A US Marine was one of two men arrested Wednesday in connection to the firebombing of a California Planned Parenthood last year, federal prosecutors said.
Chance Brannon, a 23-year-old active duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton in Orange County, and Tibet Ergul, 21, were taken into custody for allegedly tossing a Molotov cocktail at the entrance of the Costa Mesa clinic in March 2022.
Prosecutors allege Brannon and Ergul disguised themselves in hooded sweatshirts and face masks to carry out the early morning attack.
Surveillance video allegedly captured the men approaching the Planned Parenthood location, igniting the device and then throwing it at the building’s front door, according to prosecutors.
