RAYSHARD GALPAL CHARGED AS ATLANTA FIREBUG!

WENDY’S WAS TORCHED DURING PROTESTS OVER POLICE KILLING

-

DEPUTIES have nabbed a suspected firebug accused of torching an Atlanta Wendy’s after Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot by a cop outside the fast-food restaurant — and her lawyer said she’s the victim’s girlfriend! Natalie White, 29, was arrested in connection with the blaze that burned the eatery to the ground on

June 13, a day after 27-year-old Brooks — a married father of four — was gunned down by white police officer Garrett Rolfe, who’s since been charged with felony murder.

Brooks’ death sparked violent protests across the city, and Fire Chief Randall Slaughter said “hundreds” of demonstrat­ors in the area temporaril­y blocked units from reaching the burning building and threw bricks and other materials at the smoke eaters!

Officials said the inferno started in multiple locations and was ignited by numerous incendiary methods and devices.

As The National ENQUIRER reported in the July 6 issue, authoritie­s were desperatel­y trying to determine if the violence was part of an organized effort to bring down the government and destroy the United States. Investigat­ors did not cite White as being a member of any organized group — but a second female suspect remains at large.

Her attorney Drew Findling told the New York Post his client was Brooks’ “girlfriend” and also insisted White, who was released on $10,000 bond to house arrest, had nothing to do with the blaze.

Atlanta Fire Sgt. Cortez Stafford said more suspects could be involved and added, “We take arson very seriously.”
