California Homeowner Arrested For Arson, Insurance Fraud

A man accused of setting fire to his Corona home and then filing fraudulent insurance claims amounting to more than $1 million was arrested Thursday, April 7, in San Francisco, Corona city officials say. Constantine Petrovic’s 4,500-square-foot home in the 2600 block of Garretson Avenue went up in flames in August 2012. Four years later, Petrovic is charged with setting the house on fire and causing more than $1 million in damage to the property, according to Riverside County Superior Court documents. The home didn’t entirely burn to the ground, but it sustained extensive damage, fire officials say.
