(AP) — An Alabama man was charged Monday with setting fire to a Mississippi police department that has faced protests in the months since an officer fatally shot a 1-year-old boy. Garrick Rawls faces an arson charge — a federal offense — in connection with a Halloween day fire that damaged the Senatobia police headquarters. Rawls describes himself on social media as a civil rights activist based in Huntsville, Alabama, more than 220 miles (354 kilometers) east of the small town of Senatobia, Mississippi.
