A criminal complaint unveiled on Monday alleged that the suspect believed to have set Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence in Harrisburg on fire over the weekend, has admitted to harboring "hatred" for the Democratic leader.

Pennsylvania state police arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg on Sunday over the incident. Balmer allegedly set the fire while the governor was home, but Shapiro and his family were not injured.

Balmer, who has been charged with domestic terrorism, aggravated arson, aggravated assault, and attempted murder, among other things, for the fire, allegedly confessed to setting the fire after turning himself in, Fox News reported.

"Balmer admitted to harboring hatred towards Governor Shapiro," the criminal complaint reads. "He removed gasoline from a lawn mower and poured it into Heineken bottles he found at his residence."

The suspect, an Army veteran, allegedly admitted that he intended to throw homemade Molotov cocktails into the governor's mansion, scaled a fence, and broke two windows with a hammer. He also allegedly confessed that he knew the governor could be inside the residence, and "it was a possibility that people could be injured by his actions."

Balmer additionally confessed that if he did see the governor in person, he allegedly intended to beat him with his hammer.

The suspect remains under Pennsylvania state police supervision and "will be transported to the Dauphin County Prison for arraignment upon his release."

Balmer is currently receiving medical treatment for an event unrelated to the arson and arrest, state police said.
