Three Children Charged with Arson
Three children ages 10 through 16 have been arrested for setting fire to a ticket booth at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds.
In an e-mail sent to WESB and The HERO, Sheriff’s deputies say the ticket booth just off the Pat Magee Trail was intentionally set on fire at about 6 p.m. on April 30.
Investigators learned that a 10-year-old, 14-year-old and 16-year-old broke into the booth, removed a doll from inside the booth, dumped gasoline on the doll and used that to set fire to the ticket booth.
All three children were arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary, arson and criminal mischief. Two of them were issued appearance tickets for family court; the third was arraigned and released on his own recognizance. He’ll appear later in Town of Little Valley Court.
