A teenager accused of burning the American flag at the Northampton post office will face several charges.
Police say a 16-year-old set fire to the flag outside the post office Tuesday evening while it was still attached to the pole.
Authorities said the flag had been lowered when officers arrived at the scene, and another black flag had also been attached.
The teen reportedly ran away after setting the fire but was later found by officers.
