TRENTON — A city man has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for his actions during a riot in May 2020.

Kadeem Dockery, 31, is the last of four individuals sentenced in connection with the protest.

Demonstrations in response to George Floyd's death were peaceful during the day, but violence erupted later on. A group of individuals began to riot down East State Street, looting stores, and attacking multiple marked Trenton Police Department vehicles.
