U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg called it terrorism at the podium. The complaint itself charges attempted arson and property damage. FOX 5 Atlanta reported authorities have not established a motive. A complaint is the government's accusation, and the government will have to prove it.

Ocean County prosecutors charged Chelsea Villano with falsely incriminating the boyfriend she said burned her in the Pine Barrens.
This is a reversal, not a resolution. A week ago Martin was the one charged. Now prosecutors say the account that put him in jail was false, and the woman who gave it is the one charged. Prosecutors have not said how she was burned. Her two counts are accusations, and a charge is not a conviction.
