PORT ORCHARD, Wash. - A Kitsap County, Washington man is accused of torching a house from his golf cart, all while his dog watched from the passenger seat.
Surveillance video shows a 47-year-old Kitsap County man driving up to a house in a golf cart with his dog, using a torch and spray canister to set the garage on fire while the homeowner was inside.
A witness saw the whole thing, and was approached by the 47-year-old suspect, who allegedly claimed he was with the fire department, before waving his torch at him and trying to run him over with his golf cart.
Washington State troopers quickly tracked the suspect down and took him into custody.
The fire caused an estimated $150,000–$175,000 in damage to the house, and destroyed a $25,000 car. The homeowner was not injured in the arson, and told police they have no idea who the suspect is or why their house was targeted.
