VICTORVILLE – A Victorville man was arrested for setting the fire that left seven residents displaced on Tuesday morning. On Tuesday, February 21, 2017, a fire was reported at the home in the 15500 block of 5th Street near B Street. When they arrived they found that the home was fully involved in smoke and flames. No one was inside the home at the time of the firefighters and deputies arrival.
“Deputies received information that the homeowner’s ex-boyfriend, Manuel Rodriguez, was upset with her and was at the residence trying to gain entry while emergency personnel were on scene,” Victorville Sheriff’s Station spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez said. “Deputies detained the suspect at the scene.”
