Fox News
California man Shant Soghomonian was arrested on April 7, 2024, for setting a fire outside Sen. Bernie Sanders' VT office, but his motive remains unclear.
The building's interior suffered some damage from the fire and sprinklers that doused the area with water, but no one was hurt. Sanders, an independent, was not in the office at the time.
Soghomonian was arrested Sunday on a charge of using fire to damage a building used in interstate commerce, according to a statement from Nikolas Kerest, the U.S. attorney for Vermont.
