authorities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This guy’s no genius;<\/p>\n

Williams was photographed wearing a black gas mask near the car and holding a large piece of white fabric, like a tablecloth or bedsheet, the officials alleged. Another indicted person, Christopher Rojas, allegedly lit the fabric with a cigarette lighter, the release said, and Williams allegedly threw the burning fabric into the overturned car\u2019s window. It partly landed inside the car, and partially outside on the street.<\/p>\n

Investigators identified the gas mask Williams was allegedly photographed wearing as a M50 Joint Service General Protective Mask. When photographs of the gas mask were clarified, the release said, it showed markings consistent with those from Hill, including \u201cTRNG ONLY\u201d written in white marker on the mask\u2019s attached M61 filter canister. A lot number could also be seen on the canister, Justice officials said.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 13, the readiness squadron at Hill conducted a general inventory check of the equipment issued to Williams and members of his group during an exercise, including documenting the serial and lot numbers of each piece of equipment. Justice officials said the lot number for one of the gas canisters assigned to Williams matched the number on the canister in the photographs.<\/p>\n

The release said that Williams was also observed unmasked during the demonstration, and that several photographs were used to identify him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
