According to police sources, 21-year-old Sarah Taylor was arrested on Thursday.

Taylor reportedly was first to jump on the cruiser, which then led to its vandalism and destruction after being set on fire.

As GoLocal reported:

Violent riots broke out in Providence early Tuesday morning, with a Providence police cruiser set on fire shortly after midnight.

A video recorded by Nathan Jeffrey showed a large crowd gathered around Providence Place Mall confronting a line of police officers.

At the beginning of the footage, rioters can be seen inciting bystanders to take part in the violence.

Just after the 40-minute mark, a Providence police cruiser is vandalized — then set on fire.
