Authorities have arrested a 35-year-old man in connection with an alleged arson at Sen. Bernie Sanders' office in Vermont. The suspect, Shant Soghomonian, was charged with using fire to damage the building in Burlington. Soghomonian, also known as Michael, is from Northridge, California.
According to court records cited by the Justice Department, Soghomonian entered the building on Friday morning and proceeded to the third floor where the senator's offices are located. Security footage captured him spraying a liquid near the office door and igniting it with a lighter before fleeing as the fire spread.
