Man charged with attempted arson of Hyannis restaurant

A Cape Cod man was charged with attempting to burn a building after he was identified as the culprit who tried to torch a Brazilian restaurant in Hyannis, and then later threw a brick through the restaurant’s window, police said.

Lucas B. Penna, 43, is slated to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court today on charges of attempting to burn a building, willful injury to a building, and possession of an infernal machine, a Molotov cocktail. Penna is a national of Brazil who is living in the United States on a visa, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has now placed a detainer for his arrest, for possible deportation, authorities said.

I'll bet he had an unsuccessful employment history with the restaurant.

I'll bet he had an unsuccessful employment history in two countries.  Total loser.
