00:00A home surveillance camera caught a man setting a garage on fire.
00:04Watch as he drives up to the home in unincorporated Port Orchard on August 4th on a golf cart along
00:09with a dog.
00:10Then, using a torch and spray canister filled with flammable liquid, set the garage door frame ablaze.
00:18Within minutes, the garage was fully involved while a resident was inside the home.
00:24Face the hood of this car. I'm going to swap cuffs of you, okay?
00:26The 47-year-old Port Orchard man was quickly taken into custody by a Washington State Patrol trooper
00:32after he was flagged down by a neighbor who witnessed the arson.
00:36The neighbor said the man claimed he was with the fire department
00:39and then waved a lit torch at him and tried to run him over with the golf cart when he
00:44was confronted.
00:45The homeowner, who was not hurt, said he had no idea who the suspect was or why he targeted the
00:51home.
00:51The fire caused an estimated $150,000 to $175,000 in damage to the structure
00:58and destroyed a car valued at about $25,000.
01:02The suspect was booked into the Kitsap County Jail on suspicion of first-degree arson and second-degree assault.
01:09It sounds like a nightmare.
01:10It's not important.
