Suspect in Lake County Arson Fires Arrested

By Beacon Staff

POLSON – Officials in Lake County have arrested a St. Ignatius man suspected in a string of recent fires in St. Ignatius and Pablo.

Chase Kuntz, 19, is charged with one count of arson for a fire that destroyed a log cabin east of St. Ignatius on June 5.

Prosecutors say Kuntz is a person of interest in several other structure fires, including a June 2 fire that destroyed the second oldest building in St. Ignatius.

Detectives are following several other leads, and are still asking for tips.
