An Amazon employee was taken into custody in connection with a fire that broke out in the shipping facility where he worked in Redlands last week, officials said Wednesday.
Brian Allen Ingersoll, 38, was arrested on suspicion of arson last Friday, a day after a blaze damaged at least $250,000 worth of merchandise inside the e-commerce behemoth’s fulfillment center at 2125 San Bernardino Ave., said Carl Baker, a public information officer for the city of Redlands.
The Redlands resident was inside the facility, apparently at work, when he was taken into custody by an arson investigator following the Redlands Fire Department’s probe of the June 7 incident.
