CHICAGO — A man threatened a security officer posted outside the FBI’s Chicago headquarters then returned to the security station almost a month later and started a fire outside, according to a criminal complaint filed Sunday.
James Lofton is accused of maliciously damaging and destroying a U.S. government building by means of fire, according to the complaint.
He was charged after he was seen on Friday afternoon lighting fire to a jacket he had just taken off and left outside of the FBI Chicago Field Office, 2111 W. Roosevelt Road, at the security station at the building’s eastern entrance.
