April 14 (UPI) -- Federal authorities have charged the 20-year-old Texas man who police arrested after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the San Francisco home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The criminal complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California charges Daniel Moreno-Gama of Spring, Texas, with possession of an unregistered firearm and attempted damage to and destruction of property by means of explosives.
If convicted, Moreno-Gama faces between five and 20 years' imprisonment for the first count and a maximum of 10 years for the second.
The incident occurred early Friday, when, shortly after 4 a.m., officers of the San Francisco Police Department were dispatched to Altman's North Beach residence, where a suspect threw an "incendiary destructive device" at the home, causing a fire to an exterior gate before fleeing on foot.
Police arrested the suspect less than an hour later after he allegedly threatened to burn down OpenAI's headquarters, located nearby in the 1400 block of 3rd Street.
