Man who drove gas-soaked car into office charged with arson

A man has been charged with arson after plowing a stolen SUV into an office building in Washington D.C., less than a mile from the White House. Police have accused Charles Morrell Ball, 32, of New Market, Md., of driving a vehicle they say was intentionally doused in gasoline through the full-length plate glass window of a business district office tower yesterday evening. A can of gasoline was reportedly in the back seat, and police said Ball pulled a lighter out and began sparking it. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved, and police are investigating the suspect, who reportedly has a sex-offense warrant on the books as well.
