Jason Stokes, a New York firefighter, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly setting his own home on fire — a crime that was initially blamed on Black Lives Matter. Last week he posted $10,000 bail.
On August 10 around 2:30 am, firefighters responded to a fire at Stokes’ home in Endicott, New York. Stokes’ wife and two teenage children were home at the time. The message “Lie with pigs, fry like bacon” was found on the wall. The first floor of the house was damaged, Time Warner Cable News reported.
