A male suspect was arrested near the Barnes and Noble in Valencia Sunday on suspicion of arson, according to Sgt. Rios, spokesman with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The incident was originally reported to the L.A. County Fire Department by the SCV Sheriff’s Station as a small brush fire near Dapper Dan’s Car Wash on Magic Mountain Parkway, said Supervising Fire Dispatcher Melanie Flores.
Flores said it was reported that it was possibly a transient who started the fire.
The fire remained small and under control, according to Flores.
On Monday, Rios confirmed that the suspect remains in custody as of the time of this story’s publication.
