Austin officials arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of setting a fire inside a local synagogue on Halloween.
The man, identified by the Austin Fire Department as Franklin Barrett Sechriest, was arrested Wednesday after officials responded to an Oct. 31 fire at reform Jewish temple Congregation Beth Israel that was “intentionally set and thus an act of arson,” according to an arrest warrant reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
