Charges of arson and other crimes were filed in connection with a fire Saturday morning at an adult club in South Huntingdon.
The Trib reports that the fire was reported around 1:15 AM, and brought 10 fire companies to The Filly Gentlemen’s Club in the 100 block of Motordrome Road. No injuries were reported, but surveillance video showed the suspect, Javier Santacruz Ramirez, purchasing a lighter, using a five gallon bucket to purchase gas, and rooting through garbage to find some combustible material. Video also caught Ramirez carrying the bucket to the Filly club and moving out of view on the south side of the building, followed by a large fire starting and someone running away to a rear parking lot.
Ramirez is in jail as he was denied bond due to being a flight risk. A preliminary hearing is set for August 23rd.
