An ambulance employee placed on administrative leave was taken into custody in Pennsylvania Saturday after police say he set four fires across Connecticut.
Richard White, 37, a Hunter’s Ambulance EMT, was charged Saturday night with burglary and arson, said Sgt. Paul Makuc of the State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit. He is a suspect in fires set at the firehouse and a private residence in Roxbury, Makuc said.
Meriden police say White used a Molotov cocktail to set a fire at Hunter’s Ambulance in Old Saybrook and tossed a “lit object,” also a Molotov cocktail, at the ambulance holding bays in Meriden.
37-year-old Richard White is expected to be extradited to Connecticut sometime in the next couple of weeks.
He ll face charges in each town these fires sparked in.
On Sunday, CT State and Meriden Police revealed more about the timeline of yesterday s fires, but as far as a motive, we re still waiting to learn that.
CT State Police provide an update after a Torrington man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at CT ambulances was arrested in Pennsylvania late Saturday night. The first fire, it was reported in Old Saybrook shortly after 4:00 and the last fire in Roxbury was reported shortly after 6:00, so everything that occurred last night happened in a very, you know, rapid timeframe, CT State Police Sgt. Paul Makuc stated.
