Member of Black Church That Was Burnt Down, ‘Vote Trump’ Scrawled on
Its Side, Charged With Arson
A 45-year-old member of a black church in Greenville, Mississippi, is
in custody for burning it down in November, when the words “Vote
Trump” were also spray painted on its side.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Andrew McClinton, of
Leland, Mississippi, is scheduled to appear in court Thursday on a
single charge of first-degree arson of a place of worship. The
Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church was destroyed by the Nov. 1 fire.

McClinton, who’s African American, is a member of the church, Hopewell
Missionary Baptist Bishop Clarence Green told the AP.
