A McIntyre, Indiana County, man was taken into custody after he was accused of threatening a woman and setting fire to a couch in her home.

Steven Marsh, 37, was taken into custody Friday evening after being wanted for arson, making terroristic threats and other related offenses.

Police say the incident took place just before 3 a.m. Friday on Third Street in Ernest Borough.

The victim told police she was home at the time, and Marks allegedly put out the fire before leaving her residence.

Marsh was lodged at the Indiana County Jail to await his preliminary arraignment.
