A Colorado man pleaded guilty to a hate crime charge Thursday in connection with setting fire to a church in Loveland, Colorado.
Investigators followed footprints in the snow that led to Sexton’s home, the outlet also reported. A surveillance camera showed what appeared to be a masked Sexton throwing the Molotov cocktail at the front door.
In a separate video from a liquor store, a man who looks similar to Sexton was seen buying Admiral Nelson’s Premium Watermelon Rum. Broken glass bottles of the same type were also found at the church.
The FBI, ATF, and Loveland Police and Fire Departments investigated the case, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Colorado.
Sexton faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 21.
