Aron Jenkins, a 15-year-old who had served as a cadet on the New Carlisle Fire Department, also was arrested and is being held in a juvenile detention center. He has been charged with delinquency counts of aggravated arson and breaking and entering.
Doak was a firefighter on the New Carlisle FD but had been fired recently for “administrative violations.” It was the second time that he has been in trouble with the department. In 2001 he was suspended for using vulgar language in front of the public. Following his recent firing, investigators say the he planned to start setting more fires in retaliation for the dismissal.
