Franklin Barrett Sechriest was arrested Nov. 10, accused of lighting a fire near the doors of Congregation Beth Israel on Oct. 31 at 9 p.m., causing $25,000 in damage to the synagogue, according to the affidavit.
Following an investigation and witness interviews, officials “determined that the fire was intentionally set and thus an act of arson,” the complaint says.
The FBI executed federal search warrants on Nov. 10 at Sechriest’s home in San Marcos, Texas, and found clothes consistent with what he was wearing in the Oct. 31 surveillance footage. Investigators also found stickers in the car, one of which said, “They hate your ancestors, they hate your culture, they hate your nation, they hate your religion … it’s okay to hate them back.” Another sticker displayed swastikas with the phrase: “Would you kill them all to see your rights? The price of freedom is paid in blood.”
