VIDEO: A Kenosha man was arrested for arson after a boat fire at Racine's Reefpoint Marina Friday, Oct. 20.
According to the Racine County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to the marina just after 5 a.m. after receiving a call that a boat was engulfed in flames.
"It reeks of fire and charcoal, and it really got a lot of damage," said Sheriff's Lt. Michael Luell.
Sheriff's deputies, police and firefighters responded and put out the fire. The fire department said 22 firefighters responded to the scene.
"I can confidently state this was an intentional act to damage this boat," Luell said. "I’d say most arsons are normally a whodunit, but investigators were able to connect the dots pretty quickly."
Sheriff’s investigators and the Arson Task Force identified 27-year-old Kenneth Koger as a suspect in the arson and took him into custody later Friday.
