Mecklenburg County Jail
A North Carolina man was arrested late Monday after allegedly throwing a rock into a daycare center with hate speech written on it, an incident police say is connected to the shooting of a park ranger days earlier.
Tyson Lee Corpening, 36, faces seven charges—including attempted murder, assault of a deadly weapon with intent to kill, ethnic intimidation, and the threat of mass violence on the educational property. Corpening was taken into custody with the assistance of a SWAT team and the FBI.
He was being housed at the Mecklenburg County Jail and it was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
