PHOENIX – A banned former Democratic volunteer was arrested for arson Wednesday in the fire that destroyed the party’s Maricopa County headquarters in Phoenix last week, authorities said.
Matthew Silvanus Egler, 29, was booked on one count of arson of an occupied structure, a class 2 felony, in connection to the blaze set early Friday morning in central Phoenix.
Egler had been banned from volunteering at the Democratic office “due to the nature of his previous behavior,†according to a joint press release from the Phoenix fire and police departments.

I've been Laughing My Ass Off ever since I first saw this....
An an unrelated note, the Director of the local HQ tells me they've replaced the latest smashed window at the GOP Central Committee.

Initially the Dems thought it was a partisan attack, https://patch.com/arizona/phoenix/maricopa-county-democratic-party-arson-5-things-know (https://patch.com/arizona/phoenix/maricopa-county-democratic-party-arson-5-things-know)
3. The Party Has Been Threatened Before
Arizona Democratic Party Chair Felecia Rotellini told 12News that this is not the first time the Arizona Democratic Party has been targeted during this election cycle. Rotellini did not elaborate on the other threats.
"This whole election cycle, presidential cycle, we have not been strangers to proposed attacks, by threats towards people and our building," Rotellini said.
That 12News link in the article didn't work, but this link worked for me, https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/arizona-democratic-party-headquarters-catches-on-fire/75-83fc2c47-b0cb-439a-a709-6e6fb6caba9e (https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/arizona-democratic-party-headquarters-catches-on-fire/75-83fc2c47-b0cb-439a-a709-6e6fb6caba9e) .
From what I've seen elsewhere, the actual perp sound like a guy who is off his meds or is a stranger to the meds he needs.
