INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities say a 40-year-old man has been arrested following eight arson fires since 2014 in Indianapolis.
Police say the man is a person of interest in a July 2 fire that appeared suspicious to firefighters at the scene. He was recently arrested in Evansville and police say he's also believed to be involved in seven other arson fires, including two others this year, two in 2018 and three in 2014.
