Raymon Carter, who police say set fire to a West Baltimore CVS store during the riots following Freddie Gray's death, was arrested Wednesday, according to police.

Carter, 24, is charged with federal arson violations, police and federal authorities said at a news conference.

Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said Carter's actions April 27 caused more than $1 million worth of damage.

"Raymon Carter burned a CVS — our CVS — to the ground. The very same CVS that people who live in that neighborhood relied on for their medication, for their food, for toiletries in that community," Batts said. "He is a criminal that took advantage of our city when we were most vulnerable."
