Also arrested were Robert Oates, 19, of Redondo Beach and David Mauk, 19, of Tustin, who both were booked on suspicion of felony arson and misdemeanor rioting, and Gary Rycraft, 21, of Fountain Valley, who was booked on suspicion of felony arson and theft and misdemeanor rioting.

Their arrests brought to eight the number of adults picked up by police over the last two days. Bonkowski said a ninth adult and three juveniles were still being sought.

A total of 30 people have been arrested, including 13 taken into custody on the day of the Aug. 31 melee, which left 40 people injured, police cars smashed and set afire, and other city property vandalized.
