NEW YORK — Federal authorities arrested a man Saturday they say supplied glass bottles to a woman charged with hurling a Molotov cocktail at an occupied New York City police vehicle during unrest after George Floyd's death.
Amerman, 29, of Saugerties, New York, said he also gave Shader masks, rope, plastic baggies, marijuana and $10 in gas money, and that she took a hammer from his tool bucket, according to prosecutors. A bystander who was recording video of the incident picked up the bottle and gave it to police, prosecutors said. It was an old Bulleit bourbon bottle. Amerman, who works as a painter, told investigators that’s his preferred brand of bourbon, prosecutors said.
In an interview with law enforcement agents, prosecutors said Shader admitted throwing the Molotov cocktail, but falsely claimed she was given the bottle by a Black man she encountered on the street.Authorities learned it was Amerman who allegedly supplied the bottles from a note left inside the car that Shader took to meet a friend so they could carpool to the protest, prosecutors said.
