Storm Lake, IA (KICD)– A Storm Lake man is police custody after allegedly setting a fire inside a local business Wednesday night.

The Storm Lake Police Department was called to the Royal Laundromat around eleven o’clock to a report of a trash can on fire outside of the building.

At the scene, officers discovered the container had been doused and moved outside by patrons inside the building after 46-year-old Dany Duarte reportedly set it ablaze and then fled.

Duarte was apprehended a couple of hours later and charged with first degree arson and is being held in the Buena Vista County Jail on 25-thousand dollars bond. Authorities say there was minor property damage caused by the incident but no injuries.
