Biography

Jeanette Wallace, 24, was charged with depredation against U.S. property after the May 30, 2020 protest in Las Vegas, NV (initially decrying George Floyd's death) turned tense. Some demonstrators vandalized buildings and threw bottles, fireworks, and rocks at officers in riot gear; later some gathered at the federal building, kicking and throwing items to gain entry. A federal security guard was threatened. Damage exceeded $70,000. Wallace was identified via facial recognition and Facebook. Sentenced to 36 months federal prison.

The August 6, 2020 federal complaint identifies a Facebook account using January Renee as Wallace’s account. It alleges depredation of federal property during the May 30 Las Vegas protest under 18 U.S.C. 1361 and describes an August 3 residential search and interview. The building-wide damage estimate of $71,335.72 is not an individually adjudicated restitution award. The complaint establishes allegations and identification evidence, not a conviction or a jail-admission date; the later sentence remains separately recorded.
