THREE RIVERS – A suspect is in custody for allegedly setting an RV on fire.
The St. Joseph County Sheriff's Department and the Three Rivers Fire Department were both called to a residence in the 16,000 block of Lovers Lane just after 10:30 Friday morning.
Witnesses told deputies that a 40 year old man was seen going into the residence, after he poured gasoline in the driveway and garage, leading to an RV, which was in the back yard and on fire.
