The address is listed as the office for Arrington & Phillips, LLP. One of the partners, Marvin S. Arrington Jr., is also the Fulton County commissioner representing District 5.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln spoke with Commissioner Arrington over the phone Sunday night. He confirmed that his office was the target of the attack.

Arrington said a hired contractor was inside the building at the time of the attack.

“Apparently they walked up, they were behind the office, so apparently they left a gasoline can and they left a roll of toilet tissue and I assume they had left two or three, or some amount that started the fire,” Arrington told Lincoln. “So hopefully they will be able to find who did this.
