Madison police are investigating a possible arson and vandalism incident, after a pickup truck with anti-Donald Trump slogans spray painted on it was found on fire late Friday night.

The truck was in a parking lot in the 1600 block of South Park Street, and was discovered on fire by a couple of passersby at about 11:50 p.m. Friday.

"Police were able to contact the man who had been driving the Dodge Ram pickup truck," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain. "He was at a holiday party when the fire was spotted."

The 27-year-old Madison man said he didn't know who would want to damage his vehicle.

"He also said he hadn't engaged in any heated political discussions at the social gathering he attended," DeSpain said.

Nobody was injured, and no damage estimate to the truck was given.
