 Pelitis/ Vigo Co. Jail
By Lucy Perry
Indiana Central News A Terre Haute man is in jail after allegedly setting fire to a vehicle parked outside of a southside business early Saturday morning. Arlo A. Peletis, 35, was booked into the Vigo County Jail Saturday around 1:30 p.m. He is charged with arson, a level 4 felony, after officials say he set fire to a pickup truck belonging to the S. Seventh Street business. Peletis was ultimately taken into custody later in the day, after Terre Haute Police Department officers were dispatched to separate call at a restaurant in the 2400 block of S. Third Street on a report of an unwanted guest -- which happened to be the arson suspect. Terre Haute Fire Department Arson Investigator Matt Holbert explained that the owner of Norm's Mirror Image Glass, located in the 1700 block of S. Seventh Street, had called the Terre Haute Police Department to report the suspicious fire after the pickup truck was "burned to the ground." He believed the fire was intentionally set and noted that the garage doors of his business also sustained damage from the overnight incident. A video from the business showed a white male with brown hair, wearing a red jacket, at the scene around midnight. After allegedly setting the fire, the suspect reportedly was observed in the video walking to the nearby gas station at Hulman Street.
A THPD officer familiar with the suspect reportedly reviewed the video and identified him as Peletis. According to the probable cause affidavit prepared by Holbert, Paletis admitted he had been sleeping in the truck, but denied setting fire to it, during later questioning at THPD headquarters. A woman who lives right behind the business feels lucky to have been awakened by her dog during the emergency situation. "Our 4-month-old great dane woke me and my fiance up to alert us about it," Aliesha Jacobs said. Paletis remains held on $35,000 bond, no 10 percent allowed. He is scheduled to appear in Div. 6 Superior Court March 27. |
