Comment on Dodgers Beat Yankees to Win World Series

NEW YORK — You gotta hand it to Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. And not just because the Yankees certainly did.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The man suspected of setting fires in ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state is an experienced metalworker and may be planning additional attacks, authorities said Wednesday. Investigators believe the man who set the incendiary devices at ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington, had a “wealth of experience” in metal fabrication and welding, said Portland Police Bureau spokesperson Mike Benner.

Authorities described the suspect as a white man, age 30 to 40, who is balding or has very short hair. Police previously said surveillance video showed the man driving a black or dark-colored 2001 to 2004 Volvo S-60.
