GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A 21-year-old woman appeared for video arraignment Tuesday on charges stemming from the May 30-31 riot in downtown Grand Rapids that left scores of businesses damaged.

Also facing charges is 18-year-old Omar Suarez-Landero, of Wyoming.
He’s accused of riot and breaking into Sundance Grill & Bar at 151 Ottawa Avenue NW. Suarez-Landero has a court appearance set for June 30 on the two felony charges.
His co-defendant is Olivia Marie Hull. Hull, 23, was arraigned June 9 on three charges, including riot and breaking and entering. She also has a preliminary exam scheduled for June 30.
