WURTSBORO – State Police arrested an 18-year-old man on two counts of misdemeanor arson with other charges pending.
The arrest of the man, whose name was not released because of possible youthful offender status, was made after an investigation by State Police and state forest rangers during which it was determined that someone had intentionally set several brush fires in and around the Town of Mamakating in mid-April and mid-May.
The investigation by the two agencies led to the arrest of the teen, who allegedly started the fires. He was released on an appearance ticket pending future court action.
