An Ohio man is facing federal charges over an unsuccessful attempt to burn down a church that was planning to host a “Drag Story Hour” event, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday.

According to a complaint (pdf) filed by the FBI, 20-year-old Aimenn Penny was arrested on March 31 after he allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at the Community Church of Chesterland, in Chesterland, Ohio, breaking a sign outside the building and leaving scorch marks on the church’s front door.
