Police in east-central Wisconsin arrested a male teenager Sunday for allegedly setting fire to a strip mall leasing space for a congressman’s district office over the lawmaker’s position on banning TikTok.
The suspected 19-year-old arsonist from Menasha set fire to the building housing the office of Republican Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman early Sunday morning, the Fond du Lac Police Department (FDLPD) alleged.
Grothman had voted in support of the TikTok ban if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, failed to sell the app, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
