A man who perpetrated arson attacks in California last year has been sentenced to more than 19 years of prison time, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of California.

“At sentencing, the Court referred to Goonan as a ‘domestic terrorist’ and found that he had committed a felony offense that involved or was intended to promote a federal crime of terrorism,” the office said.

In January, Casey Robert Goonan “pleaded guilty to one count of maliciously damaging or destroying property used in or affecting interstate commerce by means of fire or an explosive,” the release explained.

Citing “a plea agreement filed in open court,” the release notes that on June 1, 2024, the man put a bag of Molotov cockails below the fuel tank of a University of California Police Department vehicle and set that bag ablaze, which resulted in the vehicle catching on fire.

Senior U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White “also ordered the defendant serve 15 years of supervised release after he is released from custody and ordered restitution in the amount of $94,267.51 and a $100 special assessment,” the press release noted — it also points out that Goonan “has been in custody since his initial arrest on state charges on June 17, 2024.”
