A suspect has been arrested in connection with the “suspicious” fires that burned at three historically black Louisiana churches over the span of 10 days, CNN reported Wednesday. Local officials had said they believed the three fires — which occurred on March 26, April 2 and April 4 — in St. Landry Parish had been intentionally set. It’s unclear whether that incident is linked to the St. Landry blazes. State Fire Marshal H. Browning said last week that officials believed the three St. Landry fires to be “suspicious,” noting without elaboration that “patterns” had been identified. Officials from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will reportedly also be present.
