Texas Man Arrested for Arson after Claiming House Burned Down Due to ‘Racist Hate Crime’



A Texas man has been arrested for arson after garnering widespread media attention for his claim that his house was burned down and completely destroyed as part of a “racist hate crime” attack.
Roberson told police at the time that racist graffiti had been spray-painted on the property the month before the fire.

The story was quickly picked up and parroted by the liberal media.
Roberson also claimed he was nearly shot in the same neighborhood two weeks after the graffiti was painted on the house.

Roberson owned the home as a rental property.
The man who survived the fire told San Jacinto County deputies that he had “stepped in some gas” and that he was “burned up.”

He was seen by neighbors covered in flames as he ran from the burning building.

After escaping the building, he drove a truck away from the blaze before crashing into a ditch, where he was found by deputies.
He told KTRK at the time that “People are being terrible because of the hatred in their heart.”
If convicted, Roberson faces anywhere between five and 99 years in prison.
