Biography
Brandon Robinson, a bystander waiting to enter a friend’s apartment, was swept into the July 2022 Akron protest arrests and held at Summit County Jail until a July 5 arraignment and release.
The individual narrative reports an early-morning July 3 arrest and July 5 arraignment and release, while the complaint’s broader chronology places the mass arrests after midnight on July 4. The reported individual July 3 date is retained as disputed; no exact total is calculated from these conflicting dates. It says he was acquitted of riot and failure to disperse by May 2023, with misconduct at emergency dismissed. His prosecution continued after release; it was not additional jail time.
The allegations are attributed to plaintiffs’ June 29, 2023 civil complaint; they are not findings that the defendants are liable. Source: Harris et al. v. City of Akron, No. 5:23-cv-01290, complaint, PDF pages 39, 40, 41. This historical source does not establish present custody status.
