Molotov cocktails thrown at local Republican headquarters in Michigan’s U.P.
Two Molotov cocktails were aimed at the Dickinson County Republican Committee Headquarters building in Iron Mountain, Michigan, local police say.
No significant damage resulted.
The Iron Mountain Police Department says it has arrested a 19-year-old man from Iron Mountain, which is in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, near the Michigan-Wisconsin state line.
The attempted vandalism was noticed about 3:55 p.m. Saturday at the headquarters building on North Stephenson Avenue, the police report said. The caller told emergency officials that someone could be seen attempting to light a rag on fire that was sticking out of a glass bottle, then throwing the bottle at the building.
Security cameras in the area showed an image of someone trying to do just that, the police report said. When the man could not get the rag to light, he threw the bottle at the window, which caused the bottle to shatter.
