PONTIAC (WWJ) -- The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is offering a hefty cash reward for information on an arsonist.
The incident happened at around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 10, sheriff's officials said, at Trademark Liquor & Check Cashing at 1220 Perry Street on Pontiac.
Arson investigators determined that a man poured an unknown substance onto the floor and used a knit cap he grabbed off the store's counter to ignite it.
The man then ran out of the building, fleeing in the area in a dark-colored four-door Dodge Ram truck.
The Waterford Regional Fire Department responded to extinguish the fire, and no one was injured.
The suspect — who was caught on the store's security camera — was wearing a ski mask, a lime green safety vest, a long sleeve shirt, black pants, and tan construction boots.
The Detroit Arson Commission announced Thursday it offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this suspect. Anyone with information should call 1-800-44-ARSON.
