Suspect Arrested for Allegedly Setting Fires

There's been a lot of talk about someone setting fires in the north part of Uptown.  Ald. Osterman's office sent out this note with regard to the alley fires set behind 840 W Ainslie and the 925 W Margate porch fire last week.  Some good news from Ald. Osterman's office:

"Message from the 48th Ward

I received word that the 20th District Police have arrested a person of interest in connection with the Alley fires in the area. They are currently investigating and questioning him. As soon as we have confirmation of charges I will relay those as well. If anyone has any additional information that may help in this investigation please forward the information to me and I will get it to the proper authorities.

Thank you
