Wednesday, October 29th, 2014 Property

A man has been jailed on charges he set fire to the Pennsylvania discount store where he worked, starting a blaze that did $2 million in damage to a strip mall. When asked to comment after his arraignment Monday, Johnathan Szabo, of Charleroi, said simply, "Sorry." Rostraver Township police say Szabo worked at the Dollar General store in the Tri-County Plaza. They say he picked up a cigarette lighter from a shelf and began setting fire to paper products about 6:45 p.m. Friday.
