(AP) — The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office says a man wearing nothing below the waist has been arrested and accused of setting fire to a mobile home occupied by a woman, a baby and two other children.

The fire marshal's office says 33-year-old James Rozas of Mamou was arrested Friday on charges of arson, attempted murder and violating a protective order after the pre-dawn fire.

The statement said the woman and children escaped unharmed from the home in Mamou.

Authorities said several law enforcement agencies helped the fire marshal’s team track Rozas to a community about 25 miles away where he was arrested around noon, still wearing nothing but a hooded sweatshirt.
