A Beverly Hills man has been arrested for setting fire to two homes and a statue of Jesus Christ, according to authorities.
"Not only is arson dangerous, but in some cases can be deadly," Citrus County Sheriff Prendergast said in a Saturday statement. "No one in our community was injured during Harris’ tirade of inconceivable acts. I applaud our deputies, Community Crimes Detectives, and our partners at Citrus County Fire Rescue for working swiftly and diligently to keep our community safe from further harm."
A fire "caused major damage" to the house on South Wadsworth. A fence outside the home on South Barbour Street was set ablaze, and its windows were "covered in a liquid, possibly gasoline," according to police. Harris also attempted to set fire to propane tanks at the Catholic Church where he lit the Jesus statue and tree on fire.
