The bottle didn’t hit anyone or explode, and another bottle was found on a shelf behind the counter with a strong gas odor and torn medical gauze inside. It looked like a Molotov Cocktail to police.
Two partially burnt $1 bills were found on the floor behind the counter, where much of the merchandise was soaked with gasoline.
Police found two suspects, one with a warrant for child endangering and one with similar white medical gauze in his pockets. The first was arrested on his warrant, the second for aggravated arson, although nothing went up in flames except their plans.
