Michael Edgar Bivins, 34, is also facing 11 state charges, including one count of Arson in the First Degree, five counts of Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and five counts of Bias Crime in the Second Degree.

"Video surveillance captured a male, later identified as Bivins, pouring fluid on the northeast wall of the Center and subsequently throwing a matchbook on the liquid causing it to erupt in flames," according to the charges describing the incident."Bivins can be seen briefly walking away from the fire and returning with a lit piece of cloth and throwing it in the area where he had poured the fluid.

He also is accused of spraying threatening anti-Jewish language on the exterior of the synagogue Congregation Beth Israel and using a rock to break the window of another building on the synagogue's campus around the same day, according to court documents. However, the federal and state charges state different days.

Portland police detained him on May 6, according to officials. Bivins has plead not guilty to the state charges.
