Teen Charged With Arson After Incident At City Park

A teenager was charged with arson after reportedly setting a garbage can on fire at Allen Park earlier this month.

The Jamestown Police Department said the 15-year-old was identified after a citizen noticed smoke coming from a bathroom in the park on Sept. 16 and called 911. The incident occurred around 2 p.m., JPD said in a statement Tuesday.

With the help of the citizen, police were able to identify the person reportedly responsible for the fire. The suspect, who was not named by police due to their age, was petitioned to family court for fifth-degree arson.

It wasn’t immediately known how much damaged was caused to the bathroom. No further information was available.
