The State Fire Marshal’s Office has arrested a Springfield man for setting fire to a relative’s mobile home.
30 YO Kenneth Dennis was booked into the Livingston Parish Jail on Wednesday, Nov. 16, on one count of Aggravated Arson.
In the morning hours of Tuesday, Nov. 15, Livingston Fire District #2 responded to a report of a mobile home fire on Clio Landing Road in Springfield. There was one resident inside of the home at the time of the fire, but they escaped uninjured.
