A Georgia fugitive accused of torching an ICE building during the 2020 riots is wanted on fresh federal charges, with the FBI noting he may be disguising himself in women’s clothing.

Federal charges were unsealed Thursday against convicted felon Ronald Scott Watson, 28, of Kennesaw, Georgia—who also goes by the names of Sarah Watson, Miranda Kyle and Emily Smith, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Watson is charged with arson and destruction of government property in relation to a summer 2020 attack on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in downtown Atlanta, according to the DOJ.

The suspect was convicted in January 2023 of felony assault of a public safety officer in Oregon. (DOJ)

Paul Brown, FBI Atlanta special agent in charge, added the First Amendment does not allow individuals to commit arson or destroy property.

Steven Schrank, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Georgia and Alabama, said those who attack government institutions “with fire and violence” will be held accountable. 

“Setting fire to a government building is not only an attack on bricks and mortar—it is an attack on the rule of law and the safety of our communities,” Schrank wrote in a statement.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Watson’s arrest. 

Officials said Watson has ties to Portland, Oregon and Atlanta, Georgia, and “may have changed his appearance and may be dressing in women’s clothing.”

Watson should be considered armed and dangerous, according to the FBI.
