A Daisytown man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly set a house on fire, knowing there were people, including children, inside.
Brandon Tyler Michaux, 27, was reportedly in one of four apartments in a house at 25 Shady Lane with Ashton Hite, Demetrius Owens and children. Hite reportedly told police they got into an argument with Michaux after one of the childrenâs Nintendo Switch went missing. Hite and Owens told police they opened Michauxâs backpack and found the gaming system there, according to court paperwork.
Owens said they asked him to leave, and he escorted Michaux downstairs and watched him exit the rear door.
