PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A man from Plum Borough was arrested last week after charges were filed against him for trying to blow up his own home. 

Neil Yetsko was charged with attempted arson and other offenses earlier this month when he was accused of creating a gas leak in his home and leaving two candles burning. 

Court documents now show Yetsko was taken into custody on Friday.
