A man rode up to a stranger's driveway in unincorporated Port Orchard on a golf cart, his dog riding in the passenger seat, and set the garage on fire with a torch and a can of accelerant, Kitsap County Sheriff's Office investigators say.
Within minutes, the garage was fully involved, according to KIRO 7 .
The neighbor then flagged down a Washington State Patrol trooper who happened to be passing nearby.
No court date had been published by any outlet as of this writing.
What none of the coverage has been able to answer is the question the homeowner himself raised: why his house.
A 47-year-old man is jailed on suspicion of first-degree arson and second-degree assault after investigators say he rode a golf cart onto a stranger's driveway and torched the garage, causing roughly $200,000 in damage.
