A St. Paul man has been charged in connection to the arson at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct.

Monday, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced it charged 23-year-old Branden Michael Wolfe with aiding and abetting arson.

A fire at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct on May 28 followed rioting that occurred after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department.

According to a criminal complaint, police were called on June 3 to the Menards in St. Paul after they received a report that a person with police equipment was trying to get into the store. The person was later identified as Wolfe.

The complaint says Wolfe was a security guard at the store but was fired following social media posts that referred to stealing items from the precinct.

When officers arrested Wolfe, he was wearing body armor and had a police duty belt with handcuffs, an earphone piece, a baton and knife.

This guy is downright stupid in so many ways. I hope he goes to jail for a long time.

Body armor, a police utility belt and a knife? Big deal, that’s how I roll when shopping at a local feral walmart

I regret to tell this protester that rarely do the authorities take Arson lightly.

[Magnum44]

Yeah, but is your armor and utility belt stolen?

[OKSooner]

Yes, and in the prison hierarchy arsonists are next to the bottom, only above child abusers.

Wolfe was a security guard at the store...

When officers arrested Wolfe, he was wearing body armor and had a police duty belt with handcuffs, an earphone piece, a baton and knife. When officers searched his home, they located a riot helmet, a 9mm pistol magazine, a police radio and an overdose kit.
