BATON ROUGE — Fire investigators arrested a man in connection with an April vehicle fire they said was intentionally set.

According to the Baton Rouge Fire Department, firefighters responded shortly after midnight on Apr. 13 on Jackson Avenue and found a vehicle on fire in the front yard of a vacant residence. The department said suspicious circumstances led investigators to determine someone intentionally set the fire.

Investigators later identified 45-year-old Karl Banks as a suspect. A Louisiana State Police task force arrested him on Oct. 29, according to the fire department.

Banks was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Oct. 30 on a charge of criminal conspiracy to commit arson with intent to defraud.
