Harrisburg Man Charged with Arson After Family Dollar Fire

Abdiel Angueira-Vazquez, 30, was arrested and charged with arson, resisting arrest, and public drunkenness after allegedly setting fire to the back of a Family Dollar store on South 13th Street in Harrisburg early Tuesday morning. The fire started around 3:40 a.m., damaging an HVAC unit, part of the building's exterior, and a small section of the roof, but firefighters prevented the fire from spreading inside the store. A sanitation worker's quick 911 call helped authorities contain the fire before it could cause more extensive damage. Witnesses positively identified Angueira-Vazquez, who was found nearby wearing clothing matching the description given to police. Police noted a distinct odor from an unknown drug on Angueira-Vazquez, which may have affected his behavior during arrest. The store remains closed, and repairs are estimated to cost between $50,000 and $60,000.
