Trashcans lit on fire outside Sacramento State dorm
SACRAMENTO – Authorities are asking the Sacramento State University community to be on alert after a pair of suspected arson incidents outside a dorm building.
Sacramento State police said, Tuesday afternoon, officers got a report about a fire in a trashcan outside Riverview Hall.
The fire was put out quickly, but then officers noticed that a second fire had been started just 40 yards away in a different trashcan.
Investigators believe the fires were set intentionally and police said a person of interest was spotted near the trashcans just before the fires. A photo of that person of interest has been released by police.
