Northern California Man Arrested On Google Arson Charge
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a Northern California man suspected of attacking the headquarters of Internet search giant Google with Molotov cocktails and a gun.
The man told authorities he was upset because he felt Google was watching him.
Mountain View police arrested Raul Diaz on the company's campus shortly after midnight Thursday. The 30-year-old is charged with one count of arson in connection with an attempted firebombing of a Google vehicle used to map streets. Authorities are investigating whether the 30-year-old is connected to two other attacks, including the torching a company self-driving car and the shooting out of office windows.
Authorities found the makings of a pipe bomb in Diaz' vehicle after he was arrested, according to court documents. It's unclear if Diaz is yet represented by an attorney.
