19-Year-Old from Menasha Arrested for Arson at Rep. Glenn Grothman's Office Over TikTok Ban; No Injuries Reported
Jan 19, 2025, 07:27 PM
A 19-year-old man from Menasha, Wisconsin, has been arrested for allegedly setting fire to U.S. Representative Glenn Grothman's office in Fond du Lac. Authorities reported that the suspect cited his anger over the federal government's ban on TikTok as his motivation for the act. The incident occurred early on January 19, 2025, at a strip mall where Grothman's office is located. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire. Rep. Grothman, a Republican, expressed that he is still trying to understand the situation and is having staff check on the office. The TikTok ban has been a contentious issue, reportedly causing distress among some individuals nationwide, leading to emergency calls related to the ban. The suspect's actions come just hours before the ban was officially lifted.
