A 21-year-old Greenfield man has been arrested after allegedly starting a fire in his apartment.
According to the Greenfield Police, Seth Schmidt was arrested after officers and firefighters were called to a call of a structure fire Tuesday at 2130 Crossing Lane in the Greenfield Crossing apartment complex.
First responders were able to contain the fire to the apartment and put it out quickly with fire extinguishers and begin an investigation.
During the investigation, witnesses and neighbors stated there was a domestic disturbance that took place shortly before the fire and evidence located at the scene prompted officers to make an arrest.
Schmidt was being held in the Hancock County Jail Wednesday afternoon, awaiting an initial hearing in court. Formal charges are being considered by the Hancock County Prosecutor's Office and could be filed after a review of the case is done.
