Bullock, who says he was friends with Freddie Gray, was later charged with eight counts of rioting and malicious destruction of property.
"It was crazy, for real. It really happened too fast. I've seen a lot in like two days, a day," said Bullock.
"I think they were trying to make an example. That was just ridiculous," Bullock's mother, Bobbie Smallwood, said last year.
Allen Bullock has served time behind bars before–as a juvenile.
