Fears of terrorism initially spread after someone intentionally set fire to the Chinese consulate in San Francisco last week.
But CBS SF reports that the suspect, 39-year-old Yan Feng, may have been suffering from mental health problems after he told FBI agents that he was hearing voices in Chinese.
Feng was charged Monday with two counts of arson and willfully damaging property belonging to a foreign government.
According to FBI agent Michel Eldridge, the suspect “stated in substance that he targeted the Chinese consulate because all the voices he had been hearing were in Chinese and the Chinese consulate had to have been involved.”
