Election interference

Yep. Dude's got a place to stay for a while, I hope.

This is baffling. The dude was arrested on an unrelated warrant after he was spotted in surveillance video and picked up. During the interview he admitted to setting the mailbox on fire, but claimed it wasn’t politically motivated and he just wanted to be arrested. If he already had a warrant he could have avoided additional charges and just turned himself in. This is Florida Man level shit.

He might not have known he had a warrant. It's not like you get told until you have an interaction with a cop. Most people with warrants literally find out about them in jail.

Should I run you under cold water till you're clear or just straight into the pot? I've been back and forth on this for like 2 years now

Fill just enough water in your pot to cover them, and give it a swirl. Empty out the water. Do this two or three times, I usually do three.

Max penalty the charges allow.
