An arson suspect is in custody after investigators arrested him at the scene of a fire he allegedly set at a multi-million dollar home n Georgetown on Monday.
According to police, Samuel Kalinski, 26, of Northwest D.C. broke into the home in the 3200 block of S Street, Northwest and then scattered briquettes around the property.
They say an “Accelerant K-9” identified a flammable liquid used to help spark the blaze.
D.C. fire and rescue crews responded to the scene of the fire at the two-story house around 1:11 p.m.
Investigators were able to identify the suspect when they checked surveillance video from a nearby business.
When they returned to the scene, Kalinski was still there.
Charcoal briquettes??? Somewhere in this story is a polock joke begging to get out.
