A feud between Janesville brothers landed one of them in jail Monday accused of setting fires at the other brother’s home as well as weapons violations, the Janesville Police Dept. reports.
According to the police department, its officers and firefighters were called to the the victim’s home in the 3300 block of Ruger Ave. around 7:30 a.m. where they found a trash container burning in the driveway and another fire near the porch. Firefighters got both under control before the blazes could engulf the home, but not before they caused some damage to the structure.
The brother who lived there told the fire scene officers about the ongoing dispute and indicated that his brother, who was identified as Alexander Logue, had alluded to coming over about the time of the fire and allegedly telling the victim to tell police “he did it.”
