The Press Gazette is reporting that they have a man in custody in relation to the firebombing of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Grand Chute, Wisconsin. He is currently in the Outagamie County Jail on a probation violation. He has not been charged. The surveilance video showed a vehicle and a matching vehicle was involved in a crash and towed. It is not yet clear as to whether he will be charged in Federal Court, or in the Outagamie County Court system. At this time he has NOT been charged in the incident, nor has he been identified.
I'll try and update on this story as more information becomes available.
Planned Parenthood has issued a statement.
