In Chicago, Illinois, Timothy O'Donnell, 31, was arrested on a federal arson charge… after he allegedly placed a lit object into the gas tank of a police car during a protest last week… now, as it turns out, O’Donnell was wearing a mask… and one that covered his entire face… so, how was he identified?

Have a GREAT weekend, folks! Be safe. Stay healthy.
