Police in Pennsylvania have arrested a man suspected of torching state Governor Josh Shapiro’s home on Sunday morning.
Cody Balmer, 38, was arrested in the Harrisburg area not long after the Governor and his family were evacuated to safety.
Photographs show extensive damage to the Governor’s Mansion, including the remnants of a Passover dinner the Governor had hosted the night before the fire.
Dauphin County District Attorney Francis Chardo stated that charges will include attempted murder, terrorism, attempted arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person.
Balmer is said to have scaled a wall, evaded state troopers and set a fire before fleeing the scene.
Authorities have not yet released Balmer’s photo, but images of the suspect are circulating on social media.
It’s been suggested Balmer was angry at Governor Shapiro because his property was seized and auctioned by the local sheriff’s office.
