Georgia man charged with throwing Molotov cocktail at Atlanta ICE building
Investigators recovered burned cloth, lighter fluid, a glass bottle and a lighter after the alleged attack, and Hinton faces up to 20 years in prison.
- On Friday, 31-year-old Inique Hinton of Douglasville, Georgia, was charged with attempted arson and depredation of government property after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in downtown Atlanta.
- Security cameras allegedly captured Hinton igniting an item and throwing it toward the multistory brick building Tuesday night, with flames spreading against the fence and investigators later recovering a lighter, lighter fluid, burned cloth, and a glass bottle at the scene.
- U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said law enforcement's response was "exemplary" and vowed to prosecute "with extreme severity" to send a message that "this is not OK." Hinton faces up to 20 years for arson and up to 10 years for depredation if convicted.
- Authorities arrested Hinton peacefully at a home in an Atlanta suburb, though court records do not currently list an attorney for the defendant as of publication.
- The downtown Atlanta building houses both ICE offices and an immigration court, making it a significant federal facility. Hertzberg noted he was not aware of any prior criminal convictions for Hinton.
