The feds on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the arson of a historic Brooklyn church.
A historic church built around 1860 on Bushwick Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, was engulfed in flames on June 19 – also known as ‘Juneteenth.’
The community was devastated after the landmark South Bushwick Church was destroyed by a three-alarm fire.
The steeple collapsed as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.
24-year-old John Jones was taken into custody as he tried to steal a sandwich and donuts from a store on Broadway, according to The New York Post.
Jones was caught on video on the side of the church using a lighter to ignite the blaze.
According to The Post, Jones was arrested in late June on criminal mischief charges for smashing a tv at a restaurant and causing $900 in damages.
