Jason Forsythe, 49, of 4650 McLemoresville Road, Huntingdon, was arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated arson, and criminal attempt following the investigation into an April 19 fire near Huntingdon.
According to the report by Deputy Michael Mulligan, he responded to 6185 Old Stage Road at around 7 a.m. on April 19 after receiving a call about an individual shooting at a barn and lighting a car on fire.
Upon arrival, Mulligan found a shed, converted into living quarters, was fully engulfed in flames. Mulligan observed Forsythe looking out of the window of a recreational vehicle. Forsythe told the deputy he did not know what started the fire.
Having knowledge of an outstanding warrant against Forsythe, Mulligan placed him under arrest.
