July 23, 2025
A longtime critic of voting machines and local government has been charged with arson for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail-like device into an office holding voting equipment in his Colorado mountain community. William Wayne Bryant appeared in court Wednesday on charges filed in connection with the June 12 firebombing of a county building in Pagosa Springs. Police say the overnight attack sparked a fire that damaged Dominion Voting Systems equipment in the county clerk’s office and also damaged the assessor’s office upstairs. Bryant’s lawyer declined to discuss the case but said he is presumed innocent.
