MySpace.com arson suspect arrested again:
A Kanawha County man who was arrested earlier this week on an arson charge after police saw a MySpace.com posting about the crime was arrested again Thursday after police say he fled from a deputy on his all-terrain vehicle while his driver�s license was suspended, court records show.
About 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Kanawha County Sheriff�s Deputy R.L. Keglor tried to pull over David A. Fugate, 20, who was riding an ATV on Campbells Creek Drive, but Fugate fled up Spring Fork Drive, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Keglor later spotted Fugate, whose driver�s license is suspended, hiding on a parking lot, but he fled again up a gravel road, the complaint stated.
Fugate was arraigned on Thursday on misdemeanor charges of fleeing in a vehicle and driving on a suspended license. At the time of his most recent arrest, he was free on bond on a first-degree arson charge. Police say he threw a jar filled with an undetermined accelerant at a residence.
According to that criminal complaint, the victim was awakened by the sound of something hitting the side of his house. When he looked out of his window, the victim saw someone standing under a tree in his neighbor�s yard light something and throw it against his house, the complaint states. Deputies found charred jars in the front yard, one with a rag hanging out of it, according to the complaint.
On Monday, the victim gave investigators a printout from a message board on a juvenile�s online MySpace.com account in which Fugate claimed he was one of the people who threw the jars at the house, according to the criminal complaint.
And thanks to the article itself we have Fugate’s MySpace.
Red would like throw a jar of foot at your ass because you’ve just won the Red Forman Dumbass Award.
