An transient man has been arrested in connection with an early morning fire Tuesday that damaged a building at Red Bluff’s River Park.
Wesley Marcello Reed, 38, was booked into Tehama County Jail on two counts of arson, according to a Red Bluff Police Department press release.
The fire was reported at 2:34 a.m. Tuesday with damage kept to the exterior of the building, which is next to the stage at the park, said Red Bluff Fire Chief Ray Barber. It was caused by a couch sitting against the building that had been set on fire and extended into the roof and eaves of the building.
Damage was estimated at $20,000, according to the release.
Police officers responded to assist in the incident in conjunction with arson investigators from Red Bluff Fire Department.
