Federal authorities on July 31 charged a man with arson for tossing a bomb at the federal courthouse in downtown Portland after discovering an online review his grandmother left about the green vest the 18-year-old wore to the protest.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office at the District of Oregon, Gabriel Agard-Berryhill, 18, was seen in a video posted on social media throwing a bomb at the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse on Tuesday, setting off a large explosion. Authorities found Agard-Berryhill wearing the same green vest in other videos and eventually discovered a review for the item written by his grandmother.
