Videos/Pics: Teen charged in 'politically motivated attack' against GOP headquarters in Michigan
A 19-year-old has been arrested and charged after allegedly trying to burn down the Dickinson County Republican Party headquarters in Iron Mountain, Michigan, on Saturday with a Molotov cocktail in a 'politically motivated attack.' According to WLUC, 19-year-old Zayn Arcand was arraigned on Monday and has been charged for arson and for the manufacturing and possession of explosives. An Iron Mountain Police Department press release obtained by WLUC indicates that police officials were notified on Sunday regarding a suspicious person outside the Dickinson County Republican Party headquarters who was trying to start a fire with a rag in a bottle. Police officials confirmed that Arcand was identified due to a security camera that showed the 19-year-old throwing a bottle toward the headquarters building. WLUC reported that law enforcement officials arrested Arcand following the incident on Saturday.

Sharing a picture of Arcand and a video of Saturday's incident, Michigan Republican Party Chair Jim Runestad tweeted, 'On Saturday, a liberal Antifa scumbag threw a Molotov cocktail at the Dickinson County Republican County headquarters. Fortunately, the beta scumbag didn't have enough arm strength to get his bomb through the window.' 'The business next door caught the scumbag in the act, and he was arrested and is now facing charges,' Runestad added.
