Before Mooney, Presiding Judge, and Kamins, Judge, and DeVore, Senior Judge.* PER CURIAM Reversed and remanded. ______________ * Kamins, J., vice DeHoog, J. pro tempore. Cite as 319 Or App 426 (2022) 427 PER CURIAM The juvenile court found youth within its jurisdiction for conduct that, if committed by an adult, would constitute riot. ORS 166.015 (“A person commits the crime of riot if while participating with five or more other persons the person engages in tumultuous and violent conduct and thereby intentionally or recklessly creates a grave risk of causing public alarm.”). Youth assigns error to the juvenile court’s determination that no culpable mental state applies to the element of “participating with five or more other persons.” In light of subsequent case law, the juvenile court erred. The element is material and necessarily requires a culpable mental state. See State v. Owen, 369 Or 288, 310, 505 P3d 953 (2022); State v. Prophet, 318 Or App 330, 342, ___ P3d ___ (2022). Reversed and remanded.
