“When they burnt that fence, that fire could’ve went into that house and it could’ve really harmed somebody,” one family friend told FOX31's Shaul Turner.
Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran said on social media after the incident that they were interviewing neighbors, contacting local businesses and pursuing leads, but preliminary findings indicated the incident was politically motivated.
“What is particularly troubling about this incident is the chilling effect this arsonist is attempting to impact on free speech and expression. We will not abide criminal conduct in our city, whether it be Tesla bombing terrorists, those setting fire to memorials like this, or any other heinous offenses in between. The Loveland Police Department is committed to protecting and serving our residents without favor or bias," Doran said.
Police later said they pursued leads and gathered information throughout the weekend, and after "new developments" on Monday night, a Loveland man was arrested. At this time, his name and age haven't been released. It's unclear if police are looking for more suspects at this time.
Police said the investigation remains active, and they will provide more details when possible.
