Wildwood is a VERY expensive place to live.. He must have felt 'oppressed'..

One of the men arrested is a 19-year-old from Wildwood and the other man is a 22-year-old from St. Louis

They then marched to police headquarters at 1915 Olive Street where they, along with several others, were spotted setting combustible objects on fire under the threshold of the building. Officers then moved in to extinguish the fire while the group threw projectiles and other objects at them, according to a document obtained by 5 On Your Side.

St. Louis police spokesman Sgt. Keith Barrett wrote that members of the crowd piled debris near the front doors and used an accelerant to start multiple fires against the building's exterior. Officers who used fire extinguishers were hit by bottles, rocks and fluids that were thrown at them.

After the officers moved away (I have to ask WHY??) the men set another fire, which was again extinguished while the group pelted the officers with several objects, according to the document.

Officers monitoring cameras identified the two men from the crowd, and monitored them as they walked through other places downtown. Ultimately, they were arrested on suspicion of arson first-degree, second-degree assault on a special victim, and felony resisting arrest, according to the document.
