is warranted.

It was Oct. 9 that Durfee set fire to the newly erected hay bale display on the south side of Route 9, across from Holiday Brook Farm. Farmer Dicken Cranes display bore the Democratic Party candidates names and consisted of 19 wrapped hay bales, weighing roughly 1,000 pounds each.
Durfee had made known his intention to burn the display, prosecutors said, telling patrons inside Paddys, a Dalton bar, and stopping at a local Cumberland Farms to purchase gasoline he used as an accelerant.
Durfee, a Trump supporter, went on to tell authorities that the Biden-Harris display angered him and he decided to burn it. Police said in a report that Durfee admitted setting the fire because he disagreed with its message.
According to the report, Durfee expressed support for law enforcement, anger at news organizations that he said keep lieing [sic] about Trump, and said Black people have more rights than us. Prosecutors also introduced undated photos taken from Durfees phone that showed Durfee standing next to a burning Black Lives Matter sign.
