Police and fire personnel responded to the report of a fire at the strip mall containing the congressman's office at around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Summary

A 19-year-old man was arrested for allegedly setting fire to U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, citing anger over the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding a TikTok ban.

The suspect admitted to the arson, which caused no injuries as the building was unoccupied.

The ban, upheld due to national security concerns about TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, has sparked significant public reactions.

Grothman had supported legislation to ban TikTok earlier in 2024.
