GENEVA (AP) ? A man who?s served prison time for arson is accused of burning an icehouse on a rural property near Geneva in northern Iowa.
Geneva and Hansell firefighters combatted the blaze Wednesday night. No injuries have been reported.
Franklin County deputies say they stopped a car that witnesses spotted leaving the scene and later arrested 27-year-old Brandon Deetz. He?s charged with arson, operating while intoxicated, theft and trespassing.
His court-appointed attorney, Randy Hohansen, declined to comment today, saying he hadn?t yet talked to Deetz.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Deetz was imprisoned for fires in Bremer and Chickasaw counties and is on parole.
