arson

The firefighter had only been with the department for three months and allegedly just wanted to help put out a fire.

The vacant structure belonged to a family member of the accused.

An Avoyelles Parish man got mad about the status of his COVID-19 stimulus check and is now facing arson charges.

The incident happened last month but the arrest was made earlier this week.

The fire was allegedly set by a former employee in a trash can near the manager's stand.

According to the complaint the man doused the woman with gasoline and threatened to set their home on fire.

The home was occupied by the former girlfriend of one of the two men.

Baton Rouge police are looking for the man in this video seen walking up to a truck parked at a home and setting it on fire.

The flammable device bounced off the building and burst into flames on the street.

Fire Department Spokesman Alton Trahan says the investigation is ongoing.
