About 10 minutes later, as he was coming back through the area, he noticed the male was bending down near some grass.
At that point, the male stood up and looked very nervous, according to our citizen witness.
At that point, the male walked away.
The citizen returned to their house.
A short time later, after being at home, they saw smoke coming from what they believed was the area that they had seen the male bending down by the side of the road.
They contacted an Airway Heights police officer, gave that police officer a description of the suspect.
Mr. Farnacci was contacted.
in the area about a mile and a half from where the fire started and was detained, questioned, and ultimately released after being identified by our citizen witness.
Mr. Farinacci is...
convicted felon out of the state of Arizona.
He has a felony conviction for manslaughter and a proceeding arrest in the same case in premeditated murder in the state of Arizona.
We will be looking into
any other crimes Mr. Farnasch may have committed in the past.
We will also be looking into other charges that may come about as the facts and circumstances of the Old Trail fire come to light and come to be known.
Just know that this charge is what we have probable cause for right now.
It is a serious charge.
It is significant, but these charges may change as the investigation goes on.
