The 19-year-old Menasha man suspected of setting fire to side of a strip mall housing office space for Congressman Glenn Grothman made his initial appearance in Fond du Lac County Court Wednesday. Caiden Sage Stachowicz is charged with Arson, Terrorist Threat, Attempted Burglary, and Criminal Damage to Property. Bond was set at $500,000 cash and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 30th. According to the criminal complaint Caiden told police he doesn’t like Grothman and later said he didn’t want to hurt anyone but set the fire because Congressman Grothman voted “Yes” to have Tik Tok shutdown. According to the complaint Caiden told investigators he tried to break into the office to set fire to the inside but was unsuccessful. Unable to break in he set fire to side of the building. He said he knew that it was a government building and wanted to cause disruption and make a point by starting the building on fire.
