BATON ROUGE, La. — A suspect has been arrested in the burnings of three historically black churches in one south Louisiana parish in the last month, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday night.

David C. Joseph, the United States attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, confirmed in a statement that a suspect was in custody. He did not elaborate.
United States Representative Clay Higgins said the suspect was the son of a St. Landry Parish deputy sheriff.

The fires, which destroyed the three churches, occurred on March 26, April 2 and April 4 in St. Landry Parish, north of Lafayette. The first was at St. Mary Baptist in Port Barre; the two others were at Greater Union Baptist Church and Mount Pleasant Baptist in Opelousas, the St. Landry Parish seat. Officials had said they had found “suspicious elements” in each case.

“They burned down a building,” the Rev. Harry J. Richard of the Greater Union church said as he preached at a gathering on April 7 after the fire. “They didn’t burn down our spirit.”

A fourth fire, a small blaze that officials said was “intentionally set,” was reported on March 31 at a predominantly white church in Caddo Parish, about a three-hour drive north. It was unclear if that fire was connected to the others.

Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana and law enforcement officials were scheduled to provide details on the arrest at a news conference on Thursday morning in Opelousas.
The F.B.I. and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had been involved in the investigation, as well as the Louisiana and Florida state fire marshals, the cybercrime unit of the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, and state and local police.

Since the 1950s, black churches across the South have been the targets of racist attacks, from arson and bombing to armed assault.

Of course you provide no source, because you have none, because you made it up.

He doesn't look white to me. Light skinned maybe.

Deputy’s son arrested in connection to fires at historically black churches

The son of a Louisiana sheriff’s deputy was arrested Wednesday in connection to a series of arson attacks that went down at three historically-black churches in the span of just 10 days.
Authorities in St. Landry Parish took 21-year-old Holden Matthews — son of a St. Landry Parish Deputy Roy Matthews — into custody around 5:30 p.m. following a joint investigation by the state’s Fire Marshal’s Office and FBI, KATC-TV reports.

Cops have refused to release any information about Matthews, who is white, or a possible motive, but sources told the local television station that the fires appeared to have been intentionally set.

St. Landry officials said they would be providing an update at a press conference on Thursday morning.

The NAACP believes the fires — which went down at St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre on March 26, Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas on April 2, and nearby Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on April 4 — were racially motivated and should be labeled “domestic terrorism.”

“We must not turn a blind eye to any incident where people are targeted because of the color of their skin or their faith,” the group said in a statement Monday. “The spike in church burnings in Southern states is a reflection of the emboldened racial rhetoric and tension spreading across the country. But this is nothing new.”
US Attorney David Joseph had called the recent string of arson attacks “despicable.”

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office, ATF, and FBI are working with state and local law enforcement and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the victims and those St. Landry Parish residents affected,” he said in
