Description: In the early morning hours of May 29, 2020, according to federal charging documents, Minnesota residents Fornandous Cortez Henderson of Savage and Garrett Ziegler of Long Lake attacked the Dakota County Western Service Center, a government building in the suburban City of Apple Valley that contained a U.S. passport office, court rooms, and official services. The two men broke several windows with baseball bats and threw Molotov cocktails inside. Some of the incendiary devices ignited and caused fire and smoke damage. The men also poured flammable liquid liquids and attempted to start other fires. Law enforcement that assisted the fire department in responding to building alarms arrested Ziegler and Henderson as they fled on foot. In the aftermath of the riots, the two men pleaded guilty to federal arson crimes and were sentenced to prison, according to 2020 and 2021 press releases by the U.S. Department of Justice.
