Vanderweide is the fourth individual charged in connection with the violence at Gage Park.
Cedar Hopperton, 33, was arrested for a parole violation for participating in a public demonstration where peace was disrupted, and two individuals, a 32-year-old man and a 35-year-old man, turned themselves into police as a result of breaching probation for participating in a demonstration that was not peaceful.
Police continue to encourage victims and witnesses to come forward to further the investigation, with the possibility of laying additional charges.
