TUCSON, Ariz., (FOX 2) - A Michigan man was indicted by a federal grand jury in Arizona for setting semi-truck trailers on fire.
The 64-year-old Allen Park resident, identified as Viorel Pricop, has also been linked to several other cases of arson, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Pricop was named in a three-count indictment for setting three commercial trailers on fire. Two of the blazes were set in Wilcox, Arizona on Feb. 7 this year, while the third happened near Holbrook, Arizona on March 1.
The fires caused damage to the vehicle and the cargo, a release said.
