According to the Free-Lance-Star, police say the man—whose name has not been released—reportedly walked up to a police memorial on the parking lot of a police station in late May, doused the memorial in gasoline, and ignited a fire.

He then placed two Molotov cocktails by the front doors of the station and lit them, police say.

Charges are pending.
