LONG BEACH --

An amazing arrest took place EARLY today down in Long Beach, and tonight a possible dangerous serial "fire bug" is behind steel bars...

Josh
ua E. Thomas, 25, was taken into custody this morning and is being suspected of starting as least 18 fires all over the Long Beach community during the past couple of months alone.  WTH is this guy thinking?

Thomas was busted in the middle of the night (Wednesday morning) at around 3:30 a.m. near Temple Street and Seventh Street by officers patrolling in the area.

Apparently Thomas has a bizarre "walking" style that officers said "gave him away."

He was allegedly spotted near one of the suspected arson locations at  Loma Avenue and Anaheim Street this past weekend during the annual Long Beach Gran Prix weekend.  His "strut" gave him away.  Anyway, as soon as his bail information and available to the media, including details on his first court appearance, and other official details, I will update my blog.  Arson is scary stuff.  I never truly understood people who set things on fire.  Anyway, hit my comment section if you have anything to add...or you just want to vent your frustrations....
