(Burlington, VT)  --  An arrest has been made in connection with the arson fire set at the Burlington office of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.  

Shant Soghomonian of California, who also goes by Michael, was arrested Sunday, and is being held without bail. The Vermont U.S. Attorney's office says the 35-year-old set the fire outside the door of the senator's office Friday, causing some damage but no injuries.

He reportedly was caught on video spraying a liquid on the outer door of the office, then using a hand lighter to spark the flames.
