LA Police: Not Enough Probable Cause For Arson Suspect Residents Say They Saw Starting Fires

Posted • January 11, 2025: Los Angeles police say there is not enough probable cause to charge a man with arson who was apprehended by citizens. Those citizens say they saw him trying to set fires. Police add that they did arrest him for a felony probation charge. Many are upset with decision. 🚨 LAPD says they have NO PROBABLE CAUSE to charge the man who was caught trying to start fires using a blow torch with arson. They’re going to let him go, aren’t they? As expected, the man’s name has not been released even though his felony probation arrest means he has a criminal record. Some outlets have reported he’s a homeless man in his 20s or 30s and his first language is Spanish. My guess, he’s illegal and because they don’t want him deported they’re letting him go to start more fires. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg8zmrOXkAA236I?format=jpg&name=medium (…)
