A man has been arrested in Connecticut on suspicion of starting a fire on a boat displaying a Donald Trump banner.
Olajuwon Johnson, 25, of Bridgeport, has been charged with third-degree arson following an incident at the East End Yacht Club at around 2:30 p.m. on Monday.
Scott Appleby, the city's director of emergency management and emergency communications, told the Fairfield Citizen Bridgeport Police had received reporting a man with a can of gasoline on a boat.
The 911 caller reported smelling smoke before noticing that a boat cooler was on fire. He extinguished the flames himself.
Police were then provided a description of the suspect. A man who later matched the description, later identified as Johnson, was found and detained.
The man who made the 911 call also identified Johnson as the person he saw on the boat.
Johnson was arrested and charged with third-degree arson. His bond was set at $10,000.
The owner of the boat, Mark Bourque, said that Jonson was found by police holding a gas can.

Were they using it as bait to lure him out into the open?
