On 05-11-2021 an employee at a Protestant Church in the 4700 block of 17 Av NE reported that a male suspect placed a “Molotov Cocktail” on their property. This occurred on 05-08-21 at 1019 hours. Evidence revealed the suspect was a male about 6′ tall, 220 pounds, wearing a tan winter hat or beanie that resembled a Carhart hat, blue light weight jacket, military style camo pants and black athletic shoes with white soles, possibly Nike, as he delicately placed a half consumed bottle of tequila on the steps of the church and then placed paper said to have Biblical verses written on it into the neck of the bottle, acting as a makeshift wick. The bottle and paper were discarded by the reporting party, but the paper was said to quote AMES 2:2-8:14, which the complainant described as Old Testament script calling for judgement of Israel. The suspect never lit the wick but was said to have looked suspiciously over his shoulders before leaving. The responding officer later located the discarded bottle and placed it into evidence. There were no other incidents at this location, and the complainant felt the incident may have been meant for a nearby Jewish Synagogue.
