City prosecutors charged a Los Angeles man with a misdemeanor for failing to heed police orders to disperse as hundreds of people converged on Hollywood last month during the premiere of a documentary on the Electric Daisy Carnival.
Noel Stephen Buller, who is on probation after an April conviction of defrauding an innkeeper, now faces one count of remaining at the scene of a riot, said Frank Mateljan, spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office.

Buller is the first person charged in connection with the disturbance and faces a maximum jail sentence of up to six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine if convicted. He is scheduled to appear in court August 18 for arraignment.
