A St. Paul man was charged with arson after a Minneapolis police precinct was burned down last month amid protests over the killing of George Floyd, officials announced Monday.
Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, was charged with aiding and abetting arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct, U. S. Attorney Erica MacDonald said Monday. He is set to appear in court on Tuesday.
In an interview with law enforcement, Wolfe admitted that he was inside the Third Precinct the night of the arson and pushed a wooden barrel into the fire knowing that it would help keep the fire burning, according to the Department of Justice.
