SPOKANE, Wash. The man accused of setting fire to the Spokane Democrats Office in December has been indicted on federal charges, U.S. Attorney William D. Hyslop said Tuesday.
Spokane Police and Bomb Squad members rushed to the Teamsters building in early December for reports of a bomb threat. They later identified Peter Yeager, 45, as the suspect.
Documents show Yeager drove all the way from Grand Coulee with a plan to burn down the Spokane Democrats Office. Police say Yeager entered the building with items resembling a bomb (such as wires sticking out of a backpack), and threatened to blow the place up. They later learned he did not actually have an explosive, though he was carrying gasoline, oil, a camping lighter, and toilet paper, which investigators say he used to spark a fire in the offices.
