House Fire Leads To Arrest
A fire near the US-34 overpass in Warren County resulted in the arrest of a Galesburg man on charges of Arson.

24 year old Dustin Lewis was arrested by Warren County Sheriff's at the Knox County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday of this week.

Lewis is accused of starting a fire at an uninhabited house and stealing items that were stored inside the dwelling.

The home itself had not been used as a residence for an undetermined number of years, but was a total loss in the fire.

Illinois State Police Crime Scene Technicians, the Illinois State Fire Marshal's Office, and the Knox County Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation.

Lewis is being held in lieu of $75,000 bond.

The investigation is continuing.
