The Maine State Fire Marshal arrested a Crystal man on Friday after he allegedly attempted to burn down the mobile home he was renting.

On August 25, the Patten Fire Department requested assistance from the Fire Marshal in its investigation into a small fire at a mobile home at 713 Crystal Road in Crystal.

Investigators allegedly determined that the resident, Walker Craig, 25, of Crystal, had attempted to burn down the building.

After collecting evidence, the Fire Marshal’s Office secured an arrest warrant charging Craig with arson and aggravated criminal mischief.

The Houlton Police Department arrested him on Friday and transported him to the Aroostook County Jail, where he was held on $10,000 bail.

Earlier this month, the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Department issued a notice requesting public assistance in locating Craig, who was missing at the time, though he was subsequently found.

The paint job on the truck tells us all something about the suspect’s mental state .
Ruin the truck . Burn the trailer . Who’s / What’s next ?
Time for this boy to spend some time in jail cooling off .

Let me guess. He didn’t pay his rent, was told to get out, so if he can’t live there no one can.
