Double-Arson In San Antonio
AROUND 1 AM FRIDAY MORNING A FIRE STARTED IN a transmission repair shop in San Antonio, Texas. When the FD arrived the building was heavily involved and was destructive to the point where the entire building will be demolished today. Nine automobiles inside were lost, also.
Forty-five minutes after the original alarm, a police officer in nearby San Marcos observed a suspicious auto outside another transmission shop. As she approached, a small explosion rocked the business and a fire broke out. A man ran out with his clothes on fire. The man was not seriously hurt. Three men were arrested at the scene.
Adam Rodriguez, 26, Michael Rodriguez, 18 and Jeremy Garcia, 19, are all in the Hays County jail. Five vehicles and about 30 percent of the business was damaged in the fire.
Both repair shops are owned by the same people, so you know where the investigation is leading.
