A Houston man has been arrested after being accused by authorities of trying to damage or destroy a Confederate statue at a Houston park with explosives.

Federal prosecutors said Monday 25-year-old Andrew Schneck had been charged with attempting to maliciously damage or destroy property receiving federal financial assistance.

Authorities say a Houston park ranger on Saturday caught Schneck kneeling near a statue of Richard Dowling, a lieutenant in the Confederate army, located in Hermann Park. His arrest came several hours after hundreds protested a Spirit of the Confederacy statue at Sam Houston Park, The Houston Chronicle reports.

Prosecutors say Schneck was caught with two boxes with duct tape and wires and with a bottle containing a liquid made up of compounds used as explosives.

The information came to light Monday as authorities evacuated residents near a home owned by Schneck's parents, where they found "significant hazardous materials," The Chronicle reports. The area is close to Rice University.

Of course, the Left will declare this a "solo" incident where NO ONE ELSE should be accused of anything like violent rhetoric or incitement...

I really don't know the answer to this question. How many Union lieutenant's have statues?

Actually it is germane to the topic. Why is there a statue to a CSA Lt in Houston and not one to a Union soldier. Unless of course there is.

Andrew Schneck is a left winger, any bets?

Azz hurt liberal trying to remain relevant in the post election world.

Jail the idiot for 25 years and see how he feels then.

Wait until the snowflakes start their second round of statue destroying. This time they will be statues of presidents who owned slaves.
